TEACHING EXPERIENCE

2012 – Present LecturerSchool of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago

Course: The Social Meaning of RaceThis course teaches students to think about race both as ideology, or a tool groups and individuals use to defend their own interests, and theory, a lens for understanding the social world. Students are expected to place their own thinking with social and historical patterns of racial discourse, analyze paradigms underlying racial discourse, understand race as a determinant of life-chances and life styles, and have the tools for analyzing the role of race in the life of social service agencies and social work practice. Revised and updated standard syllabus. Designed student assignments and grading rubrics, evaluated student performance, planned and delivered lectures, and led student discussion.

Course: Social Intervention: Policies and Programs, Core Sequence for first-year Masters studentsThis course is the first in a required two-quarter sequence for first year masters students that overviews contemporary social welfare policies with attention to their historical and philosophical foundations.

Course: The Education Crisis: Race, Poverty, and Urban Schooling This is an original course that explores the decades of research and reforms around the achievement gap, the persistent failure of urban schools, and the social, political, and historical contexts of today’s education crisis. It covers the most notable efforts, both successful and unsuccessful, to close the achievement gap in the last 60 years, the major policy debates around contemporary reform efforts, and evidence of successful reforms.

Therefore the course explores the logic of causal inference, the difficulties that arise when estimating causal effects in social research, and a variety of methods researchers use to estimate causal effects in both ideal and imperfect research settings. Designed course syllabus including reading list and course aims. Designed lecture content, student activities, student assignments and assessments, and grading rubrics.

2013 – present Principal InvestigatorSchool of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago African American Parental Socialization Messages and Practices with Toddlers: A naturalistic, longitudinal examination of parenting in high-risk environments

The purpose of this dissertation study is to contribute to a relatively small body of knowledge regarding the normal development of African American children living in high-risk environments. This mixed qualitative and quantitative, longitudinal study systematically explores, analyzes, and documents parental socialization messages and efforts to encourage the development of children’s social knowledge at ages 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months in a sample of urban, low-income African American families observed in multi-hour videos in their homes.

Conceptualize study and methods. Identify theoretical frame of study. Create coding manual. Participate and train graduate research assistants in data preparation and coding based on guidelines determined a priori in a coding manual. Execute test of reliability of manualized codes and mixed qualitative and quantitative longitudinal analytical methods including longitudinal analysis, bootstrap linear regression models, and qualitative theme analysis using Stata 11 and nVivo 9.0.

2011 – present Project Coordinator 2009 – 2011 Graduate Research Assistant

Principal Investigator: Dolores G. Norton, Ph.D. School of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago Children at Risk: The Infant and Child Development Project (ICDP)

The Infant and Child Development Project (ICDP) is a longitudinal, empirical effort to learn from urban, low-income African American families. The project followed families two days after the birth of the target children until children were 18 years of age. Drawing from an ethnographic approach, the project seeks to learn about the early environment and developmental experiences of children and the caretaking practices of families living in impoverished neighborhoods from the view points of the children and families being observed. The ICDP is currently collecting data from its final phase of follow-up interviews with target children who are now 30 years of age.

Supervise master’s level graduate research assistants in all current projects. Collaborate on design and implementation of final phase follow-up interviews. Coordinate data archiving project including the transfer of VHS videos to digital format and digitizing paper records. Collaborate on the analyses and preparation for two manuscripts in progress utilizing qualitative and quantitative methodologies to test reliability and optimize the rich longitudinal data. Methodologies include Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), Intra-Class Correlation, Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), and bootstrap linear regression and Sobel-Goodman mediation models in Stata 11.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

2007 – present Conditional cash transfers, migrant labor, and social movement organizing in rural Brazil

Conducted 26 months of ethnographic research on the household transformations that are accompanying Brazil’s shift towards social democracy. Research examines the household effects of Bolsa Família, the world’s largest conditional cash transfer (CCT) welfare program. Reaching nearly one quarter of Brazil’s population, Bolsa Família has achieved profound reductions in poverty and changed everyday economic interactions inside families. The program has also created novel challenges for Brazilian social movements. Research is based extended ethnography with people living in several villages in Northeastern Brazil, some of whom have mobilized as social movement activists. Quantitative methods are integrated into the research model, including a comprehensive economic census of regional households and the SRQ-20 and MINI instruments for mental health research. Funding:

2010 – 2011 Labor force participation by mothers in the US: The effects of child disability. (With PI Harold Pollack, PhD, SSA.)

Research examining the effect of child disability on mothers’ participation in paid employment. To carry out the project, a model of labor force decision-making inside the household was constructed. The issue was framed as an analysis of household economy. Research used Census 2000 long-form data and American Community Survey data. Key questions focused on the differences between mothers with different wage rates. Methods included logit/ probit analysis and the Heckman models. Results indicated greater reduction in hours by women with higher wage rates, but greater drop-out by women with middle-tier wage rates.

ETHNOGRAPHIC VIDEOS

2013 Cangussu, 16 anos and Vamos seguir sonhando (Cangussu, 16 years and Let’s keep dreaming).

Two ethnographic short films (approximately 10 minutes each.) Working with Brazil’s landless movement, I organized groups of adolescents in two land-settlement villages. The adolescents carried out trainings, selected issues of focus, and worked with me to film and edit videos that documented their social surround. Cangussu, 16 anos was prepared for the 16th anniversary of the land occupation that created Cangussu village, and it recounts the occupiers’ triumphs, disappointments, and dreams. Vamos seguir sonhando presents young people who push the adults in their village to answer difficult questions about youth, gender conflict, and hopefulness.

2012 Entre o cemitério e a cavalgada (Between the cemetery and the cavalcade. 63 minutes.)

I organized a group of adolescents in a land occupation as they filmed and edited an extended video that documented a difficult moment in their shared lives. The adolescents belonged to a set of landless families who, in 2010, occupied a giant plantation in the cattle-raising region of Maiquinique. After three evictions the families ended up in shanties, halfway between the cemetery and the horse arena on the edge of town. Dispirited and defiant, the adults gave a series of video interviews that were filmed by the young activists. The film intersperses scenes from daily life with landless farmers’ reflections on the reasons to stay in a struggle.
