Mapping the Caregiver Experience
Objective: Family caregiving is a prevalent, diverse, and often challenging experience. We develop caregiving activity profiles to better understand how sets of care-tasks contribute to various aspects of strain. Methods: Using diary data from a survey of 213 family caregivers in the U.S., we perform latent class analysis to group commonly occurring care-related tasks into activity profiles. We then use these classifications to predict physical, …
State Policy Liberalism in Adolescence and Risk for Dementia from 2000 to 2016 among Older U.S. Adults
Although prior research identifies many social determinants of dementia, few studies look upstream toward dementia’s macrosocial correlates, and fewer still consider macrosocial conditions in early life. This study focuses on state policy contexts in adolescence and, specifically, on state policy liberalism, defined as the overarching conservative–liberal orientation of state policies. We link panel data from a nationally representative sample of…
New Role, New Paycheck
Objectives: While prior research demonstrates the negative impacts of adult caregiving on women’s employment, less research examines how women’s employment changes when beginning a new caregiving role. Methods: Using data from eight waves of the Health and Retirement Study (2004–2018), I examine changes in women’s employment when first transitioning into parental caregiving between the ages of 50–60, by analyzing changes in labor force participat…
An Intersectional Approach to Understanding the Psychological Health Effects of Combining Work and Parental Caregiving
Accounting for intersectionality is imperative to research on family caregiving, work, and psychological health
Geographic Patterns of Dementia in the United States
The sociospatial patterning of dementia suggests its development is a lifelong process involving cumulated and heterogeneous lived experiences embedded in place
Neoliberal Capitalism, Older Adult Care and Feminist Theory
Classic feminist social theory highlights the exploitation of women’s labor in capitalist societies traditionally through an examination of how housework and childcare is perceived and organized, excluding an explicit analysis of older adult care work. In light of the surge in the demand for older adult caregiving over the last several decades, this paper uses older adult care work as a new lens to understand how gender, and its intersections wit…
Help When You Need It
To promote the financial capabilities of student loan borrowers, practitioners must understand the experiences and needs of borrowers across the life course. A national survey ( n = 1,874) conducted by MIT AgeLab explored perceived loan-related effects across the life course and sources of advice for borrowers. Across age groups, repaying student loans had most regularly imposed negative perceived effects on multiple domains of borrowers’ financi…
Student Loans at the Dinner Table
With student loan borrowing becoming an increasingly common experience in U.S. households, it is crucial to understand the interpersonal manifestation of education debt within family systems. This study sought to understand how accruing and repaying student loan debt for one’s own higher education relates to family dynamics and communication within families. Leveraging Family Communication Patterns Theory, this study asked: How do student loan bo…
Mothers, Fathers, and Student Loans
As college costs rise in the United States, many parents are forced to make difficult decisions about how to pay for their children’s higher education. Stress and conflict accompany financial issues and play a role in the financial picture for many families. Using Hill’s (Hill, Social casework 39:139–150, 1958) ABC-X model of family stress as a framework, this study describes results of a national survey of parents contributing to student loan pa…
Ireland and Masculinities in History
The Palgrave Handbook of Masculinity and Political Culture in Europe
Clothing and Poverty in Nineteenth-century England
Clothing the Poor in Nineteenth-Century England is a genuinely original intervention in historical scholarship, and in questions of the plight of the poor in the long nineteenth century in England, which it examines through the paradigm of clothing, its availability, and its social and cultural significance. Vivienne Richmond's book is cultural and social history at its best. Her empirical focus on clothes, and the culture and economy of clothing…
Mark McCormack, The Declining Significance of Homophobia
John Addington Symonds (1840–1893) and Homosexuality
The book brings together for the first time John Addington Symonds' key writings on homosexuality, and the entire correspondence between Symonds and Havelock Ellis on the project of Sexual Inversion.
What is Masculinity?
Across history, the ideas and practices of male identity have varied much between time and place: masculinity proves to be a slippery concept, not available to all men, sometimes even applied to women
Masculinity and Male Homosexuality in Britain, 1861-1913
Masculinity and Male Homosexuality in Britain, 1861-1913
PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: This important book is part of a new generation of historical research that challenges prevailing arguments for the medical and legal construction of homosexual identities in late nineteenth century Britain. Sean Brady demonstrates that British society could not tolerate the discussion necessary to form medical or legal concepts of "the homosexual". The development of masculinity as a social status is examined, for its in…
