Qualitative Descriptions of Middle-Class, African American Mothers’ Child Rearing Practices and Values
No full textDuring qualitative phone interviews, middle-class, mostly married African American mothers (N= 25) describe their child rearing responsibilities, practices, and values. They explain: (1) why they decided to stay home or take work leave to attend to child rearing, (b) how they divided child rearing responsibilities with their husbands/romantic partners, (c) whether they faced unique parenting challenges raising African American children, and (d) whether they identified as feminists. Responses revealed the decision to stay home or take work leave comprised values about gender roles, concerns about the cost and/or quality of child care, and the availability of family-friendly workplace policies. Most couples shared child rearing responsibilities, although mothers admit to doing more. Their unique parenting challenge was protecting their children from racism, stereotyping, and discrimination. Only one-third of the mothers identified as being feminists. These results have implications for furthering our knowledge about African American co-parenting from a positive, strength-based perspective.Peer reviewe
Elise Ayers Sanguinetti papers, MSS.0098
No full textAbstract: This collection consists of the correspondence, manuscripts and galley proofs, as well as reviews and notices of Elise Ayers Sanguinetti, the Alabama author of "The Last of the Whitfields" (1962), "The New Girl" (1964), "The Dowager (1968), and "McBee's Station" (1972). Although there are no special restrictions placed on access to the Elise Ayers Sanguinetti papers, literary and copyrights to her published and unpublished writings have not been granted to the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library and remain the property of the author. They may be viewed but not photocopied.Scope and Content Note: This collection consists of the correspondence, manuscripts and galley proofs, as well as reviews and notices of Elise Ayers Sanguinetti, the Alabama author of "The Last of the Whitfields" (1962), "The New Girl" (1964), "The Dowager" (1968), and "McBee's Station" (1972).The correspondence incluldes letters to and from her parents, Col. and Mrs. Harry M. Ayers (Edel Y.) of Anniston, Alabama, various other family members, agents and editors, as well as letters from friends and classmates. The correspondence is arranged by name and then chronologically. There are also letters of condolence to Elise Sanguinetti on the death of her father in 1964 and one on the death of her mother in 1977.The collection also includes typescript manuscript copies (with edits) and galley proofs of "The Last of the Whitfields," "The New Girl," and "McBee's Station." There are also clippings and photocopies of notices and reviews of all her novels. The clippings are arranged by the novel title. (There was no attempt made to arrange the clippings by newspaper or magazine or by date.)There is also a small group of books and essays covering various family histories and another small collection of various alumni and church publications. The group of photographs and negatives include a scrapbook covering Elise Sanguinetti's trip to California in January of 1945 to act as the Maid of Honor at the christening of the S.S. Anniston Victory (584 Anniston Victory, VC2-S-AP2).Biographical/Historical Note: Elise Ayers Sanguinetti was born January 26, 1926 in Anniston, Alabama, the daughter of Harry Mell and Edel (Ytterboe) Ayers. She attended Ashley Hall, a boarding prepartory school in Charleston, South Carolina before attending one year at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota followed by a summer session at the University of Oslo (Norway). She received her A.B. degree from the University of Alabama in 1946. In 1950 she married Phillip A. Sanguinetti, a chemical engineer from Norfolk, Virginia. They lived in Pennsylvania and Missouri before returning to Anniston.Elise Sanuinetti's father, Harry Mell Ayers, was a very strong influence on her career as a writer. Harry Mell Ayers was the owner, editor and publisher of The Anniston Star, and he held the belief that a newspaper should make an effort to improve the community. He was involved with many of the leading issues of Alabama and the nation and took an active interest in civil rights matters and improving education. Sanguinetti's younger brother, Harry Brandt Ayers was also a newspaperman and eventually became editor of The Anniston Star.Her literary career has included working as a reporter and feature writer for The Anniston Star, Anniston, Alabama and authoring several novels, including "The Last of The Whitfields" (1962), "The New Girl" (1964), "The Dowager" (1968), and "McBee's Station" (1971). She is best known for "The Last of The Whitfields", which was an expansion of her first published short story, "To You , Frere Twig", published in Mademoiselle magazine (1960). She wrote "Whitfields" while living with her husband in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania during the difficult, early years of the civil rights movement. "The New Girl," while not precisely a sequel to "Whitfields," it is a look at boarding schools and the trials and tribulations of being the "new girl" as told by Felicia Whitfield, who also narrated the story of "The Last of the Whitfields"
From Grade Schooler to Great Star: Childhood Development and the “Golden Age” in the World of Japanese Soccer
No full textThis chapter, by Elise Edwards, explores how, in its quest for success in the men’s FIFA World Cup, the Japan Football Association encourages parents to enroll preschoolers in its kids’ program to increase the number of children playing soccer and the quality of their training, emphasizes the importance of physical activity and play for children, and promotes the notion of a golden age between the ages of nine and twelve when the opportunity for physical development is said to peak. This popularizes a vision of a segmented childhood determined by age grades and developmental stages underpinned by a fear that Japanese children are in physical and psychological danger if they do not exercise correctly, with grave consequences for the Japanese state. Outdoor play and sport are essential for strengthening the national body, just as they were during World War II. The repetition and discipline required of soccer hopefuls mirrors the much-criticized educational system, which emphasizes excessive discipline and excessive competition and tethers childhood potential to adulthood success

Data from: Liming and spring salamander abundance

Elise Edwards, Brittany Mosher, Thomas Pauley, Shane Welch, Jayme L. Waldron. (2023) Data from: Liming and spring salamander abundance [Dataset] Cornell University eCommons Repository. https://doi.org/10.7298/0e1s-mm78Environmental acidification is affecting ecosystems around the globe, and as a result, managers are using limestone applications to mitigate the effects of acid rain and acid mine drainage. Limestone applications attempt to reverse acidification by increasing stream pH, however, studies assessing how liming affects species have shown mixed results. We examined the effects of liming on Gyrinophilus porphyriticus (the spring salamander) abundance. From June 10th to September 1st, 2013, we used multiple methods (i.e., leaf litterbags, visual encounter surveys, and area constrained flip and search methods) to sample spring salamanders within 11 different streams in the Monongahela National Forest, West Virginia. Using N-mixture models, which allow for estimation of abundance from count data and account for imperfect detection probabilities, we examined the effects of direct application liming (DAL) on spring salamander abundance and found that DAL and lime frequency had unexpected associations with spring salamander abundance. We found that a higher lime frequency resulted in lower spring salamander abundance, presumably due to the subsequent loss of spring salamander primary habitat when the hyporheic zone is filled. These results have and will continue to inform managers to the possible negative effects of high frequency liming on salamander communities and other stream organisms as well as inform adjustments that can be made to mitigate these impacts as a result of lime management
