McNamara This project examines intersections of work, gender, and emotional labor among paramedics in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Ethnographic research on gender and work analyzes labor through pre-gendered lenses: occupations are either masculinized or feminized, and the people who work those jobs are either in gender- matched occupations, or they are crossing over into occupations that have not traditionally been associated with their gender. EMS is a unique case in which workers are required to perform both masculinized and feminized labor in the context of the same job. Furthermore, EMS is relatively gender-integrated, which allows us to see how women and men engage emergency work/masculinity and care work/femininity in a single occupational setting. I investigate paramedics’ emotional labor and gender performance on the job using interviews, participant observation, and auto-ethnography conducted over eighteen months that I spent working as a paramedic on a 911 ambulance. Where labor process workplace ethnographies focus on workers’ experiences on the shop v floor, I argue that we must move into paramedics’ break room time and off-duty time when analyzing their social reproduction and commitment to EMS. I identify key challenges relating to their dignity and posit specific forms of emotional labor that neutralize those challenges while shoring up paramedics’ identities as “heroic.” I begin “on the shop floor” – on 911 calls – and expand my focus outward to encompass increasingly wider units of analysis. First, I set the context with a comprehensive survey of EMS and ambulance-based paramedics’ working conditions within the industry. Next, I explore the emotion work that paramedics deploy to protect their patients from stressful information. I then interpret the ways in which break room conversations allow medics to process emotionally challenging calls, vent anger over being “abused” by the public, and engage in intimacy-building practices that prepare them to work cooperatively in high-stress emergency situations. In the final section, I explore the retroactive emotion work that paramedics perform on themselves to return to work each day with their dignity intact. The conclusion includes a refashioned understanding of heroism incorporating both physical and emotional risk-taking. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My sincere thanks to Julie Bettie and Lisbeth Haas for expertise, guidance, and warm encouragement throughout the dissertation process. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with you! Thank you especially for your willingness to tolerate the pace of work – it was more than I had the right to ask, and I appreciate it. To Steve McKay: I am a different scholar, worker, writer, teacher, and activist for having spent the last 8 years learning from you. I count myself exceptionally lucky to have benefited from your mentorship. Thank you for pushing me to think harder, for being patient when I did not produce anything for long periods of time, and for always continuing to believe that I could. Your confidence in me was the bridge I needed to grow my own. And finally, for the steady and generous stream of moral support and pep talks: Nadia R., Laura H., Joe K., Ariana K., Claudia L., Ally S., Elana G., John F., Michelle P., Patricia G., Andy S., Ulises, Sarita, Rae, Shaun, Erin, Jimmy F., Tom D., Sami, Fatima, Mom, Dad, Haley, and Paul. vii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION One thing that fucks me up more than anything else, like with a sudden traumatic code or an accident or something, is when we get called in the middle of lunch, and I think, like, when I ordered this sandwich, that person was driving down the road listening to their music and everything was fine. Now it’s ten minutes later and I’m trying to cram this sandwich into my mouth on the way to the call, but they’re dead. And I know they’re dead, but their dog doesn’t even know that they’re not coming home tonight. It trips me out…just knowing how fast life can disappear. It’s amazing. - Sean, 35 Sean is a typical paramedic. He loves some parts of his job and resents other parts. He takes pride in his work, despite being poorly paid compared to his colleagues on the fire department and in hospital emergency departments. He has worked on an ambulance medic for thirteen years – longer than most medics will stay “on the bus,” but far short of the two or three decades that a small percentage of his older colleagues have clocked. Unlike the characters in television depictions of Emergency Medical Services workers, Sean does not spend his workdays responding to calls as dramatic – and traumatic – as the one he describes in the quote above. He spends a lot of time doing paperwork, running non-emergent calls, trading friendly insults with his co-workers, and taking advantage of the occasional opportunity to nap before a busy 1 night. Sean puts his physical and mental health at risk every day that he comes to work, yet he feels that he enjoys less social prestige than firefighters who run far fewer calls but benefit from higher pay and a full public retirement. Sean’s wages in EMS support his feeling that he is not paid as much as comparable jobs in emergency services: the national wage median for paramedics was $780/week in 2012 (as compared to firefighting at $1068/week or nursing at $1097/week). Despite his desire for better pay and more respect, though, Sean isn’t planning to leave the industry. He sees himself as an emergency worker, and is proud of what he does. Sean’s understanding of his work mirrors that of his coworkers. Like most paramedics, he tends to place more emphasis on the “emergency” part of the job than on the “caring” part. Many other jobs fall into straightforward occupational categories: nursing is “care” work, for example, while

Torrance’s doctrine of baptism has suffered from misunderstanding and has been widely neglected. This arises from Torrance introducing a new soteriological paradigm, that is claimed by Torrance, to be both new, and at the same time to be a recovery of the work of the early church fathers and Calvin.

  • OUR STREETS, OUR RECOVERY: LET’S GET ALL NEW YORKERS MOVING a 17-Point Plan for a Safe, Affordable, Reliable, and Equitable Transportation System
    THE DETAILS TO DELIVER: SCOTT STRINGER’S MAYORAL PLANS Volume 2 OUR STREETS, OUR RECOVERY: LET’S GET ALL NEW YORKERS MOVING A 17-point plan for a safe, affordable, reliable, and equitable transportation system FEBURARY 10, 2021 OUR STREETS, OUR RECOVERY: LET’S GET ALL NEW YORKERS MOVING A 17-point plan for a safe, affordable, reliable, and equitable transportation system EXECUTIVE SUMMARY New York City became America’s economic engine and a beacon of opportunity on the strength of its expansive transportation network. Today, as we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic and strive to build a better city in the years ahead, transportation must be central to this mission. Equity, opportunity, sustainability, environmental justice, public health, economic development — each of these bedrock principles and goals are inextricably linked to our streetscapes, our community spaces, and public transit. New York City needs a transportation system and street network that works for all New Yorkers — one that connects us to jobs, resources, and loved ones; that serves the young, the old and everyone in between; that supports frontline workers who cannot work from home and who commute outside of the nine-to-five work day; and one that provides fast, frequent, reliable, affordable, and sustainable transit in every zip code of every borough. Right now our transit system, so much of which was laid out in the last century, is failing to serve New Yorkers in the 21st century. Instead, our communities of color and non-Manhattan residents suffer the longest commutes, the highest asthma rates, the worst access to parks and community space, the highest rates of STRINGER FOR MAYOR | FEBRUARY 10, 2021 2 pedestrian and cycling injuries, the fewest protected bike lanes and subway stops, and too many working people can’t get where they need to go, when they need to go there.
