Crisis methods
This article describes how I developed crisis methods as I undertook a research project on spousal caregiving during the height of COVID-19 in 2020. Informed by longstanding feminist methodological concerns related to reflexivity, the starting point is that we all always begin our work from our own experience. However, because of the topic or context, our experiences both past and present can complicate some projects more than in others. For exam…
Parent-Child Grief Interactions
A young parent's death is an unexpected event that incurs family stress and grief for the surviving parent and young children. However, few studies have examined widowed parents' grief experiences and parent-child interactions following a co-parent's death. Guided by phenomenology, this qualitative study examined the lived experiences of ( N = 12) surviving parents grieving the loss of their co-parent. Data were collected using semi-structured in…
The Professional Is the Personal
Infant mental health (IMH) as an interdisciplinary field relies on relationships to heal past trauma and promote secure parent-infant attachment. Stress related to performing IMH work has gained more attention in workforce development/well-being literature. Yet, IMH workforce engagement in self-care practices to manage work stress is left unexplored. This qualitative investigation examines a purposive sample (N = 21) of clinical IMH practitioners…
Missing Pieces
Medical sociologists and sociologists of disability study similar topics but, because of competing or conflicting theoretical paradigms, tend to arrive at different conclusions, engage with different audiences, and pursue different directions for social change. Despite diverging trajectories over the past 20 years, however, there remains clear potential overlap between both subfields in the study of disability and untapped opportunities for cross…
They Told Me My Name
This article examines the process of deaf people coming to identify as culturally Deaf-a distinction typically made in the literature as an identity belonging to those who use sign language to communicate-and how this identity process co-occurs with other social identities, namely sexuality and race. Through pairing Goffman's work with perspectives from Feminist Disability Studies, we extend the sociological literature on both identity and disabi…

Mutual Exchange
Individuals with disabilities increasingly live at home. This study focuses on experiences of adult siblings (aged 18 years and older) in the United States who have a brother or sister with an intellectual/developmental disability. It is based on qualitative survey data ( n = 224). We coded narratives of siblings' experiences and identified themes, correlating themes with demographic characteristics. The major finding was that narratives of the y…
Made to Hear
"A mother whose child has had a cochlear implant tells Laura Mauldin why enrollment in the sign language program at her daughter's school is plummeting: "The majority of parents want their kids to talk." Some parents, however, feel very differently, because "curing" deafness with cochlear implants is uncertain, difficult, and freighted with judgment about what is normal, acceptable, and right. Made to Hear sensitively and thoroughly considers the…
Disability and Identity
Precarious Plasticity
This article provides an ethnographic account of pediatric cochlear implantation, revealing an important shift in the definition of deafness from a sensory loss to a neurological processing problem. In clinical and long-term therapeutic practices involved in pediatric implantation, the cochlear implant (CI) is recast as a device that merely provides access to the brain. The "real" treatment emerges as long-term therapeutic endeavors focused on ne…
Parents of deaf children with cochlear implants
The cochlear implant (CI) is increasingly used to treat deafness, despite arguments from the deaf community. Deaf children born to hearing parents are the fastest growing group of CI recipients, making parents the primary consumers. Instead of focusing on the controversy over implants, this article examines the clinical structures shaping parental decision-making and how parents integrate clinical practices into family and community. Observations…
