As always, we bring to the conference our best work and best ideas to share with our colleagues!Milwaukee is a beautiful and fascinating city. The Ojibwe and Potawatomi tribes, from whose languages the word “Milwaukee” likely originated, called it a “gathering place by the water.” Milwaukee was the hub of the socialist movement in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. The Historic Third Ward is home to over 450 businesses like specialty shops, restaurants, art galleries and theatre groups, and creative businesses. There is so much to see and do in Milwaukee, including Harley Davidson’s International Headquarters Museum, Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Breweries, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Pabst Mansion, the Milwaukee Riverwalk, The Safe House Restaurant at the Press Club, and the Grohmann Museum of Work, which houses beautiful paintings and sculptures of Americans on the job.I’m excited about the whole conference, start to finish, but here are some crucial events and highlights you won’t want to miss!Thursday evening – Silent auction and student poster sessionFriday morning– Breakfast plenary address by Dr. Sheldon-Ekland Olson from the University of TexasFriday – AACS Awards and lunchtime keynote address by William Julius WilsonFriday evening – Reception at the Press Club with light refreshmentsSaturday morning – Breakfast plenary address by Dr. Stephen Richards, a Convict Criminologist at U.W.

Continental breakfast will be servedSESSION GUIDELINESThis program lists all sessions and participants as of the date this publication went to print. Session numbers are final as are presentation room assignments, dates, and time slots. The session chair, presider, or organizer will serve as timekeeper, or designate another presenter to keep time. Panelists should agree beforehand to the time limits and leave a minimum of 10 minutes for questions. To facilitate people attending multiple sessions, presenters will present in the order listed on the program. Session chairs are asked to report the head count from their sessions to a representative of AACS at the registration desk.Fifteen to twenty-minute breaks occur between most of the scheduled sessions. This time is used to rearrange seating, clean rooms, set up equipment, and organize the next session. For sessions that run over, the discussion should be moved to a non-assigned area, the lobby, or other common area.You must register and remit payment to the AACS Conference Registrar to participate in the 2012 conference in Milwaukee. If you have not already pre-registered and pre-paid for the conference, you may register and remit payment at the registration desk. SESSION TYPESPaper Presentations: Provide attendees with contemporary research, useful case studies, and insightful evaluations of applied and clinical work that is performed in occupations in the academic and non-academic workplace and professional marketplace, using a traditional format of delivery that joins presentations of a similar theme.Roundtables/Short Sessions: Encourage attendees to participate with the session chair in sharing and discussing ideas, information and questions pertaining to a common topic. Roundtable chairs may provide information, and then facilitate discussion. Chairs select an issue and invite other conference participants working in applied, clinical, or academic settings to brainstorm, share ideas and discuss creative solutions. Works in progress, innovative teaching discussions, and interactive sessions for practitioners to discuss current issues in the field, and other formats are encouraged.Interactive/Long Sessions: Interactive projects, workshops, or paper sessions with many participants can be run as a traditional format of delivery that joins presentations of a similar theme or are run as interactive sessions with attendee participation. To maximize interaction, the length of the session was modified.Panels: Consist of applied and/or clinical sociologists who, as recognized experts in their fields or specialties, discuss the latest trends and developments in research, teaching, or practice. Open dialogue and exchange is encouraged.Posters: Visual displays of research or innovative practices/organizations that allow people to have one-on-one dialogues with you about your research. Poster presentations are typically easier to prepare and are well suited for works in progress and this is also a good opportunity for community organizations and students and faculty working in the community to present their work. SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Plenary and Keynote Addresses: Address salient issues that directly impact the conference theme. Conference registrants join together in a single, large assembly. Presenters draw on their substantive field experience and personal background, contributing to the discussion. AACS STUDENT PROBLEM SOLVING COMPETITION: RULES AND PROCESSESEach year AACS seeks to identify an organization in the community that has a specific problem that needs resolution. Once the client has been identified, information describing the client’s needs is posted at the AACS website, and via the listserv. After reviewing this information, teams are organized to work on solving the client’s problem. This successful program is used with permission by other sociological societies. This year our client is Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.Eligibility: Teams of students will work together to address the client's needs. A school can have one team, or multiple teams. The team can be comprised of all undergraduate students, all graduate students, or a mix of students. There are two to four students per team. A faculty member sponsors the team.Process: At the conference, the client will offer an informal presentation to introduce students to his/her organization, describing the organization's history, leadership, and needs. There is plenty of time for questions and answers at this session. During the conference, students attend sessions and seek out attendees who may have some insights into the problem. They are also encouraged to conduct other forms of research. Students can email questions to the client. Each team develops a written team report and presents it at the final conference session. The client and an evaluation committee listen to the reports, ranking them on a series of dimensions (see below). A winner is determined. Benefits: All students participating in the exercise gain sociological consulting experience which they should list on their resumes. The winning team receives discounted registration at next year's conference and the team advisor receives a plaque.Evaluation Criteria:Coverage of the questions described in the problem-solving description.Review of relevant sociological literature related to the exercise topic.Use of applied and/or clinical social research methods.Integration of theory and methods.Appropriateness of assumptions and solutions/plan of action. Creativity in addressing questions and providing solutions/plan of action.Discussion of solution/plan limitations. Overall quality of the report design and presentation.Ability to summarize the report in the executive summary.Clarity of analysis, writing, organization of ideas and presentation. Students meet and ask questions of the organization (client) at the Student Problem Solving Session I on Thursday, October 4 at 12:30 p.m. (Workshop 3). CERTIFICATIONCertification is a designation awarded to experienced professional sociological practitioners after a process of evaluation by sociologists within AACS. A certified member may then use a special designation as a Certified Sociological Practitioner (C.S.P.) in addition to his/her degree. To be certified, you must submit a portfolio representing your academic and practice background, current practice, and ethical positions. The portfolio must also include recommendations from people who know your work as a practitioner. A panel of three certified applied and clinical sociologists will review this material. If this panel agrees that the above factors would qualify you to gain this designation, you are invited to hold a certification demonstration at a professional meeting (e.g., AACS meeting or ASA). A similar panel reviews your presentation. If the majority of the panel agrees that your presentation (along with the portfolio) demonstrates that you are qualified as an applied or clinical sociologist, you are awarded certification.Who Is Eligible?Certification as an applied or clinical sociologist is open to persons with masters and doctoral degrees in sociology and also for those with interdisciplinary masters and doctorates whose course work and practice feature a strong sociological component.In What Areas May I Be Certified?Applied and Clinical Sociologists practice on multiple levels of focus. Areas of specialization include international, national, intercommunity, community, organization, other groups, family, and individuals. Major practice content areas include community development, conflict resolution, criminology/criminal justice, organizational development, gerontology, health, counseling, and social policy. Many sociologists have developed unique practices and the certification process can be accommodating within certain professional parameters. Your application, applied or clinical experience and certification demonstration must reflect the intervention areas that you specify. What Does It Cost?You must be a member of the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS). For certification, there is an application fee of $200 and a demonstration fee of $100. If you are certified, there is an annual $20 certification maintenance fee. You must attend an AACS annual meeting before you present your certification demonstration. Why Be Certified?Certification as an Applied or Clinical Sociologist indicates that your background, current practice, attitudes, ethics, and skills have been examined by certified professionals in your discipline. By awarding certification, AACS indicates that they believe you meet the standards of sociological practice as an applied or clinical sociologist. Certification may add to your credibility as a practitioner. It has helped some practitioners gain entrance to restrictive practice settings and routes to reimbursement. Certification indicates that you have met professional standards at a particular time. It is important to maintain and enhance your abilities by keeping up to date in your chosen areas of specialization. Moreover, the AACS code of ethics is an additional reassurance of proper behavior by certified sociological practitioners. Certification Is Not LicensureA state or commonwealth grants a license after successful passage of a bill in the legislature and signature of the governor. Gaining such passage usually requires a lobbying effort, a strong organization, supporters, powerful allies, and resources. Licenses are usually available in fields where it can be shown that unlicensed practitioners have the potential to do harm. Licensure can restrain use of titles, procedures, and employment. Over the years, there have been attempts to license sociologists, but none of these attempts have succeeded. Other licensed disciplines are usually opposed to licensure of others because of occupational pride and because they may believe it will limit their members’ income. Some practicing sociologists believe that a license in sociology would be economically beneficial, as managed care providers look for less expensive ways to provide services. Several states look on certification as a step to licensure. On the other hand, some states are sun setting licensure laws. What Is Applied and Clinical Sociology?Applied and Clinical Sociologists use sociological interventions, which apply sociological perspectives to the analysis and design of interventions for positive change at any level of social organization from the micro to the macro. An applied or clinical sociologist has a strong background in social theory and the variety of sociological methods. This knowledge of theory and method is the basis of applied and clinical work. The orientation of applied and clinical sociology is both interdisciplinary and humanistic. For further Information, attend sessions 10 and 38 (there may be others) or contact: Deborah L.

These opportunities include a wide range of situations from corporate interactions to Tribal consultation.? Drawing upon my experience in this field, we will candidly discuss successes, disappointments, and lessons acquired from my practical application of a sociological skill set.? Participants will have the opportunity to describe their own experiences regarding the ways sociological training influences their daily interactions and professional research goals.? Interactive exercises will be used to encourage participants to think beyond textbook definitions, applications, and theories so as to enhance their ability to view the world through a sociological lens.Workshop 212:30 – 2:30Lakeshore BBUILDING ON THE EDGE: GRADUATE STUDENTS, PART-TIME FACULTY AND INSTRUCTORS CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITYOrganizers and Facilitators:Catherine Willis, University of Wisconsin, MadisonDadit Hidayat, University of Wisconsin, MadisonRandy Stroeker, University of Wisconsin, MadisonThis workshop is facilitated by two graduate students, who, like many part-time faculty and instructors, work to create community based research (CBR) opportunities for students with the community, while also managing the temporality and uncertainty of their positions. We feel that this is a position of both strength and weakness for maximizing community impact, creating engaging opportunities for students and supporting our own career development. In this workshop we will explore the strengths of this position as well as the challenges that we face while developing strategies to overcome these. This will touch on a range of themes. As community based researchers, we carry specific connections to communities and community organizations, each of which holds potential for student learning and community impact. How to develop awareness, community relationships, and institutional knowledge that can help us turn these possibilities into reality, especially on short notice? The uncertainty around our temporality could certainly undermine partnership continuity. How do we strategically invest our time in establishing a strong partnership with community? And in what ways this partnership should be maintained?As we do this work, we need to think also of our own work and professional development. Having established community partners that we work with is an asset to any institution that might be hiring us. How do we leverage this in our careers? How do we manage these commitments and the opportunities that we are creating without undermining our ability to manage our time?Workshop 312:30 – 2:30Lakeshore CJudith Little Student Problem Solving Competition Kick-Off SessionOrganizers and Facilitators: Mike Hirsch, Huston-Tillotson UniversityPamela Jenkins, University of New OrleansSteve Lyng, Carthage CollegeWayne Younquist, University of Wisconsin, WhitewaterStudent teams enrolled in the Judith Little Problem Solving Contest will meet with a representative from the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom to learn what the nature of their problem. The rules and the timetable governing the completion will be shared during this workshop. Student teams will then be set free to attend workshops and sessions that will assist them in solving the problem as well as conduct web research.

Texas Homeless Network (THN) annually assists communities with their Point-In-Timehomeless survey including preparation, data analysis and report creation. As the Continuum of Care has grown (now covering 205 of Texas’ 254 counties), the burden of this effort has become too great at THN’s current staffing munities have come to rely on the information gathered from the annual count to assist in the development of short and long-term strategies to alleviate homelessness. The data is important for securing additional funding and as an advocacy tool. In order to provide each community with a timely report, THN partnered with Professor Grace Fleming and herIntroduction to Sociology Class at Austin Community College. The students were able to provide the assistance and hours necessary to enter data provided by over 3,000 people experiencing homelessness and run statistical analysis. As a result, THN was able to provide reports for 20 communities.Texas Homeless Network is a non-profit organization that relies on grant funding and membership to achieve its mission. This workshop will offer examples of organizational and networking strategies that have made THN successful in its 24 years of existence.Workshop 63:00 – 5:00Lakeshore CADDING FUTURING AND FORESIGHT TOOLS TO YOUR APPLIED SOCIOLOGICAL TOOL BOXOrganizer and Facilitator:Stephen F. Steel, Institute for the Future@Anne Arundel Community CollegeWhether you want to include futuring and foresight in a client workshop or you want to build a course on the future to add to your sociology offerings this presentation provides practical "how-to" information.? Organizations that operate in a vacuum, ignoring the increasing velocity of change in the global community, will not succeed for long. Driving forces are challenging by their nature and will confront organizations of all kinds. In this workshop consultants and educators will discover methods and tools that can be practically applied to their academic or corporate environment. Participants will learn how to engage and create futures by using foresight tools from backcasting to scenario building. Participants will actively utilize the tools.Workshop 74:00-5:00Gilpatrick AIMPROVING RACIAL FAIRNESS IN THE COURTS THROUGH APPLIED SOCIOLOGYOrganizer and Moderator: James H. WiestPanelists:Elizabeth Neely, Nebraska State Bar AssociationAnne Hobbs, UNO Juvenile Justice InstitutePanelists will discuss the growth in opportunities for justice system research and how the work of applied sociologists is used to improve justice system processes and practices, with a particular focus on improving access and fairness for racial and ethnic minorities.? Panelists will briefly highlight four recent studies including:? assessing the over representation of minority youth in a state’s juvenile justice system; understanding the experience of recent African refugees involved in the justice system; evaluating court’s efforts to reduce the prevalence of failure to appear as a means of reducing the overrepresentation of minorities in jail populations, and evaluating the impact of legislation meant to improve the extent to which juries are representative of the communities that they serve.Thursday, October 4, 20126:00 – 9:00 p.m.WELCOME RECEPTIONSILENT ACTION STUDENT POSTER DISPLAYHor d’oeuvres and cash barPOLARIS ROOFTOP RESTAURANT MILWAUKEE HYATT REGENCYUnderwritten by Daniel’s Catering & Lorene Hirsch Agency, LLC – American Family Insurance STUDENT POSTERSPoster TitlePresenters“An Evaluation of a Bullying Prevention Program”Kristina Cappello, University of Tampa“Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders: Comparative Analysis of At-Risk Women at National versus Local Level”Sandra L.

Nedilsky, North Park UniversityDoing it our way often means satisfying the desire of sociologists to see their knowledge applied for real life,demonstrable effect. Plainly put: it’s about professional agency. North Park University’s Sociology Practicum course has forged partnerships to work with a similar yet distinct principle: it’s about partner agency. For the past nine years this qualitative methods course has joined in partnerships in the City of Chicago and beyond in order to give students, parents, and educators a chance to do sociology their way by learning from the field, developing projects of significance and service, and identifying ways to sustain the impact of those services. Most recently, North Park University’s Sociology Practicum has drawn together in partnership with New Horizons Charter High School of Shorewood, Wisconsin and William G. Hibbard Elementary School of Chicago.This panel brings together five representative partners –two teachers, two students, one community member—in the tradition of public sociologists whose conviction to do things their way is the foundation for each one’s citizen formation and academic success. Rather than individual presentations, this panel will enable discussion and critique through first a focus-group exchange on the concept of citizenship. Next, a round-table model of sharing will reveal the connections, inspirations, and deviations a partnership based on “doing it our way” enables. Finally, the citizenship lessons of JaneAddams will be enhanced as the concept of citizenship is demonstrated and then expanded to include individuals whose age may make them ineligible to vote but not ineligible to lead.

How can such a course be designed that prepares graduates for their future and gives them new opportunities while avoiding redundancy, myth, and ceremony (Meyer and Rowan 1977)? ?This workshop details the experiences of University of Tampa (UT) Sociology faculty in designing such a course, focusing upon the knowledge, skills, and affect that UT Sociology graduates are expected to learn in order to become successful.? Workshop attendees will be encouraged to answer for themselves critical questions of design, while illustrating from the University of Tampa experience. The workshop will be of interest to those interested in building or refining their own Department’s capstone course. J. W. Meyer & B.

Collaborate, learn, and be inspired with new ideas during this facilitated discussion with attendees sharing applied ideas for the classroom. Teachers, what activities have connected well with your students? What did your "favorite:" professors do that inspired you, or that you still remember? Are there questions about teaching applied sociology that you’d like to discuss with a group of applied colleagues? Are there resources or training available that you think would be as useful to others as it has been to you? Is there a great freebie technology you know about that works well in the classroom? Things that did not go well that serve as good lessons for others? Students, you’re also invited to come help shape your own classroom experience. Contribute what you have found to be the most meaningful, interesting, or useful applied activities to learn sociology, or what your own ideas are for teaching and learning applied sociology. There’s no formal set of presentations – just plenty of discussion and sharing of creative ideas on innovative teaching and engagement for undergraduate students.

Wall, Buffalo State College Public Achievement, a national youth initiative of the Center for Democracy and Citizenship at Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, is designed to educate young people to become engaged in the larger society. Young people work in teams, and, with the help of coaches and stakeholders in the community gain a sense of democracy and public work. This initiative, grounded in theory and history of politics, provides participants the opportunity to define a community problem, work in a diverse group, map the political environment, develop problem solving strategies, and evaluate their work. The success of Public Achievement is not limited to elementary and high schools; the application of the initiative can be found at colleges and universities, not-for-profit agencies, health care facilities, and governmental agencies. The purpose of this interactive presentation is to describe the framework and core concepts of Public Achievement. Audience members will model the process of Public Achievement by taking on the role of team members. A public story will be created after identifying an issue, problem(s), and potential project(s).

What many different fields of study and professions like medicine, law, psychology, human resources and criminal justice have found is that there tends to be an institutional division which separates researchers from practitioners. EBP has been introduced in these areas in an effort to overcome or at least narrow the separation. For applied sociologists the issue of the gap between theory and practice, research and application and the gulf between academic tradition and the practical world, has been longstanding. In this session we explore this issue and the ways that EBP may help sociologists formulate a path in the liberal arts education setting that might connect more closely the academic context with the professional and practice experience.Panelists:Marvin Finkelstein, Southern Illinois University, EdwardsvilleLubomir Popov, Bowling Green State UniversityJerry Krause, Humboldt State UniversityStephen F.

The recognition of massage parlors as fronts for human trafficking is well established in the United States. Over 40% of all recreational massage parlors in Ohio reside in one northeastern Ohio County. Additionally an adjacent county, houses a well-known truck stop strategically located with access to interstate highways and turnpikes providing access to nationwide destinations. This session addresses a community response to the various facets of human trafficking, emphasizing the history, development, structure and actions of a northeastern Ohio formal community organization confronting these issues. MVOC is an innovative community organization utilizing a grassroots approach, recruiting leaders, providing training, developing creative collaborative strategies, and linking various institutions and agencies. Through employing various state, regional and local collaborative efforts, our session will present MVOC’s successes and continuing actions regarding massage parlors, law enforcement, rescue and restore, legislation and the truck stop. The recognition of MVOC by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office shows the extensive impact of the organization’s work. The following information from two news releases makes reference to the organization’s action area. Additionally The Attorney General telephoned the MVOC Director the morning law enforcement agents raided the massage parlors. News Release: August 3, 2012. On August 2, 2012 the Ohio Attorney General announced the first indictments on human trafficking of four Chillicothe residents who were under investigation by the newly formed Central Ohio Human Trafficking Task Force. The Attorney General stated, “My office created this unit because human trafficking is happening every day in this area, and we need to be proactive to fight it.” The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI), one of the units with the Task Force, is presently working with human trafficking task forces in northwestern and northeastern Ohio. Additionally they are presently examining data from the recently shut down massage parlors in MVOC’s area to determine if, or the extent to which, any human trafficking was taking place.

Auto-ethnography was developed by Carolyn Ellis as an “approach to systematically analyze personal experience in order to understand cultural experience…that challenges canonical ways of doing research…and treats research as a political, socially-just and socially-conscious act.” The panel aims to examine contemporary aspects of academic setting that are hostile to women, expose contemporary gender discrimination in academia, and suggest possible course of action or advise for female academics. We hope to start a sustainable online discussion through social media from this panel that will evolve into a collaborative global effort to reduce gender inequality in an academic environment.Panelists:Jammie Price, Editor, Journal of Applied Social ScienceMiriam Boeri, Kennesaw State UniversityJanja Lalich, Chico State UniversitySaturday, October 6, 201212:00 – 2:00 p.m.Lakeshore BallroomPRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS AND AWARDS LUNCHEONPresenter“Doing it Our Way!

Using classic ethnographic methods to access a hidden world behind the domestic suburban fa?ade, I discovered families divided by class and impoverished by the Great Recession. The women I talked with used methamphetamine to cope and sold it to survive. My exploration resulted in a book on the lives of these women. Examining the effects of punitive drug policy, inadequate social services, and looming public health risks (including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C), the book gives voice to women silenced by shame. Explained by contemporary social theories, their drug use behavior is shown as a social process. The in-depth stories illustrate the divergent pathways taken by the women, influencednot merely by choice but by structural constraints and limited resources. I end with six practical suggestions to more broadly implement successful initiatives that address the problems these women face. In this FORUM session, I will focus on the practical solutions more thoroughly with an open discussion from the audience. Members of the audience will be provided with a synopsis of the book, the solutions presented, and space to write notes. A survey rating the solutions for practicality, cost- effectiveness, and other suggested solutions and comments will be provided and collected at the end. Members of the audience will be asked if they want to be part of a team of authors to (1) write articlesfor a special journal on solutions to drugs and poverty, or (2) write one article on solutions as co-authors for submission to the JASS.* This research was supported by funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse award numberR15DA021164.Concurrent Session 40Crystal RoomSession TitlePresentersLOOKING BACK: WHAT MY SOCIOLOGY INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE HAS MEANT TO MEOrganizer and Moderator: Mark Mantyh, University of Wisconsin, MilwaukeePanelists:Ashley Groh, Wisconsin Community Services - Operating While Intoxicated ProgramClint Herbert , Running RebelsEmily Reardo, Running RebelsJoanne Chaloub, Milwauke Metropolitan Fair Housing CouncilJohanna Moss, Wisconsin State Public DefenderSamantha Gonnering, Wisconsin State Public DefenderPanel of former interns enrolled in the UWM Internship in Sociology Program talk about their internship experience, and was that has meant for them since in terms of their world view and occupation/employment.Saturday, October 6, 20122:15 –3:30 p.m.Concurrent SessionsConcurrent Session 41Gilpatrick ASession TitlePresentersEXAMINING THE EVIDENCE II: APPLIED CRIMINOLOGY’S CRITIQUE OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM Organizer: Mike Hirsh, Huston-Tillotson UniversitySandra Jones, Rowan University Presider: Jennifer Farmer, Texas State University“No Way Out: Milwaukee as an Emblem of the Future of Corrections”Roger Guy, University of North Carolina, Pembroke“Building and Sustaining a Community: Response to Violence”Crystalee Crain, Peralta Community College District“Constructing the School to Prison Pipeline”Courtney R.

The case: In 2009, the public health department in Madison collaborated with two local universities and other community partners to initiate a unique violence prevention strategy in a low income urban neighborhood:the installation of vegetable gardens in the front yard of multi-unit rental properties. The objectives of the garden project were to beautify the neighborhood, promote the local production of fresh fruits and vegetables, provide employment for local youth and connect neighbors to one another – all in the hopes of building social capital among residents and, ultimately, reducing neighborhood violence. However, as a project initiated by “outsiders,” it has fallen short of its ultimate goal of empowering the community and building social capital, while at the same time remaining viable without substantial assistance from outside the neighborhood.After being presented with a sketch of the case parameters, characters and central conflicts, participants will be asked to consider possible avenues for maintaining the gardens through authentic and lasting forms of community engagement.The workshop will end with a presentation of actual choices and outcomes to date, followed by discussion of next steps.Presenters: Julie Whittaker, Edgewood CollegeTricia Egan, Edgewood CollegeSaturday, October 6, 20123:45 –5:00 p.m.Concurrent SessionsConcurrent Session 44Milwaukee ASession TitlePresentersPOTPOURRI“Clinical Approaches to Supporting Women’s Social Experiences in Retirement Communities.”Tina Quartaroli, University of Central MissouriDeborah Phelps, Fontbonne University“Parental in Context: The Role of Context and Perceived Control in Shaping Parental Aspirations for Children”Jennifer Hall, University of Chicago“Pride and Joy: African American Mothers’ Influences on their Professional Daughters’ Success”Denise A.
