Sociology and Studies of Gender, Caregiving, and Inequality
This review focuses on scholarship that illuminates the ties between gendered care and persistent gender inequality. After an overview of work on gender and care across the disciplines, it examines sociologies of care and suggests how sociology might further enrich research and theory in this area. I explore the areas of work–family intersection, state care policy, and the organization of paid care work. I argue that the sociology of caregiving n…
Market Friendly or Family Friendly? The State and Gender Inequality in Old Age
Gender, Friendship and
The subject of gender and friendship links two fields of sociological scholarship. Gender was rarely a salient theme in pioneering studies of friendship, communities, and social networks that emerged in anthropology and sociology in the 1960s.

For the most part, the sociology of gender and friendship has explored how differences i…

Work Commitment and Constraint Among Mothers on Workfare
This article reports the findings of a study of single mothers who are mandated to participate in workfare programs. It examines how low-income single mothers become involved in paid work and how the structures of their personal lives and their strategies of parenthood in low-income urban environments shape their economic action. Interviews with workfare participants show how single mothers view their economic field of action and how they interpr…
The Proximate Contexts of Workfare and Work
This article provides a framework for examining how the conditions of urban, low-income, single motherhood and the resources available through personal networks shape mothers' conduct in work-welfare programs. It suggests how research on welfare programs ignores work-family linkages and misses the ways economic action is embedded in social structures and communal constraints. Three rubrics of proximate context, referring to personal networks, urb…
Does Workfare Work? Evaluation Research and Workfare Policy
The passage of the Family Support Act of 1988, mandating workfare for recipients ofAFDC, appears to have been influenced by a firm of program evaluation researchers. This paper examines the organization's research and presentation of findings to account for the unusual prominence of policy experts in the welfare policy domain. Evidence in this case suggests that effective mobilization and deployment of resources through interorganizational networ…
