  • Reproduction Reconceived

    Sonya MichelARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2024

    When Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973, feminists regarded it as a total victory: having unlimited access to legal abortion across the United States would, they assumed, finally give American women the reproductive choice they had been seeking. Sara Matthiesen begs to differ, contending that access to abortion alone does not give women full autonomy; they must also have the resources to make families, if that is their wish—resources that many, espe…

  • Eileen Boris & Jennifer Klein, Caring for America

    Sonya MichelARTICLEClio2019

    Bien que Caring for America ait fait l’objet de nombreuses recensions au moment de sa publication en 2012, ce n’est que maintenant, sept ans plus tard, que l’on peut saisir l’importance de son apport à la littérature sur le travail de care. Depuis une dizaine d’années, cette littérature s’étoffe, surtout dans les sciences sociales mais Caring for America s’en distingue par sa dimension historique. Eileen Boris et Jennifer Klein montrent que les c…

  • Gender, Migration, and the Work of Care

    Open AccessSonya Michel, Ito PengBOOKGender, Migration, and the Work…2017

    "This book explores how around the world, women’s increased presence in the labor force has reorganized the division of labor in households, affecting different regions depending on their cultures, economies, and politics; as well as the nature and size of their welfare states and the gendering of employment opportunities. As one result, the authors find, women are increasingly migrating from the global south to become care workers in the global …

  • Race, Ethnicity and Welfare States

    Pauli Kettunen, Sonya Michel et al.BOOKRace, Ethnicity and Welfare States2015

    In this interdisciplinary volume, leading and emerging scholars examine the relationship between homogeneity and welfare state development. They trace Gunnar Myrdal’s influence on thinking about race in the US and explore current European states’ approaches to the strangers in their midst, and what social citizenship looks like from a global perspective.

  • Race, ethnicity and welfare states

    Klaus Petersen, Pauli Kettunen et al.BOOKRace, ethnicity and welfare states2015

    Gunnar Myrdal's 'An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy' persuaded many scholars that the United States failed to develop a robust welfare state because of its ethnic and racial heterogeneity, and, conversely, that homogeneity was a precondition for the creation of strong welfare states in European, especially Nordic, countries. With increasing diversity now challenging these welfare states, the kind of 'dilemma' that Myrdal …

    Sonya MichelARTICLESocial Politics International…2015Cited by: 6References: 10

    For the past decade or so, the “social investment” paradigm has been sweeping policy debates across Western Europe and the United States, especially in the domain of Early Childhood Education and Care, where the ideas of economist James Heckman have been widely influential. This shift has led to a greater support for policies in this realm, but at what cost? This essay looks at earlier rationalizations for such policies in the United States and t…

  • All in the family? Migrants, nationhood, and care regimes in Asia and North America

    Open AccessSonya Michel, Ito PengARTICLEJournal of European Social Policy2012Cited by: 47References: 2

    If a ‘migrant in the family’ is the prevalent pattern of care work in Mediterranean societies today, what are the emergent patterns in other familialistic societies, and what factors are driving or impeding them? We address these questions by examining the cases of Japan, Korea, Canada, and the US. Our analysis shows that while care work patterns in all these four countries resemble those of the Mediterranean countries in their increased use of m…

    Gunilla-Friederike Budde, Karen Hagemann et al.BOOKCivil society and gender justice2008

    Civil society and civic engagement have increasingly become topics of discussion at the national and international level. The editors of this volume ask, does the concept of “civil society” include gender equality and gender justice? Or, to frame the question differently, is civil society a feminist concept? Conversely, does feminism need the concept of civil society? This important volume offers both a revised gendered history of civil society a…

    Why is the United States one of the few advanced democratic market societies that do not offer child care as a universal public benefit or entitlement? This book--a comprehensive history of child care policy and practices in the United States from the colonial period to the present--shows why the current child care system evolved as it has and places its history within a broad comparative context. Drawing on a full range of archival material, Son…
