Teachers' awareness, attitudes and practice of environmental education
American Idle
In American Idle, sociologists Annette Nierobisz and Dana Sawchuk report their findings from interviews with sixty-two mostly white-collar workers who experienced late-career job loss in the wake of the Great Recession. Without the benefits of planned retirement or time horizons favorable to recouping their losses, these employees experience an array of outcomes, from hard falls to soft landings. Notably, the authors find that when reflecting on the effects of job loss, fruitless job searches, and the overall experience of unemployment, participants regularly called on the frameworks instilled by neoliberalism. Invoking neoliberal rhetoric, these older Americans deferred to businesses' need to prioritize bottom lines, accepted the shift toward precarious employment, or highlighted the importance of taking initiative and maintaining a positive mindset in the face of structural obstacles. Even so, participants also recognized the incompatibility between neoliberalism's "one-size-fits-all" solutions and their own situations; this disconnect led them to consider their experiences through competing frameworks and to voice resistance to aspects of neoliberal capitalism. Employing a life course sociology perspective to explore older workers' precarity in an age of rising economic insecurity, Nierobisz and Sawchuk shed light on a new wrinkle in American aging.
Filipino Care Workers in Israel
This book traces the construction of migrant space in Israel's urban periphery with a focus on the flat that Filipino care workers co-rent for their day-off and provides insight into the migrant lives and journeys in trans-local contexts. The author selects the flat not only as the central field site for fieldwork but also as an analytical lens for grasping the various social networks and the formation of new identities. Offering a repertoire of migrants' own narratives, she shows how the flat, as a microcosm of societal constellations of networks, provides opportunities for all sorts of new experiences. The groundbreaking ethnography contributes to migration scholarship by opening up avenues of analysis for space, community, and boundary-making in displacement and provides comprehensive insight into the dynamics of transnational labor migration. This provocative volume will be of key interest to scholars and students of migration studies, urban studies, and more broadly to anthropology and gender studies.
