Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, are studying what nannies and other domestic employees think about certain issues that come up when you’re working in someone else’s home. One-hour confidential interview. $50 honorarium. Get in touch for more info, if you want to participate! To maintain confidentiality, please don't respond on this thread. Call/text Julia Bernd at 650-862-0509 // Email [email protected] // DM [username@sitename] Screening Script [Introduce self.] I’m part of a group of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley that are doing a research study about the use of certain technologies in homes where nannies and other domestic employees work. If you’re selected, we’d be asking you to do a confidential interview that would last an hour to an hour and a half, where we’d ask you about your opinions and experiences with those types of technologies. To thank you for your time, we would offer an honorarium of $50. Do you have any questions for me so far? [Confirm/get respondent’s name] Where do you live? (City, country) Next, I need to ask a couple of questions to make sure you’re eligible to participate in this study. To confirm, are you currently working as a nanny, an au pair, or a babysitter? (Which one?) [If yes] Part time or full time? [If yes] Do you watch the child(ren) at your employer’s home, or your own? (Or somewhere else entirely?) 3 Nannies Study Instruments Interview Guide (Long Form) [If currently nannying/etc.] How long have you been a [nanny/au pair/babysitter]? [If not currently nannying/etc.] How long did you work as a [nanny/au pair/babysitter]? How long ago was that? [If babysitter] Is babysitting your main job? About how much of your job income comes from babysitting? We don’t need details right now, but do you know whether any place you’ve worked has (or had) any “smart home” devices? (Clarify if necessary: You don’t have to have worked for someone that has those types of devices to be eligible; we want to know your opinions anyway.) (Try to avoid explaining/giving examples if you can.) To make sure you don’t feel constrained about your answers, we won’t be interviewing anyone whose employer also responded. What’s your current employer’s name? (Clarify: We won’t use the employer’s name for anything else other than making sure we don’t interview anyone whose employer also responded. We’ll destroy this piece of information as soon as we have our participant list settled.) (Clarify if necessary: If we quote anything you say when we publish papers about this study, we will not use your name, and we’ll try to obscure any details that could identify you. But we just want to make sure there’s no reason you could have any concern about what you say, for example if you were worried that your employer would guess you might have participated.) What’s the best way to get in touch with you if we select you for the study? We will pick participants from among the people who get in touch with us. So once we have a list of eligible participants, we will pick and contact you to invite you to do an interview. Or we’ll contact you to let you know you weren’t selected. Meanwhile, once we’ve settled the participant list, we’ll destroy the information you’ve just given us (whether or not you’re selected); it won’t be part of our research. [Thank respondent for their time.] Interview Guide (Long Form) [Each interviewer has their own short-form crib sheet to use during the actual interview.] Introduction [Notes for Interviewer: The interview should follow the lead of the participant and move at a pace that seems comfortable for them. Exact questions and ordering of topics will vary from interview to interview. 4 Nannies Study Instruments Interview Guide (Long Form) The main goal is to explore the topic of cameras and similar monitoring, in the first few sections. The later sections on smart home devices are secondary, despite how much of the interview guide they take up. If you have to shorten the later sections, focus on the purple-highlighted questions. Target time: One hour; max time: one and a half hours.] - Introduce yourself - Check in about specific time constraints the participant may have - Explain consent process; give participant time to read the form; (if they agree) collect signed copy and give them a copy to keep - Brief explanation of project - Ask whether you can record the interview - Explain: - The recording will be kept confidential. It will only be listened to by a transcriber and the research team. The transcript will also be confidential. - We may use quotes from the transcript when we publish or present reports on our research, but we will not say who said it. (And we’ll leave out or change anything that’s very unique to you.) You can ask for any specific comments to be taken off the record, or for us not to use direct quotes from you at

  • Making and Managing Class: Employment of Paid Domestic Workers in Russia Anna Rotkirch, Olga Tkach and Elena Zdravomyslova Intro
    Making and Managing Class: Employment of Paid Domestic Workers in Russia Anna Rotkirch, Olga Tkach and Elena Zdravomyslova This text is published with minor corrections as Chapter 6 in Suvi Salmenniemi (ed) Rethinking class in Russia. London: Ashgate 2012, 129-148. Introduction1 Before, they used to say “everybody comes from the working classes”. I have had to learn these new practices from scratch. I had to understand how to organise my domestic life, how to communicate with the people who I employ. They have to learn this too. (Lidiia, housekeeper) Social class is a relational concept, produced through financial, social and symbolic exchange and acted out in the market, in work places, and also in personal consumption and lifestyle. The relations between employers and employees constitute one key dimension of social class. Of special interest are the contested interactions that lack established cultural scripts and are therefore prone to uncertainties and conflicts. Commercialised interactions in the sphere of domesticity contribute to the making of social class no less than do those in the public sphere. In this chapter, we approach paid domestic work as a realm of interactions through which class boundaries are drawn and class identity is formed. We are interested in how middle class representatives seek out their new class identity through their standards and strategies of domestic management, although we also discuss the views of the domestic workers. As the housekeeper Lidiia stresses in the introductory quotation to this chapter, both employers and employees have to learn new micro-management practices and class relations from scratch. The assertion that class is in continual production (Skeggs 2004) is especially true for the contemporary Russian situation, where stratification grids are loose and class is restructured under the pressure of political and economic changes.

  • The Case of Bartu Ben
    Transformation of Comedy with Streaming Services: The Case of Bartu Ben Nisa Yıldırım, Independent Scholar [email protected] Volume 8.2 (2020) | ISSN 2158-8724 (online) | DOI 10.5195/cinej.2020.300 | http://cinej.pitt.edu Abstract Comedy has always been one of the most popular genres in Turkish cinema and television series. As the distinction between film and series has begun to blur in the post-television era, narratives are transforming according to the characteristics of the new medium. Streaming services targeting niche audience offer more freedom to creators of their content. This article aims to study the comedy series Bartu Ben (Its me, Bartu) which is one of the original series of Turkish streaming service Blu TV, in order to interpret the differences of the series from traditional television comedies, and contribution of streaming services to the transformation of the genre.

Streaming services have been threatening cinema and television lately in terms of both production and distribution by creating their original films and series, besides offering wide-ranging archives including films, series, and documentaries from various countries with subtitles and dubbing options.

  • Nanny Packet
    Guidelines for Screening Nannies and Babysitters Check References • Ask for references from people who know the applicant. • Listen carefully for tone. • Elicit examples to support answers to interview questions. • Among other questions, ask, “Would you hire this person again to care for your children?” Do background checks (for applicants 18 years and older) • Request a background check through your local police department or online. • Check the National Sex Offender Registry to see if the applicant has been convicted of sexual assault. Check driving records • If your nanny or babysitter will be transporting your children, check his or her driving record through your local Department of Motor Vehicles. Conduct an interview • Get to know applicants by asking open ended and thought-provoking questions. • Include questions about child sexual abuse prevention—e.g., Have you ever received sexual abuse prevention education? What would you do if my child asked you to keep a secret from me? How would you respond to my children grabbing each other’s private parts while bathing? • Listen carefully for how the person responds to each question and watch body language— i.e., Is the individual warm and responsive? Does the person give examples and accept responsibility for her/his actions? • Listen to your intuition! Your gut instinct is the best and most qualified interviewer! If you have a nagging or ambivalent feeling, or find that you are talking yourself into liking the applicant, she/he isn’t the right person for the job. Get a signed agreement (see page two for sample) Conduct a trial run • Ask the sitter or nanny to supervise your children doing an activity and observe how she/he interacts with your children.

  • Fran Drescher
    THE STAR OF THE HIT TV COMEDYS “THE NANNY” AND “HAPPILY DIVORCED” Fran Drescher shares with us how her own cancer battle has led her to take her comedic talent and fame and create the movement known as “Cancer Schmancer" By Elise Cohen Ho ELT! Natural Wellness Subscribe Free Special Feature Gracious...Kind...Funny...Humble...Inspiring...these are some of the words that I would use to describe Fran Drescher. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with this incredible Queens, New York born powerhouse and was humbled to be able to determine for myself if the rumors about her personality were true. The rumor is that she is a very warm and loving person and this reporter absolutely believes it to be true. Fran Drescher is a rape victim, a divorcee, a comedian, an actress, a uterine cancer survivor, and a cancer prevention advocate. She believes strongly that you must take the negative and turn it into a positive. She states. "Sometimes the best gifts come in the ugliest packages." Yes, she understands, all too well, how difficult this can be dependent on the extreme nature of the action that requires a reaction but she does it, and she does it beautifully. Fran met her soul mate when they were both teenagers. This boy would grow up to be writer and producer Peter Marc Jacobsen. Fran and Peter went to high school together, created The Nanny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3unWr_b2Ew) together, were brutally attacked together, were absolutely in love and eventually divorced after 21 years of marriage.

    Opler, Daniel. « Between the “Other” Classes : The Nanny and the Ideological Creation of the American Middle Class », Cercles 8 (2003) : 68-77 <www.cercles.com>. ©Cercles 2003.

Daniel Opler New York University BETWEEN THE “OTHER” CLASSES The Nanny and the Ideological Creation of the American Middle Class1 Introduction Few things are as confusing to Marxists as is the present-day American mid- dle class. In the U.S. nowadays, one finds extreme consciousness of the exis- tence of a middle class, but without any economic indicators common to those calling themselves “middle class.” The term therefore becomes a severe chal- lenge to any serious consideration of what class means in America today. In this study, I argue that the middle class is ideological in nature. This means, as historian Barbara Fields has demonstrated, that it must be a continuing process; ideologies must be constantly reinforced if they are to remain in exis- tence.2 I examine the ways in which writers and producers of American televi- sion sitcoms aid in the ideological creation of a middle class by creating cultural upper and lower classes. Through this examination of the 1990s sit- com The Nanny, I argue that middle-class Americans are able to create a class identity far different from the upper and lower classes they see depicted on television. This difference allows the members of the audience to create a mid- 1.
