This dissertation addresses the central question- How are parenting methodologies across the sending and receiving nations shaped by larger macro forces embedded in economy and labor market forces? In order to answer this key question this project analyzes interviews with 59 middle-class mothers in Edison, New Jersey and Kolkata, India. This project contributes to the larger scope of immigration and transnational studies while placing them at the cross section of globalization of economy, labor market and education. The first chapter examines extensively the schooling systems in Edison and Kolkata and the ways it shapes parenting methods in these two locations. -
The Family Models Held by Social Workers and Family Policy Programmes: Critical Remarks on Gender and Class Perspectives Prof
ERIS web journal, 1/2012 The family models held by social workers and family policy programmes: critical remarks on gender and class perspectives Prof. Dr. Barbara Thiessen University of Applied Science Landshut, Faculty Social Work Abstract Supporting families is one of the main tasks of social work. Financial support, health or psychological assistance: social workers have to deal with families. But what are families? Which models do social workers employ when they think of a “normal family”, what do they expect of mothers and fathers? What is in their eyes “successful” parenting? On the other hand, how does the family experience itself as a client? Are there discrepancies between their own understanding of the notion family and what they think social workers expect of their family life? Empirical studies on the family model ideas held by social workers and their clients illustrate differences, e.g. the different parenting models of “natural growth” vs. “concerted cultivation” (Lareau 2003). They also show us how gender and class perspectives are integrated in the different family models. Furthermore, empirical reconstructions of the different family models held by clients and social workers show growing feelings of uncertainty among clients about their way of living family. This constrains contact and evokes shame. The article intends to open the discussion on family models and their embedded gender and class constructions. The ability to reflect on thinking of a “normal family” should be part of the professional toolkit of social workers. Preliminaries: Starting with a practical example Today the girls from the Youth Club in Reutlingen, South Germany, are going in a day trip. -

Are Children Overstructured?: Involvement in Adult-Organized Activities and Children’S Outcomes
ARE CHILDREN OVERSTRUCTURED?: INVOLVEMENT IN ADULT-ORGANIZED ACTIVITIES AND CHILDREN’S OUTCOMES A THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in The Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly M. Turpin, B.A. *** The Ohio State University 2008 Master’s Examination Committee: Dr. Douglas B. Downey, Adviser Approved By: Dr. Liana Sayer ________________________ Adviser Dr. Zhenchao Qian Graduate Department of Sociology ABSTRACT Changes in how Americans view the role of children have prompted an increase in the deliberate cultivation of children's skills through intensive and structured parenting. With children participating in more structured activities as a result of this shift in childrearing philosophies, there are many reasons to question the benefits of these increasingly "hurried schedules." Surprisingly, however, scholars have ignored possible negative ramifications by assuming that structured activities have a simple, linear relationship with children's well-being. With more detailed modeling, I test whether the functional form of the relationship is linear, threshold, or curvilinear by analyzing a sample of 17,527 elementary-age children from The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Kindergarten Class of 1998-99. Findings primarily reveal a threshold relationship. For example, participation in two (versus none or one) structured activities per month was associated with greater well-being among children, but further levels of participation in structured activities resulted in no additional benefit. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Douglas Downey whose insightful comments delivered at rapid speed was invaluable to my work. He is also responsible for alerting me to the body of literature surrounding concerted cultivation and inspiring me to tackle the “hurried child” hypothesis in my own work. -
Chinese Concerted Cultivation: the Determinants of Parenting and Its Effects on Children’S Cognitive Development from a Multigenerational Perspective
Chinese Concerted Cultivation: The Determinants of Parenting and Its Effects on Children’s Cognitive Development from a Multigenerational Perspective Boyan Zheng* Abstract This study uses 2010 to 2014 Chinese Family Panel Study data (N = 1137) to examine the class difference of Chinese parenting based on the concerted cultivation theory. Chinese concerted cultivation is operationalized as four dimensions: organized leisure time, family environment, supervisory parental involvement, and assistive parental involvement. The analyses are threefold. First, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) indicates that concerted cultivation is a valid construct for Chinese parenting. Second, controlling for family income, parental and grandparental education positively contributes to the use of concerted cultivation, indicating that cultural capital exerts a stronger effect on parenting than monetary capital. Third, employing Marginal Structural Model (MSM), the analysis shows that the experience of organized leisure time, good family environment, and supervisory parental involvement improves children’s cognitive abilities, while assistive parental involvement has no significant effects. The results support the cross-cultural validity of concerted cultivation theory and enrich the knowledge of Chinese parenting. * Corresponding author: Boyan Zheng ([email protected]). Boyan would like to express his appreciation for advisorship from Prof. Xi Song at the University of Chicago. PAA 2019, Chinese Concerted Cultivation, 2 INTRODUCTION In sociology, various theories and empirical research have considered the family a pivotal context in which parents with advantaged backgrounds transmit their advantages to their children, and researchers have accumulated abundant evidence regarding the transmission function of family (Sewell, Haller, and Portes 1969; Dimaggio and Mohr 1985; Coleman 1988; Portes 1998; McLanahan and Percheski 2008; Bourdieu et al. -

Infant Nation: Childhood Innocence and the Politics of Race in Contemporary American Fiction De
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: Infant Nation: Childhood Innocence and the Politics of Race in Contemporary American Fiction Debra T. Werrlein, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Linda Kauffman Department of English In fant Nation considers literary representations of childhood as sites where anxieties about race, class and gender inequalities converge. Popular and canonical representations of American childhood often revere it as a condition that precedes history, lack s knowledge, and thus, avoids accountability. I argue that invocations of this depoliticized ideal mask systems of privilege, particularly relating to white middle - class masculinity. My study highlights literature published between 1970 and 1999, a perio d marked by growing concern regarding boundaries of race and nation. With special attention to postcolonial and critical race theories, I argue that the authors here portray the United States as a nation infantilized by its desire to reclaim a mythically innocent past. In untidy formulations of nation that mirror their disjointed narrative styles, the novels interfere with the operation of nostalgia in American memory. They revise the ideal of innocent childhood to model a form of citizenship deeply engaged in acts of historical recuperation. I respond to theories of postmodern literature and cultural studies that emphasize the central role memory plays in shaping our future, presenting an analysis I feel is especially urgent at a time when neo -conservat ive policy -makers subscribe to a Trent Lott -style nostalgia for a mythically innocent pre - Civil Rights era. Chapter One examines Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters (1990). I argue that Hagedorn cedes authentic history to the corrosive powers of assimilationis m and consumerism, invoking multiple stories of history’s loss instead. -
