SUMMARY:FEC Lecture Series: Diverging Destinies of Dads: Growing Inequality’s Impact on the American Family with Kathryn Edin
DESCRIPTION:Diverging Destinies of Dads: Growing Inequality’s Impact on theAmerican FamilyWith Kathryn\nEdin of Johns Hopkins University Register at http://feclecturenov4.eventbrite.com Kathryn Edin is one\nof the nation’s leading poverty researchers. The hallmark of her research is\nher direct\, in-depth observations of the lives of low-income women and men and\nis particularly interested in questions about the urban poor that have not been\nfully answered by quantitative work: How do single mothers possibly survive on\nwelfare? Why do they end up as single mothers in the first place? Where are the\nfathers and why do they disengage from their children’s lives? \nKathy is the author of six books and more than 50 journal articles. The\nmost recent\, Doing the Best I Can: Fathering in the Inner City\, written with\nTimothy Nelson\, will be published in May\, 2013 by the University of California\nPress.  A strikingly rich\, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among\ninner-city men\, who are so often dismissed as “deadbeat dads\,” Doing the Best I\nCan shows how mammoth economic and cultural changes have transformed the\nmeaning of fatherhood among the urban poor. The book reveals a radical\nredefinition of family life\, one that has revolutionized the meaning of\nfatherhood among inner-city men. \nIn the award-winning Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood before\nMarriage\, Kathy Edin and her co-author\, Maria Kefalas\, sought to\nanswer the question of why so many low-income women were having children\nwithout marrying\,  Based on in-depth interviews and observations\, the\nauthors found that\, rather than undervaluing marriage\, low-income women held\nmarriage to a very high bar.  Child rearing was so central to their views\nof themselves that they were unwilling to postpone starting families until they\ncould find suitable husbands\, which could take years\, if ever.  In its\nreview\, the Wall Street Journal said the authors\, “overthrow decades of\nconventional wisdom.” \nThe Russell Sage Foundation published Kathy Edin’s first book\, Making Ends\nMeet: How Single Mothers Survive Welfare and Low-Wage Work\, written with Laura\nLein. This work shed new light on a question that was central to the ongoing\ndebate about welfare reform: Why weren’t single mothers\nworking?  Edin and Lein found that most mothers were working –\nlargely off-the-books – and combining resources from several sources (welfare\,\nwork\, the fathers of their children\, grandmothers) in order to make ends meet\nfor themselves and their children. The book generated widespread interest and\ndebate\, and led to a profile of Edin in the New York Times Magazine. \nA frequent commentator for print and broadcast media\, Kathy Edin has\nalso testified before the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate on\nwelfare and marriage issues. She is chair of Harvard’s Multidisciplinary\nProgram in Inequality and Social Policy.  She is a Trustee of the Russell\nSage Foundation\, a member of ASPE’s Self Sufficiency Working Group\, and on\nHHS’s advisory committee for the poverty research centers at Michigan\,\nWisconsin\, and Stanford. She is a founding member of the MacArthur\nFoundation-funded Network on Housing and Families with Young Children and a\npast member of the MacArthur Network on the Family and the Economy. \n  Part of the FEC Public Lecture Series 2014: Growing\nEconomic Inequality Through Multiple Lenses\nTuesdays\, 12:30 – 2 pm\nPublic Affairs Building 2355
