Gentrification down the Shore
Taking the Heat: Women Chefs and Gender Inequality in the Professional Kitchen
Deborah A. Harris and Patti Giuffre set out to answer the question: How is it that women—the gender most commonly associated with food and cooking—have lagged so far behind men in professional kitc
Introduction: The Need for Gender-Targeted Workforce Development Initiatives
The United States entered one of its deepest recessions in the late 2000s—workers faced jobs that were not coming back, long-term unemployment, and increased economic insecurity. These severe problems emphasize the need for government workforce initiatives. Yet investments in comprehensive employment and training policies have declined in real terms by nearly 70 percent since 1979. This article discusses this evolution, with a focus on the persis…

Emerging Intersections: Race, Class, and Gender in Theory, Policy, and Practice
Gender (in)equity in the academy: Subtle mechanisms and the production of inequality
High-Touch and Here-to-Stay: Future Skills Demands in US Low Wage Service Occupations
Interactive service occupations, requiring face-to-face contact, are rapidly growing in the US as they are typically not susceptible to larger trends of off-shoring and computerization. Yet conventional paradigms of understanding the nature of that work, and in particular the skill demands, are often ill equipped to deal with the 'interactive' aspects of these gendered and racialized occupations. As a result, discussions of lower-end service occu…
Voices from the past, lessons for the future: Learning from the history of sociology in government
Purpose As academic fields increasingly turn to social action and seek partnerships with groups beyond the academy, so too are we looking for guidance. Rural sociology developed out of applying research to social action and within this field was a unique unit. The purpose of this paper is to present a history of the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life, which was part of the US Department of Agriculture from 1919 to 1953 was a pioneer in ap…
Women's Lives and Poverty: Developing a Framework of Real Reform for Welfare
The historic 1996 welfare reform is typically regarded as a successful public policy. Using the limited success metric of "reducing welfare rolls," welfare evaluations and analysis have obscured the lived experiences of recipients, particularly among women, who are disproportionally represented among welfare recipients. While it is true that welfare numbers are down, those women who have been forced off or left behind are not doing well. In this …
Introduction to the Special Issue
The Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare has hosted a number of special editions since President Clinton "ended welfare as we know it." Special topics such as Evaluation of TANF in 2001, Coping with Poverty in 2006, Globalization and Social Justice in 2007 and Contemporary Social Welfare History earlier this year brought attention to issues of critical concern within the field. All have focused on human well-being in the wake of a society that…
