CSDE Seminar - Occupations, Careers, and Opportunity: A Structural Approach to Studying Economic Mobility over the Life Course - Michael Shultz

Speaker: Michael Shultz, Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, University of Washington Abstract: A person’s work life is a major feature of the middle of the life course. A sociological approach focuses on how wages and other job rewards are tied to workers obtaining discrete positions. Consequently, the movement of workers between jobs and the work contexts of those jobs are primary explanations for inequality over the life course. The large number of possible transitions between jobs presents theoretical and methodological challenges. In this talk, I draw on several of my recent and ongoing research projects that use the 500 Census occupations to identify structural positions in the labor market and analyze occupational and wage mobility over the life course. Occupations are a meso-level unit of analysis that facilitates studying institutional job ladders, career continuity/discontinuity across job transitions, and changes in the availability and access to jobs associated with opportunity.

CSDE Seminar - The Hidden Private Safety Net: Shared Households and Older Adults' Housing Costs - Kristin Perkins

Speaker: Michael Shultz, Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, University of Washington Speaker: Kristin Perkins, Sociology, Georgetown University Abstract: Where U.S. public supports fall short of need, individuals often turn to the private safety net – instrumental support from family and friends. Although impacts of the public safety net are well-documented, less research considers how the private safety net shapes patterns of hardship. Focusing on the case of older adults’ shared households, this study demonstrates how the provision and receipt of private safety net support shapes housing costs and, ultimately, our understanding of the contours of the housing affordability crisis. Using Survey of Income and Program Participation data, we find that 15% of older adults are hosts, who share their home with others, and 6% are guests, who live in someone else’s home. Counterfactual estimates reveal that guests pay $713 less a month on housing than they would in nonshared housing, and hosts pay $53 more.… Event interval: Single day event.

CSDE Seminar - Gendered Dissent and Social Threat: Attitudes Towards Protest Repression in Colombia - Gabriella Levy

Speaker: Michael Shultz, Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, University of Washington Speaker: Kristin Perkins, Sociology, Georgetown University Speaker: Gabriella Levy, Political Science, University of Washington Abstract: What determines support for police restraint in times of social protest? Previous research shows perceptions of protest violence increase support for repression. We argue that protests violating social norms are also seen as less deserving of restraint— even when they pose no physical threat. Focusing on gender-related protests, we test this argument using a survey experiment in Bogot´a, Colombia, which like many cities in Latin America has repeatedly experienced women-led protests in recent years. Our results show that protests for LGBTQ+ rights and expanded abortion access reduce support for restraint compared to demands that are less threatening to the social order, even though perceptions of violence do not vary by protest goals. Non-violent protest tactics that violate tradi… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Parrington Hall (PAR).

CSDE Seminar - Infrastructures of Resettlement: How Bureaucratic Legacies Shaped Racial Disparities in Post-Cold War Refugee Selection - Jake Watson

After the Cold War, the United States shifted its refugee admissions program from a focus on anticommunism toward more humanitarian criteria, marked by greater need-based selection and distributional equity – including explicit efforts to increase African admissions. Yet the 1990s saw the US resettle roughly 300,000 Europeans and just 40,000 Africans despite comparably large displacement crises in Yugoslavia and the Horn of Africa. Why? While scholars explain such disparities through explicit racial preferences or geopolitical interests, I show t… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Parrington Hall (PAR).
