Mother-Daughter Work-Family Role Transmission: Effects on Daughters’ Work and Family Satisfaction
No full textThis study addresses the impact of intergenerational transmission on women’s work–family life. Drawn from the two-generation sample in the Youth Development Study, this study examines the effects of intergenerational similarity in working status, intergenerational communication, and social support on women’s work and family satisfaction. The study controlled for family of origin socioeconomic status, working hours, relationship duration, and number of children. The results show that intergenerational transmission of work–family configurations from mothers to daughters does exist in their general employment status, but the effects on women’s family satisfaction occur mostly through intergenerational communication. Additionally, social support from both work and family is found to have direct and indirect impacts on women’s work and family satisfaction. The findings can be used to advance a tentative model to examine intergenerational transmission effects and verify the importance of social support in promoting women’s functional outcomes at work and home
“We Can’t Breathe” An Analysis of George Floyd Square
No full textOn May 25th, 2020, George Perry Floyd Junior was murdered by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who knelt with his knee on George Floyd’s neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. In the wake of his death, millions across the world protested police brutality and the continued loss of Black lives. The epicenter of these protests originated at the community led and activated spontaneous memorial whereGeorge Floyd was murdered at East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, known as George Floyd Square. In this paper I address how Minneapolis community members created, maintained, and made use of a space in reaction to state sanctioned violence. Spontaneous memorials are created by tragedy and act as a response to collective grief. I contend that George Floyd Square has functioned as a community led and activated spontaneous memorial for over a year and a half. My research incorporates Ethnohistory and Anticolonial methodologies along with Critical Race Theory and Trauma Informed Care. I use these theories and methods in conjunction with ethnographic interviews of George Floyd Square community members and caretakers to better understand the gravity of this space. Additionally, I have created and analyzed a survey completed by visitors of George Floyd Square which contributes significant evidence in how visitors interpret George Floyd Square. Within this essay, I have discovered the many roles of George Floyd Square, the significance of its creation, and its functioning outside of typical government structures. This paper offers a significant contribution to the research of spontaneous memorials and activated space
