CSDE Seminar - Life Course Dynamics of Gendered Racism and U.S. Black Women’s Health- Christy Erving
Speaker: Christy Erving, Sociology, University of Texas - Austin
Abstract: Recently, scholars have attempted to bring voice to Black women’s interpersonal experiences with gendered racism by developing measures that capture their intersectional oppression. Missing from this small, but growing, literature is the nuance of life course dynamics which suggest that Black women’s gendered-racialized discriminatory encounters could differ in content and frequency at different points in their life course. Moreover, the strategies Black women employ to cope with gendered racism are potentially differentiated by their age and birth cohort. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, this presentation will examine the various strategies Black women deploy to cope with gendered racism and the psychological health impacts of gendered racism across the life course.

Speaker: Ann Chih Lin, Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan
Abstract: In the forty years since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), no significant reform to the structure of immigration law has made it through the U.S. Congress. Yet during those forty years, how immigrants enter the United States, where they come from, where they settle, who employs them, and how they adapt to American life have all changed dramatically. During the same time, a shadow state of immigration regulation has developed, based not on statutory law but on precedents, executive action, federal agency guidance, and state and local policy entrepreneurship. None of these provides a stable legal structure for immigrants, their families, their employers, or their neighborhoods and communities. In Let States Select Immigrants, I argue that states – rather than the federal government or individual employers -- should govern immigration selection, basing their decisions on economic development…

CSDE Seminar - Moving Toward a GCC-Model of Temporary Worker Migration?: Lessons from Qatar on the Formalization of Labor Precarity - Natasha Iskander
Speaker: Natasha Iskander, Wagner School of Public Service, New York University, Abstract: With the rightward turn of governments in migrant-receiving countries, policy approaches to labor immigration have shifted from an emphasis on labor market integration to the punitive enforcement of controls against migrant workers who are undocumented or otherwise out of status. These hardline policy approaches have sharply augmented the precarity of an already precarious workforce, but in the context of increasingly tight labor market conditions, they have also cut against employer investment in workforce development and worker retention. To address industry concerns, many governments are quietly developing temporary migrant worker frameworks to import the labor that many industries depend on. These proposals aim to provide migrant-dependent sectors with a labor force that sufficient but deportable, building the precarity that drives down working conditions into the policy structures governing migration. But in doing…

CSDE Seminar - Paradoxes of Childlessness in Two Divergent Family Contexts - Holly Hummer
Speaker: Holly Hummer, Sociology, University of British Colombia
Abstract: In our era of low fertility rates, much research has examined the role of macro-level context in enabling or constraining individuals’ reproductive and parenthood decisions. Yet, we know less about the role of context in shaping what it means to remain childless—a historically stigmatized status—today. This presentation draws on in-depth interviews with 157 non-mothers in the U.S. and Japan to examine if and how individuals without children experience and evaluate childlessness differently by country. When analyzed in comparative perspective, women in Japan were more likely to frame childlessness as increasingly normalized and justifiable via entrenched gender inequalities whereas women in the U.S. were more likely to emphasize the socially isolating and publicly contested nature of childlessness, often drawing on moral logics to then justify their non-motherhood. To contextualize these narrative divergences, I offer two mechanisms…
