▼ The availability of the Internet has become increasingly easier to adolescents due to technological advancements. Children are not only susceptible to predators in parks, shopping malls, and playgrounds but cyberspace as well. An increasing number of adolescents have access to smartphones and tablets allowing their susceptibility to become a cyber victim to increase as parental control may not be present. The purpose of this research was to examine the role of the Internet in the sexual exploitation of children. What are the methods predators use to prey on children? How does the child’s behavior play in their susceptibility to being seduced? What is the role of the education system to protect children? The Internet provides unlimited opportunities for educators to expand on their teaching methods and provide additional knowledge to students. However, security measures are lacking as well as knowledge on the potential dangers of the Internet. Education systems are not mandated to implement Internet safety courses into their curriculum as many educators themselves have a lack of knowledge on the subject. Many parents also have a lack of knowledge on Internet safety and feel that their children may be more tech-savvy, making Internet safety conversations more difficult. This allows a child the opportunity to utilize the Internet unsupervised, as many parental controls can be bypassed. A lack of Internet safety knowledge by authority figures, leaves many children susceptible to predator’s manipulation skills. The manipulative behavior a predator has on a child may even go unnoticed by educators and parents unless steps are taken to communicate with the child and the role of the education system to protect children should be to keep children safe while online. Implementing parental controls, mandatory policies and guidelines in school system’s and taking a lead role in the child’s life is imperative on whether a child is preyed upon by predators: Keywords: Education system, Professor Chris Riddell, Educators, Predators, Online, Internet Safety.

5. Lopez, Mauricio. The Incorporation of Nicaraguan Temporary Migrants into Costa Rica's Healthcare System: an Opportunity for Social Equity?.

▼ This dissertation explores the incorporation of Nicaraguan migrants employed temporarily under the Costa Rica - Nicaraguan Bi-national Agreement (BNA) into the Costa Rican healthcare system. Its draws on insights from the literature on citizenship and migration, particularly Linda Bosniak's notion of alienage and Lydia Morris' concept of `civic stratification.' Exploring the social construction of alienage for different categories of migrants in three institutional domains (namely, the migration law, social security protections, and the healthcare provisions), the analysis presented in the dissertation reveals complexities depending on both the type of migrants and the institution in question. Non-citizens, such as legally employed temporary workers are granted some membership entitlements in each of these institutional domains; yet, they are excluded from others. Overall, this partial membership tends to reproduce vulnerabilities and dynamics of exclusion. Furthermore, even though legally employed temporary workers in host societies are granted certain benefits, at times policy makers and service providers tend to ignore the differences between these migrant workers and other migratory categories (such as `illegal' migrants) and consequently deny benefits to all migrants regardless of their status . This dissertation makes a contribution to the literature on citizenship and migration by illustrating how policy making, particularly with respect to certain categories of migrants, is a `messy' process, based on incomplete knowledge, mistaken perceptions, and unclear assumptions. The analysis reveals how the extension of benefits granted to these aliens is based on a precarious migratory status configured around their market price and a non-permanent affiliation to the host society. As a result, they are slipping through a crack between old public healthcare arrangements designed to protect national citizens, and the promotion of flexible practices for employers requiring a foreign workforce. Beyond the official government rhetoric, the BNA reaffirms traditional notions of citizenship, based on national membership not suited to protect temporary migrants. As a result, migrants get only partial coverage under the public social security and healthcare systems. In addition, the special needs of these migrants are largely ignored. These exclusions leave legal temporary migrant workers unprotected and vulnerable. Advisors/Committee Members: Basok, Tanya (Sociology and Anthropology).

▼ This study aims to specify the mechanisms by which sociolegal control affects group solidarity in two localities of urban marginality in Israel-Palestine: the Mahatta, a segregated Palestinian district in Lod, an Israeli "mixed" city, and the Jalazon refugee camp in the West Bank, only 20 miles from Lod. This research contrasts two distinct social morphologies: internal cohesion in the Jalazon camp and atomization in the Mahatta district. It also highlights the opposition between feelings of trust and pride in the camp and feelings of distrust and shame in the district. Both localities have internal lines of division. In the camp, there are divisions on the basis of place of origin, clan membership and political affiliation. In the urban district, there are divisions on the basis of ethnicity and oldtimer/newcomer status. Yet, Jalazon camp dwellers actively work to deactivate potentially paralyzing fractures, to develop and preserve internal solidarity, prevent or quench camp infighting, and purse collective actions while symbolically investing in the camp as a source of dignity and pride. By contrast, in the Mahatta district, residents experience social fragmentation, mutual distrust, and routine violence and blame one another for their failed attempts at collective organizing. I explain these different profiles of group solidarity, moral worldviews, violence, and politics as products of their distinct regimes of sociolegal control. By "sociolegal control," I mean the control exercised by the institutions of the ruling power and enshrined in its legal norms and dominant discourses. I argue that the Jalazon camp dwellers navigate a regime of sociolegal control that has (unintended) collectivizing effects while the Mahatta residents negotiate their existence against a regime of sociolegal control that has (mostly intended) divisive effects. There is a triadic structure of authority at work in the refugee camp, which includes the Israeli army, the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) and the Palestinian Authority (PA); camp dwellers are pushed by all three to valorize their group solidarity as a fundamental resource to both nourish from within and defend collectively against external threats. In contrast to the processes in play between Jalazon refugees and the authorities that influence their solidarity in the camp, the Israeli state's security apparatus is the only institutional actor at work in the Mahatta district, and I argue that it serves to create social fragmentation and mutual suspicion among the urban residents, thus pushing them towards strategies of individual exit.This study has a threefold relevance for theorizing mechanisms of group solidarity among marginalized populations in their connection to the role of the state as a "group maker." First, I propose that a given state can distribute different techniques of control towards different segments of a population cast or kept outside of the sphere of official or full membership. This focus on the state's distribution of forms of sociolegal…

▼ Food sovereignty is an alternative development model that values local, sustainable food systems. The national and international social movements that promote food sovereignty do so on behalf of small peasant farmers, whom they claim practice sustainable production for local consumption. Scholarly and activist discourse associates peasant and indigenous groups with environmental protection and resistance to globalization. Yet, doing so creates an essentialist image of this historically marginalized ethno-class that obscures contemporary market integration. Drawing on six months of field research with indigenous peasants in the highlands of Ecuador, this dissertation argues that the environmentalist goals of the food sovereignty movement do not reflect the lived realities of small farmers. Comparing quinoa, broccoli and dairy farmers with heterogeneous production practices and market links, this study finds that indigenous peasants want to supply the global market. Based on their negative experiences with local market intermediaries and positive experiences with export organizations, feeding fellow Ecuadorians is not a widespread ideal. In addition, respondents defend their reliance on agro-chemicals and imported inputs as necessary for their livelihood. Those who practice sustainable production methods do so in order to access a certified organic and Fair Trade export market that offers a better price. For these indigenous peasant farmers, on the ground, livelihood security is more important than environmental ideals. The food sovereignty tenets that resonate most with community members are the redistribution of resources and government investment in the small farm sector. As a continuation of the classic struggle for agrarian reform with a new environmentalist cloak, the food sovereignty movement must not lose sight of its economic justice roots. Initiatives to improve the global industrial food system through local, sustainable agriculture must also create viable livelihood options for poor communities of color.

▼ This dissertation investigates the historical emergence of wife-beating laws in the United States. The key questions I investigate are: What were the social conditions in which wife- beating laws emerged in the nineteenth-century South? What do these conditions reveal about the primary functions of these laws? Based on analysis of 19th-century legal and government data, local and appellate case records, federal reports, Freedman’s Bureau documents, periodical data, and family records, I argue that Southern wife-beating laws were a white supremacist post-Civil War response to the legalization of black family formation. They functioned to control black labor and degrade the status of blackness.My research challenges conventional accounts about the historical origins of U.S. domestic violence legislation. Since the proliferation of early wife-beating laws (1870-1900) coincided with first wave feminism, scholarship assumes that they were the result of feminist agency and borne out of a desire to protect women. These assumptions have led to two important limitations in domestic violence scholarship. First, most scholarship focuses on the North, where first wave feminism flourished. Second, even when research considers the effects of other social factors, such as race and class, it foregrounds the effects of feminist agency. Both limitations are troubling because the first state to legally rescind a husband’s right to chastise his wife was Alabama, whose 1871 Fulgham v. State ruling was also the country’s first in which the litigants were black. In fact, anti-wife-beating laws proliferated throughout southern states where, like Alabama, there was neither a feminist movement, nor female collective action against wife-beating. By the early 1900s, the ideological association between wife-beating and black families was so pervasive that denying “wife-beaters” the vote was a device some southern states used to disenfranchise black men.In contrast to the feminist narrative, I argue that southern anti-wife-beating laws were a postbellum response to the racialized and gendered convergence of the antebellum Master- slave and Husband-wife relationships. Antebellum socio-legal norms simultaneously advanced marital cruelty protections for wives on the one hand and encouraged the physical chastisement of slaves on the other. This ensured that the authority to beat slave women – to include de facto slave wives – was a specifically white male prerogative; and, it added physical chastisement to a long list of naturalized distinctions between blackness and whiteness. Emancipation exposed the fragility of ‘domestic relations’ – and thus the1southern way of life – by highlighting its dependence on racialized gender hierarchies. Wife- beating laws that threatened to punish black men, in the midst of socio-legal norms that kept black women vulnerable to white male violence, helped to restore a southern way of life that simultaneously controlled the labor and degraded the status of black families.The dissertation has six chapters.

▼ Across Europe, the 1960s to 1990s was a period of major economic transformation and change in the normative context of women’s work. This coincided with a series of dramatic demographic changes— including delays in marriage, potential increases in never-marrying, and “delayed adulthood”— in which individuals entered work and family roles at later ages. In contexts of macro-level economic change and increases in women’s work, Oppenheimer theorized that the relationship between individuals’ economic prospects and marriage had changed over this time, disproportionately affecting men with the weakest economic prospects and increasing marital inequality. The Theory of Social Stress and the Stress Process Model provide frameworks with which to understand how young persons’ delayed adulthood transitions may have a mental health consequence for their older parents who are instrumentally and emotionally involved in their lives. In three dissertation chapters, I empirically and comparatively explore these theories across a number of European countries. In Chapter 1, I utilize event-history techniques to investigate change over time in the relationship between individuals’ economic prospects and marriage timing for men and women born between 1938 and 1959. In Chapter 2, I investigate change over time in the relationship between economic prospects and ever-marrying for men and women born between 1938 and 1970. In Chapter 3, I explore if adult offspring’s delayed adulthood transitions are significantly associated with parental depressive symptomatology. Broadly speaking, I find support for these theories. With respect to marriage formation, my results suggest that marriage timing is a distinct phenomenon from ever-marrying. In Chapter 1, I find that in contexts where women’s work was normative from the 1960s to 1980s, men’s labor market standing was less important for marriage timing, while women’s labor market standing mattered for marriage timing. Men with weaker labor market positions experienced reduced likelihoods of marrying younger over this historical time in a number of countries. Moreover, my results suggest that country-specific labor market policies, rather than broad-sweeping economic instability, may better explain the changing relationship between economic prospects and marriage timing. In Chapter 2, and in contrast to findings for marriage timing, I find that men’s education is strongly important for ever marrying, regardless of gender equality levels across Europe. However, similar to findings for marriage timing, gender equality appears to matter for the economic underpinnings of ever-marrying among women. Also similar to findings for marriage timing, men with the poorest education experienced absolute reductions in their prospects for ever-marrying from the 1960s to 1990s. Change in the relationship between economic prospects and ever-marrying is only observed in countries that experienced dramatic macro-level change with the end of communism. In Chapter 3, I find that delayed adulthood does have a…

▼ AbstractFood Fight! National Policy, Local Dynamics, and the Consequences for School Food in the U.S.by Helena Carrillo LysonDoctor of Philosophy in SociologyUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor Laura Enríquez, ChairSkyrocketing childhood obesity rates in the U.S. have helped fuel mounting public concern about the health and well-being of America’s children. Efforts to address childhood obesity have increasingly targeted improvements to federal school food programs. Such programs provide critical nutrition to hundreds of thousands of children, including many low-income, minority youth who have been disproportionately affected by obesity. In particular, the landmark 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) marked the first substantial changes to federal school food policy in recent years, including stricter nutritional requirements for all foods served in schools. In addition, a growing, grassroots farm to school (FTS) movement, which seeks to improve student access to and consumption of fresh, healthy foods, has taken hold in cafeterias throughout the country. It is against this backdrop of dramatic changes to federal policy and widespread school food reform efforts that this dissertation explores how both top-down federal policies and bottom-up, local dynamics have affected the nature and quality of school food programs at both national and local levels. More specifically, this mixed methods project 1) quantitatively examines the effects of federal legislation and state-level sociopolitical factors on school food environments across the country as measured by the prevalence of FTS programs; and 2) qualitatively explores how local-level school food program implementation dynamics affect the outcomes of these programs in two case study school districts in California. Based on a variety of data sources, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s inaugural Farm to School Census, the quantitative analysis tests key hypotheses from the policy diffusion literature related to the impact of federal policy and state-level sociopolitical arrangements on the prevalence of FTS programs across the states. My results highlight inequities in state-level implementation of school food programs based on economic affluence, underscoring the need for increased federal funding to poorer states in order to subsidize the cost of FTS programming. The qualitative component of the project draws on 15 months of interview-based and participatory fieldwork in two large urban school districts resulting in a deep understanding of the nuances of local school food program dynamics and outcomes. Building on theories of neoliberalism and privatization from political and economic sociology, and extending sociological theories of social movement activism, I find that opposing operational structures of federal school food programs – privatized vs. self-operation – play a key role in setting local-level priorities for the meal programs on the ground. In particular, privatization effectively discourages schools from exploring the sourcing of…

▼ Historically, race scholars have characterized the American racial order through a black/white duality. Due to growing numbers of Latinos, Asians, other immigrant groups and multiracial people in the United States, the American racial hierarchy is in transformation. When their place in the racial hierarchy is considered, Asian Americans are frequently placed closer to whites than blacks, due to their elevated status through educational and economic attainments compared to other minority groups. In an increasingly global culture and marketplace, examining Asian American participation in hip-hop—a genre represented as predominantly black in mainstream society—allows me to explore relationships that are not often foregrounded in the public eye, nor in the academic literature. I use an intersectional lens to examine how Asian American women and men who participate in hip hop culture negotiate gendered and racial stereotypes and hip-hop’s hypermasculinity. This research explores the racial dynamics in hip-hop through interactions between Asian-Americans and blacks, in an arena on the margins of society where blacks seemingly hold the highest position of the hierarchy as hip hop artists. The research contributes to understanding the racial location of Asian Americans vis a vis the black/white duality. The study draws off 23 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) hip-hop participants. The findings reveal that respondents construct hip-hop as a liberating space where they can circumvent limiting racial and ethnic stereotypes. However, an intersectional lens reveals the constraints that hip-hop’s hypermasculinity places on AAPI men as well as the ethnosexualized expectations that AAPI women must negotiate. The experience of AAPI men and women in hip-hop due to their unique position in racial and gender hierarchies interacts with stereotypical notions of AAPI people in wider society to relegate these participants to the margin rather than center of hip-hop culture. Thus, I find respondents’ constructions of hip-hop less an indicator of hip-hop culture’s openness than a statement of how constricting the mainstream U.S. culture is for AAPI Americans, rendering hip-hop’s conditional acceptance preferable by comparison.

▼ This dissertation explores how individuals meet and mate in the 21st Century. Technology has always influenced the way we date, but meeting a partner online is increasingly common. I employ a mixed methods approach to understand the complex online dating space. Using three unique data sources, I explore how facial attractiveness, gender, and third parties structure online dating interactions. In chapter one, I examine the influence of facial attractiveness and demographic factors on initiation and response behavior on a match-based online dating site. I also influence whether the context of the online dating site, match-based, influences traditional dating scripts. I use data from an online dating site to examine these questions. The results of this chapter indicate that facial attractiveness and demographic factors influence initiation and response behavior online.In addition, match-based sites help to diminish the effect of traditional dating scripts on initiation and response behavior online. In chapter two, I investigate how individuals negotiate the tension between romantic and prosaic love. I also examine whether the preferences individuals express during confidential focus groups and interviews matches what they express in publicly posted online dating profiles. This chapter uses data that have not been used in prior published work on online dating: online dating profile content and focus group and interview data. The results of this chapter indicate that a third logic, market, should be considered in the typology of love. In chapter three, I examine the involvement of third parties in the romantic partner selection process, specifically the involvement of mothers in the romantic lives of their children. The major question I would like to address in this chapter is how the dynamics of gender operate in the reproduction of family relationships. The results of the study indicate that mothers’ presentation of their children both in their profiles and in their correspondence with other mothers is based upon strategy.

▼ This dissertation investigates patterns of action and decision-making patterns by artists with cultural production industries. In particular, it explores how individuals navigate these uncertain, project-based fields, which are characterized by network forms of organization. Drawing from of five years of ethnographic research into stand-up comedians in Los Angeles, I crafted three chapters that examine participants’ decision-making and social organization. The first chapter covers the underlying processes and mechanisms for career development among artists. It introduces and defines the model of a layered career. In the case of stand-up comedy, individuals progressively move through three layers. Each exhibits its own distinctive organizational bases, challenges, interactional processes, relationship types, and rewards. While development involves one matriculating through layers, it also requires artists to maintain their participation in prior layers, because each is ideally suited for different aspects of practice, creativity, and social support. Careers in these contexts involve building a durable infrastructure rather than a simple passage through discrete statuses. The second chapter explores the informal enforcement of intellectual property rights in stand-up comedy. In particular, it focuses on inconsistent sanctioning of joke theft. I illustrate that enforcement is loosely coupled to the severity of a transgression and is more dependent to a comedian’s disharmonious status, especially the incompatibility between high commercial success and low peer esteem. Sanctions frequently emerge as a response to one’s history of boorish and disrespectful behavior or aloofness. The success of these claims, which heavily resemble scandal processes, depends on the reputations and statuses of relevant actors—particularly the accused transgressor, the moral entrepreneur behind them, and relevant third parties. The final chapter explains comedians’ high rates of persistence during middle and late-career stages, despite low and diminishing odds for stardom or optimal outcomes. I attribute this to this labor market assuming the form of a commitment trap. While most entrants have early exits, ambiguous feedback surrounding outcomes or prospects and the specificity of their investments lead aspirants to persist. Taken together, this dissertation illuminates core processes and mechanisms that apply to careers in cultural production industries and, in a larger sense, other forms of contingent employment.

▼ This dissertation is a multi-sited ethnography of the valuation of used clothing in Poland and the United Kingdom (UK), along one of the world’s major value chains of used clothing. The central question guiding this research is: How is used clothing made valuable? Economic sociology has long been concerned with understanding the workings of cultural logics of exchange and the social mechanisms that make economic valuation possible. Studies of valuation in economic sociology and neighboring disciplines are increasingly pragmatic and situated in concrete material contexts, focusing on the constitutive use of material devices and infrastructures in the production of value. This dissertation focuses on the objects of exchange, how they are produced, and what role those material-semiotic objects play in relations of exchange, evaluation, and value production. Data are drawn from participant observation, in-depth, semi-structured interviews with key informants, and informal interviews in sites of collection, sorting, and retail in the UK and Poland. Analysis is informed by theoretical approaches to commodities, gifts, and waste from economic sociology, anthropology, human geography and Science and Technology studies. Four empirical chapters trace the movement of used clothing from donation through resale. In UK charity shops, commodities and gifts are produced alongside each other in competing assemblages. The wholesale market for collected textiles produces commodities by balancing value production with concerns of waste production. In the Polish retail market, sellers must produce knowable and desirable commodities from heterogeneous things. Polish consumers judge the quality and value of used clothing in material encounters. In each of these spaces, used clothing is made valuable through its material and symbolic production as gifts, commodities, and waste. This dissertation contributes to economic sociological studies of commodification and valuation with a discussion of the valuation of heterogeneous, non-standardized goods. This is the first research carried out on the global used clothing industry in an Eastern European country and in a country that is a major re-exporter of used clothing.

▼ In November 2003 the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court sent issued a controversial ruling in favour of same-sex marriage in Goodridge v. Massachusetts Department of Public Health. In the decade preceding the Goodridge decision, the majority of US states had passed Defense of Marriage Act statutes, barring recognition of same sex marriage, and in the years following Goodridge many states passed constitutional amendments to define marriage between one man and one woman. What sets Massachusetts apart from the rest of the United States on this issue? Through the analysis of Massachusetts newspaper reports, archival material, and interviews with lesbian and gay movement leaders, this dissertation explores the social and political factors in Massachusetts that enabled this state to emerge without a Defense of Marriage Act in place, to win a legal battle to establish legal same-sex marriage, and to fight off attempts to establish an amendment that would have overturned the Goodridge decision. Evidence indicates that 1) cultural and demographic factors facilitated the early emergence of a lesbian and gay rights movement in Massachusetts, 2) throughout the 1970's and 1980's activists gained strategic capacity and cultivated elite and grassroots allies, 3) by the 1990's the victories of the lesbian and gay movement established policy legacies and contributed to cultural change in favour of lesbian and gay people and families, and 4) during the struggle for same-sex marriage in the 2000's activists successfully drew on the accumulated strategic skills, allies, and resources amassed over decades of movement activity to not only win same-sex marriage rights but to defeat several attempts by opponents to overturn legal recognition of same-sex marriage. This study illuminates the interaction between culture, structure, and agency and underscores the critical importance of engaging political structures, employing broad-based cultural tropes, and making informed strategic decisions to advance movement success.

ABSTRACT Casino Development and the Right to the City: Conflict and Community Place-Making in Philadelphia John E. Balzarini Temple University, 2013 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Anne Shlay This dissertation focuses on the right to the city and community conflict over casino development in Philadelphia. Community outrage erupted in 2006 following the selection of two casinos to be built in Philadelphia. Sugarhouse Casino was planned for construction in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood and Foxwoods Casino was planned for South Philadelphia neighboring the Society Hill, Queen Village and Pennsport communities. For a brief time between 2008 and 2009, plans to develop the Foxwoods Casino moved downtown to Philadelphia's Chinatown community. This dissertation explores the framing of community needs, vulnerabilities and conflict over casino development in each of these three communities and how these framing strategies were used as a foundation for expressing community power. I use a variety of data in this dissertation including in-depth content analysis of the local Philadelphia media, sight observations of casinos, anti-casino actions and town hall meetings. The most important data for this research comes from twenty-nine, one-on-one, semi-structured interviews with a variety of people involved with or knowledgeable about casino development in Philadelphia including anti-casino activists and community members, pro-casino community members, local political officials and their aides, and casino advisors and representatives. A number of ideas and themes are explored in this dissertation dealing with casino development, neighborhood power and the different ways in which community members framed casino development. In chapter three I analyze the debate between casino supporters and casino opponents over the outcomes of casino development for urban regions and residents. If, as many casino supporters claim, casinos attract people from outside a region to spend their money, then I argue the casino has succeeded in attracting revenue to the region in a pattern of neoliberal revitalization. If, on the other hand, casino development fails to attract many visitors from outside a region and relies primarily on local consumers, I argue the casino operates as a form of accumulation by dispossession where wealth is diverted from the locality to the casino and the state. I argue that as more casinos are developed in Pennsylvania, and indeed across the country, the likelihood that a casino is reliant on a localized population increases. If casinos fail to attract consumers from outside a region then no new economic stimulation is achieved. Instead, consumer spending is diverted from other local businesses and directed to the casino. This coupled with increases in gambling addiction have the net effect of harming a regional economy. These new problems created by development of convenience casinos will create new social and economic crises that states and municipalities will need to deal with in the future.…
