Negotiating good motherhood: Foodwork, emotion work, and downscaling
Objective This study examined how lower‐income mothers engage in emotion work in order to feel like good mothers within broader contexts of stigmatization, economic insecurity, and precarity. Background Despite the pervasiveness of the intensive mothering ideology, research shows that lower‐income mothers in the United States also routinely diverge from the ideology's norms due to structural and cultural factors. In doing so, these mothers simult…
Caregiving in a Crisis: Mothers’ Parenting Experiences and the Persistence of Class-Based Parenting During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Mounting research has revealed how the labor of caregiving and parenting in the United States fell disproportionately to mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic, with negative impacts on mothers’ personal and professional well-being. Here, we advance this growing body of work by examining how mothers’ pandemic-related parenting and caregiving experiences differed across socioeconomic status. We ask the degree to which mothers’ class-based parenting …
The emotional management of motherhood: Foodwork, maternal guilt, and emotion work
Objective This study examined how college‐educated mothers emotionally manage the guilt they experience as they perform maternal foodwork. Background Maternal guilt is prevalent in the United States, as most mothers report feeling guilty about their inability to live up to the high standards set by intensive mothering. While research has shown that guilt pervades mothers' experiences, less focus has been paid to what mothers do about the guilt th…
Unequal foodwork: Situating the sociology of feeding within diet and nutrition disparities
Widespread inequities in diet and nutrition present a pressing public health problem. Sociologists working to illuminate the causes and contours of these inequities often center the role of family foodwork, or the multifaceted domestic labor that supports eating, including planning and preparing meals. Mounting sociological scholarship on foodwork considers how food's meanings are socially patterned to reflect broader social structures, ideologie…
Between a Rock and a Hard Place: Covid Concerns and Partnered U.S. Mothers’ Employment during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Shutdowns of in-person school and childcare in spring 2020 in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic were associated with substantial reductions in mothers’ labor force participation (LFP). By fall 2020, in-person school and daycare were more widely available, but mothers’ LFP remained as low as it was in spring. Coincidently, by fall 2020, daily COVID deaths had also began to peak. Using unique panel survey data from partne…
Predicting the Onset, Evolution, and Postgraduate Impact of College Activism
The topics of differential recruitment to activism and its longer-term impacts have generated substantial empirical research. Yet, the lack of longitudinal studies of movement participation have limited our understanding of individual activism’s dynamics over time. Here, we use six years of longitudinal survey data and two waves of interview data from a class of college students before, throughout, and after college to examine predictors of varia…
Obstetric gaslighting and the denial of mothers' realities
Occupying multiple stigmatized identities: Smoking and unemployment stigmas among the unemployed
Stigma - which involves stereotyping, discrimination, and status loss - is a central driver of morbidity and mortality. Given the de-normalization of smoking and the status loss of unemployment, unemployed individuals who smoke may occupy multiple stigmatized identities. As such, this study examined aspects and correlates of smoking and unemployment stigmas among unemployed job-seekers who smoke. Adult job-seekers who smoke tobacco (N = 360) were…
Integration of Tobacco Treatment Services into Cancer Care at Stanford
As part of a National Cancer Institute Moonshot P30 Supplement, the Stanford Cancer Center piloted and integrated tobacco treatment into cancer care. This quality improvement (QI) project reports on the process from initial pilot to adoption within 14 clinics. The Head and Neck Oncology Clinic was engaged first in January 2019 as a pilot site given staff receptivity, elevated smoking prevalence, and a high tobacco screening rate (95%) yet low lev…
You're worth what you eat: Adolescent beliefs about healthy eating, morality and socioeconomic status
Intentional Invisibility: Professional Women and the Navigation of Workplace Constraints
Drawing on an in-depth case study at a large nonprofit organization, we find, in line with previous scholarship, that women professionals continue to face biased expectations at work and at home. We leverage data from interviews and participant observation to identify a new strategy that women use to navigate professional constraints created by the second shift and workplace double binds: 'intentional invisibility.' Intentional invisibility refer…
A Taste of Inequality: Food's Symbolic Value across the Socioeconomic Spectrum
Scholars commonly account for dietary disparities across socioeconomic status (SES) using structural explanations that highlight differences in individuals' wealth, income, or location. These explanations emphasize food’s material value. But food also carries symbolic value. This article shows how food's symbolic value helps drive dietary disparities. In-depth interviews with 160 parents and adolescents and 80 hours of observations with four fami…
