(Dr. Michelle Alexander, Professor of Law, OSU)
9:00 - 10:20, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT As the United States celebrates the nation's "triumph over race" with the election of Barack Obama, the majority of young black men in major American cities are locked behind bars or have been labeled felons for life. Although Jim Crow laws have been wiped off the books, an astounding percentage of the African American community remains trapped in a subordinate status—much like their grandparents before them. Michelle Alexander provocatively argues that we have not ended racial caste in America: we have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the principle of color blindness. In her book, Alexander challenges the civil rights community—and all of us—to place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America (Publisher's description).

- 04/22/2011: The Invisible Weight of Whiteness: The Racial Grammar of Everyday Life in America."
(Dr. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva)
12:15 PM - 1:30 PM, 35 Psychology BuildingABSTRACT We recognize “black” movies and T.V. shows - as such, but not “white” movies and T.V. shows. We think we know what Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are all about, yet never ponder what Historically White Colleges and Universities - like the Ohio State University, Duke University, University of Wisconsin, Harvard University, and most other colleges and universities in the United States – are about. In this lecture, Professor Bonilla-Silva will argue that racial domination necessitates grammar to structure all sorts of everyday race-related transactions as "just the way things are." By normalizing these important aspects of white rule, domination is rendered invisible and a non-issue. Professor Bonilla-Silva will make his case with disparate data and will argue vigorously about the importance of recognizing and fighting this important component of white supremacy in contemporary America.
- 04/15/2011: Maternal Union Status and Change in BMI During Early Childhood
(Dr. Kammi Schmeer)
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT This study informs current family and health research by using longitudinal Fragile Families data and change models to assess how change and stability in maternal union status are associated with changes in children’s BMI between ages 3 and 5. Change in BMI during early childhood is a particularly important outcome, since increasing BMI during this stage of childhood (the “adiposity rebound” period) may increase the risk of later obesity in childhood and adulthood. Results indicate that children whose mothers entered a new union had lower (i.e., healthier) changes in BMI than those whose mothers dissolved their unions, were stably cohabiting or were stably single. Moderating effects of maternal weight status were found, indicating that the worst case scenario for children was to live with an overweight single mother. The best predicted outcome among children in these “fragile families” was for those whose normal weight mother entered a union, suggesting a benefit of new post-birth maternal unions for children’s BMI.
- 04/13/2011: Identity-based Motivation: When Small Interventions Can Have Big Effects
(Professor Daphna Oyserman, University of Michigan)
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT Children want to do well in school and attend college, but their actual attainment often lags behind. A number of studies suggest that social structural factors influence the aspiration-achievement gap, in part, by influencing children's perceptions of what is possible for them and people like them. This presentation outlines the theory of identity-based motivation (IBM, Oyserman, 2007, 2009a, 2009b) which conceptualizes the processes underlying this macro-micro interface to help children successfully grapple with constraints imposed by social structural variables. To test the efficacy of the IBM model for intervention it was tested in experiments and randomized trials in public schools in the U.S. (e.g., Detroit, its environs, Chicago) and internationally (France, Israel). The IBM model assumes that identity is multifaceted and dynamically constructed in context. People interpret situations in ways that are congruent with their currently active identity and prefer identity-congruent actions over identity-incongruent ones. This further influences the interpretation of any difficulties they encounter: when the behavior is identity congruent, experienced difficulty highlights that it is important and meaningful; when the behavior is identity incongruent, the same difficulty suggests that it is pointless and "not for people like me." These perceptions have important downstream effects on important behaviors including in-class disruptions vs. engagement, time spent on homework, standardized test scores and grades in school. As theoretically expected, feeling that school success is identity-congruent fosters behaviors that can reduce the aspiration-achievement gap. Experimental manipulation parallels naturally occurring effects found when tracking impact of racial-ethnic self-schemas over time.

- 11/12/2010: Development Aid in a Global Society
(Lindsey Peterson)
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT The aim of this project is to examine the patterns of development aid flows over time. Most work on aid flows are cross-sectional, and focus on donors separately. By using the full set of Development Assistance Community donors and recipients I can chart the matrix of aid flows across time, demonstrating that countries wax and wane in importance to donors. Development aid decisions are not made in a vacuum, or even as a simple cost/benefit analysis. Instead, the process of giving and receiving aid is a social one. I argue that the best way to look at how aid affects development is to take a more global approach to the entire system of aid. This requires a networks approach to thinking about aid, which I analyze in 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000. Using a constant sample of countries I find that the relationship between number of donors and total aid given is not a perfect correlation, and that recipient countries receive fluctuating amounts of aid over time.

3:30 PM - 5:00 PM, 248 Townshend Hall - 10/22/2010: “Well, What Did You Expect?: Parenthood, Life Course Expectations, and Mental Health”
(Dan Carlson)
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT Although past research indicates that teenage and premarital childbearing negatively affect mental health, little is known about the role of individual expectations in shaping these associations. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, I consider how individual expectations for the sequencing and timing of first births, measured prior to the entry into parenthood, shape mental health outcomes associated with premarital childbearing and age at first birth. I also examine whether the role of expectations varies by gender and race/ethnicity. Results indicate that expecting children before marriage ameliorates the negative mental health consequences of premarital first births and that subsequently deviating from expected birth timing, either early or late, results in increased distress at all birth ages. In both cases, however, the degree and manner in which expectations matter differs by gender and race/ethnicity. Expectations for premarital childbearing matter only for African-Americans’ mental health and although later than expected births are associated with decreased mental health for all groups, earlier than expected births are only associated with decreased mental health for women, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic whites.
- 10/15/2010: Why Don’t They Just Get Married? The Impact of Union Formation on Change in Body Mass Index among the Socially Disadvantaged
(Rhiannon Kroeger)
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT Sociologists have long examined the impact of union formation on health outcomes. Generally, these studies have shown that unions are beneficial for health. This positive association of marriage with health has been used to garner support for policies promoting marriage, especially among low-income single parents. If marriage is not as beneficial for health, however, among members of marginalized social groups, then such aims at marriage promotion may be misdirected. For example, despite the overarching view that marriage is always good for health among much of the academic community, as well as government efforts to promote marriage within society, there is evidence that the benefits of marriage are highly dependent on a range of factors, including marital quality, well-being prior to the union, age at union formation, and whether partners involved in the union are of the same race/ethnicity. Despite knowledge of some sources of heterogeneity in the health benefits of marriage, it is surprising that sociologists have given so little attention to the idea that personal relationships include both rewards and costs that both positive and negatively influence health, and that the relative balance of these is socially patterned. A primary focus of my dissertation research is the identification of moderators of the relationship between union formation and health that have received little attention in past research. Here, I focus on changes in body mass index (BMI) following union formation, and examine variations in this process by race/ethnicity and individual/neighborhood-level socioeconomic status. My findings indicate that, although everyone on average experiences an increase in BMI following union formation, disadvantaged and marginalized social groups (e.g. respondents living in disadvantaged neighborhoods, respondents with low socioeconomic status, and black respondents) experience larger increases in BMI following entry into marriage than do their nonmarginalized counterparts. These results support the body of research suggesting that marriage is not universally beneficial for the health of all individuals or all health outcomes. These results are especially interesting because they indicate that, while the benefits of union formation are often diluted among the socially disadvantaged, the negative consequences of union formation for BMI are exaggerated among the socially disadvantaged.
- 10/08/2010: The Gender Gap in Higher Education: Developing a Theory of Global Variation
(Anne McDaniel)
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT In recent decades, a dramatic shift occurred in higher education throughout the world such that women now enroll in and complete more education than men in the majority of countries. This study develops and tests a theory that considers the influence of cultural norms and institutional structures on the gender gap in higher education. This theory of women's global advantage in tertiary enrollment is the first to elucidate the complex causes of women's advantage in higher education throughout the world. Using OLS regression on a dataset of 127 countries, I find that cultural norms in a society, especially those related to linkages to the world polity, gender ideologies, and marriage and family norms, influence women's share of tertiary enrollment. The institutional structures of a country, specifically the educational, economic and political systems, also impact the gender gap in enrollment in higher education. My findings explain how the constraints women face in terms of the cultural norms and institutional structures in their society shape women's advantage in tertiary enrollment.
- 10/01/2010: “Infant Health and Early Life Chances: A Race Story”
(Jamie Lynch)
12:30 PM - 1:30 PM, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT My research is focused on explicating the role of health and education in social stratification. Using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Birth Cohort, this presentation will emphasize the central role of poor infant health as a mechanism in the formation of early educational disparities. I find that the varying prevalence of poor infant health across racial/ethnic groups explains a significant portion of the black disadvantage and a moderate portion of the Asian advantage relative to whites in math and reading skills at age four. Moreover, poor infant health proves to be an equal opportunity offender across social groups as children with poor health are equally disadvantaged in terms of early cognitive development, regardless of racial/ethnic status. I will additionally discuss the efficacy of parental investment as a social mechanism linking poor infant health with educational inequality. In sum, I argue that health at birth has important consequences for individual educational achievement and racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive development and school readiness.

(Monica Trieu, SBS Diversity PostDoctoral Scholar )
12:30pm - 1:30pm, 248 Townshend HallABSTRACT Drawing from fifty in-depth interviews, this research expands on the linguistic and identificational assimilation literature by comparatively examining the role of ethnic language(s) on sub-ethnic identity formation through the lens of the 1.5 and second generation Chinese-Vietnamese American experience - with the Vietnamese American as a comparative group - and its implications on each groups’ identificational assimilation. By taking the intra-national ethnicity perspective, which is the examination of different ancestral origin group from a single nation from a twice-minority background, the findings reveal important nuances in how each group utilizes ethnic language knowledge to negotiate their ethnic self-identifications. For the Chinese-Vietnamese, ethnic language serves as the determinant of ethnic identity during early identity formation, whereas for the Vietnamese, ethnic language serves as a cultural bridge to reach the older generation. For both groups, ethnic language knowledge serves as a key factor in sustaining their ethnic and sub-ethnic identities.

(Tasleem J. Padamsee, Ph.D.)
3:30 PM - 5:00 PM, 35 Psychology Building 1835 Neil AvenueABSTRACT Despite their political, economic, and cultural similarities, the United States and the United Kingdom have responded very differently to HIV/AIDS over the past three decades. Focusing on the „special programs‟ each government devised to cope with HIV-related treatment, prevention, and research problems, I explore why these two liberal welfare states responded to similar challenges posed by the epidemic in such different ways. My analysis of key decision-making moments suggests that differences in policy timing, content, and longevity result from interactions among three sets of causal forces: existing social and political institutions; circulating discourses about HIV/AIDS, health care, and government activity; and the mobilization of policy advocates from outside of government. This research treats health policy as social policy in order to contribute to the broader theoretical project of reformulating welfare state theory to better account for processes and outcomes in the arena of health policy.

(Jill Bystydzienski, OSU Women’s Studies)
12:30 - 1:30P, 243 JournalismABSTRACT Professor Bystydzienski will discuss a 3 year NSF-funded research and intervention project she is conducting with colleagues from the University of Colorado-Boulder and Iowa State University. The project involves 130 high school girls with strong academic records in mathematics and science at 7 high schools in 3 states (Colorado, Iowa and Ohio) who took part in an after-school program to explore career possibilities in engineering. The preliminary findings contrast with recent claims in the media that young women know about engineering and choose not to pursue it because they “don’t want to,” and that federal policies to support their participation are no longer necessary and even harmful. The findings indicate that even interested young women are unlikely to pursue engineering in the U.S. because their college and career choices are deeply affected by overlapping educational, social and ideological processes that ignore or discourage engineering, thereby making actual choice moot.
- 05/08/2009: Racial and Ethnic Inequality in Suburbanization in U.S. Metropolitan Areas, 1970 to 2000
(Jeffrey M. Timberlake, University of Cincinnati)
12:30 - 1:30P, 35 Psychology BuildingABSTRACT This research examines trends from 1970 to 2000 in rates of suburbanization in American metropolitan areas across four large racial and ethnic groups. I investigate the extent to which group variation in suburbanization rates is related to the socioeconomic characteristics of groups and to the relative supply of housing in the suburbs, controlling for suburban shares of employment and affordable housing. I found some association between 2000 levels of suburbanization and group-level acculturation and socioeconomic status; however, these effects were largely attenuated by controls for suburban housing stock. I also found that changes in measures of spatial assimilation did not explain much of the variation in changes in minority suburbanization from 1970 to 2000. Suburban housing supply was strongly associated with 2000 levels of suburbanization; however, these effects were largely attenuated by controlling for the suburban share of employment and affordable housing. Finally, I found large effects of change in suburban housing supply on change in group suburbanization rates. These effects were much weaker for blacks relative to the other groups, and not nearly as attenuated by the suburban control variables as in the analysis of variation in 2000 suburbanization rates. I conclude that minority suburbanization has been driven primarily by a national-level trend toward suburbanization, but that this trend has operated somewhat differently for members of different racial and ethnic groups.
- 04/17/2009: The Roots of Gender Inequality: Biological, Social - or Biosocial?
(Joan Huber, Professor Emeritus, OSU Sociology)
12:30 - 1:30P, 243 JournalismABSTRACT Scholars agree that women’s secondary status has been universal for all of human history but there is no consensus as to why. The dispute is most heated between the so-called “narrow” evolutionary psychologists (EPs) and social constructionists (SCs): Are the roots of gender inequality biological or social? Narrow EPs think that all humans form macro-social structures around gender owing to sex differences in bio-behavioral predispositions that represent adaptations to Pleistocene ecology 1.8 million to 10,000 years ago. However, EP hypotheses are untestable, for little is known about human preferences then. SCs reject behavioral universals and see institutions and roles as purely social constructions. Yet, both camps focus only on statistical sex differences and ignore the categorical ones which, in humans, are solely of reproduction: No man can bear or child or (till after the 1880s) feed it the only safe food it could digest. Until science revolutionized infant feeding, women nursed infants every 15 minutes on average for two years then less often for another two, a nearly continuous cycle of pregnancy and lactation that barred them from warfare, politics, and law-making. Only in the twentieth century did they massively enter the public arena and men (carefully), the domestic arena. Human sex differences are much the same, but science has profoundly altered their social consequences. Thus human societies are bio-social.

Change in BMI during early childhood is a particularly important outcome, since increasing BMI during this stage of childhood (the “adiposity rebound” period) may increase the risk of later obesity in childhood and adulthood. Results indicate that children whose mothers entered a new union had lower (i.e., healthier) changes in BMI than those whose mothers dissolved their unions, were stably cohabiting or were stably single. Moderating effects of maternal weight status were found, indicating that the worst case scenario for children was to live with an overweight single mother. The best predicted outcome among children in these “fragile families” was for those whose normal weight mother entered a union, suggesting a benefit of new post-birth maternal unions for children’s BMI.

(Christopher Lyons, University of New Mexico)
9:00am - 10:20am, Room 217 Journalism BuildingABSTRACT Interest in “hate” crime continues to grow; yet we still know little about the etiology of racially motivated crime. This project joins a long tradition of Chicago-style research by focusing on the role of social organization in explaining variation in hate crimes against blacks and whites across Chicago communities. Drawing on six years of police reports, 1990 and 2000 census data, and survey data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN), I examine the relationship between racially motivated crimes against blacks and whites and community-level economic conditions, racial demographics, conventional crime rates, and social capital. I evaluate alternative hypotheses about the social organization of racial hate crime derived from social disorganization, resource competition, macrostructural opportunity, and defended communities perspectives. Multivariate negative binomial analyses controlling for spatial autocorrelation suggest different patterns for antiblack and antiwhite hate crimes. Consistent with an extended defended communities perspective, antiblack hate crimes, in contrast to general forms of crime, are more likely in relatively organized, racially homogenous (white) communities with high levels of informal social control. Conversely, antiwhite incidents appear more numerous in racially heterogeneous and traditionally disorganized communities, especially those characterized by residential instability and high robbery rates. I offer some speculation for the different patterns by victim race, and discuss the implications of the results for criminological theory and research.

- 10/30/2009: Re-conceptualizing Victim Recantation in Domestic Violence Cases
(Amy Bonomi, The Ohio State University)
9:00am - !0:20am, 217 Journalism, OSUABSTRACT Prosecutors struggle with high levels of victim recantation in domestic violence cases. For years prosecutors and advocates believed that victims recanted because perpetrators overtly threatened and coerced them. However, this perspective offers an incomplete picture because it neglects other complex interpersonal dynamics influencing the victim's decision-making process. We use concepts from family systems and attachment theories to re-conceptualize recantation a complicated bi-directional, interpersonal process grounded in the intimacy needs of both partners. Specifically, recantation serves to alleviate both the victim and perpetrator's fears of being without each other, and also ensures that the victim and perpetrator will have future opportunities for working out their intimacy needs - even if working out these needs involves violence to do so. Significantly, this approach to recantation need not oppose the dominant approach, which prioritizes the coercive influence of the perpetrator but may, in fact, help to further explain that influence by situating it within a more comprehensive and complex interpersonal dynamic. Transcripts of telephone conversations of couples taped over the length of the perpetrator's jail stay at the King County Detention Facility in Seattle, Washington will be used to illustrate this re-conceptualization of recantation. Presenter's Academic Biography: Amy Bonomi (Ph.D. and M.P.H. University of Washington, 2004) is Associate Professor of Human Development and Family Science. Her current research focuses on the long-term health impacts of domestic violence, teen dating violence, and child abuse; processes associated with victim recantation in court-involved domestic violence cases; and legal and health interventions to reduce the occurrence of domestic violence. She is an associate faculty member in Ohio State University's Sexuality Studies Program and the Women's Studies Department.
