A New Typology of Out-of-School Youth Sports in 21st Century America: The Contrasting Organizational Logics of “Sport-Focused” and “Sport-for-Development” Programming Under Neoliberal Conditions
Out-of-school youth sport in the United States is bigger, more varied, and more impactful than ever before. In dialogue with existing scholarship, this paper uses multisite, collaborative fieldwork to identify core elements of program variation and develop a composite typology of this organizational field. The typology is based on a distinction between “sport-focused” programs and programs oriented toward nonsport social and developmental goals. …

Racial Discrimination and Mental Health among Asian Americans during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating health, economic, and social effects on people throughout the American society. At the same time, racism spread alongside the virus. As China was blamed for COVID-19, Asian Americans became targets of prejudice and discrimination. In this study, we document the racism experienced by Asian Americans during the pandemic and explore its link to mental health. Using the National Couples' Health and Time Study…
Race, ethnicity, and the incorporation experiences of Hmong American young adults: Insights from a mixed-method, longitudinal study
Through the lens of racialized incorporation, this paper draws upon three decades of surveys and interviews to analyze the initial experiences of young adult Hmong migrants in the United States. The first part describes the aspirations and understandings of these young adults as adolescents (circa 1989-1994). Early in resettlement, they, like their parents, stressed education and mobility; however, in contrast to traditional assimilation theory a…
Parental Assistance, Negative Life Events, and Attainment During the Transition to Adulthood
Responding to the longer and more variable transition to adulthood, parents are stepping in to help their young adult children. Little is known, however, about the extent to which parental support promotes success, and whether parental support has different effects for young adult sons and daughters. Using longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study, we find that parental scaffolding assistance for educational expenses predicts college gra…
Safety Nets and Scaffolds: Parental Support in the Transition to Adulthood
Using longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study (analytic sample N = 712), we investigate how age, adult role acquisition and attainments, family resources, parent-child relationship quality, school attendance, and life events influence support received from parents in young adulthood. Parental assistance was found to be less forthcoming for those who had made greater progress on the road to adulthood, signified by socioeconomic attainme…
Intergenerational Family Relations in Adulthood: Patterns, Variations, and Implications in the Contemporary United States
Recent research suggests that intergenerational relations—the relationships between adult children and their parents in particular—are becoming increasingly important to Americans. Two main social forces appear to be driving these changes: marital instability and broader demographic shifts. Intergenerational relationships involve both affective ties and more instrumental forms of support such as financial resources or child care. Although actual …
Welfare and Citizenship: The Effects of Government Assistance on Young Adults' Civic Participation
Recent scholarship and public discourse highlight an apparent waning of civic engagement in the United States. Although the welfare state is generally thought to support democracy by reducing economic inequality, it may paradoxically contribute to political disempowerment of some groups. We examine the effects of state interventions on civic participation among young adults, hypothesizing that involvement with stigmatizing social programs, such a…
Family capital and the invisible transfer of privilege: Intergenerational support and social class in early adulthood
Sociologists have long recognized the relationships between family background and social class attainment. However, by neglecting the multiple ways in which families and parents provide advantages and the extent to which these advantages extend into adulthood, they may still be underestimating the role of families in the reproduction of class inequalities. This chapter explores these impacts under the conceptual rubric of family capital. A new ba…
Mothering for the State: Foster Parenting and the Challenges of Government-Contracted Carework
This article draws on ethnographic research with a nonprofit foster family agency to examine how payment affects caregivers'motivations and performance, as well as how state bureaucratic organization and professional supervision affect their carework. Findings suggest that contrary to conventional thought, economic interests and altruistic motives coexist for foster mothers. Although monetary compensation is a concern for these mostly working-cla…
