Photo by Victoria Albaugh, Everyone knows librarians help students find books and other research materials used to write papers, but sometimes they decide to go above and beyond to help those who pass through their library. Joseph Armstrong, a senior in the middle of finals season, needed help to finish his web page design project. He thought he would have to hire an expensive tutor. But Clayton, a children’s librarian at the Eaton Branch who just graduated with a business degree that included a focus on web page design, volunteered his time to help Joseph. They sat down together for a while in the library, and now Joseph is one step closer to completing his project. It’s always wonderful to see our library team going out of their way to help their community. ~Rachel Duncan, Library Assistant, Eaton Branch~ Library Admin. Office 450 S.

City Research Online: http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/ [email protected] The rise of the ‘yummy mummy’: popular conservatism and the neoliberal maternal in contemporary British culture Jo Littler Abstract This article analyses the emergence of the new social type of the ‘yummy mummy’ by examining the constellation of narratives circulating through and around it in British culture. It contends that, whilst it has some notable precursors, the idea of the yummy mummy marks a fairly substantial cultural shift given the weight of the western Christian tradition that has overwhelmingly positioned the mother as asexual. Coming into being in part through an increasing social divide between rich and poor, this stock type most often serves to augment a white, thirtysomething position of privilege, shoring up its boundaries against the other side of the social divide (so-called ‘pramfaces’).
