The ongoing racist and sexist legacy of PRWORA, ‘Moynihan’ and, for example, The Ford Foundation [published Dec 14, 2017]. » Kathryn Edin (Russell Sage Fndtn trustee since 2013 but sponsored since her PhD 1991) CV excerpts + bio blurb ~ Sshot 2017Dec13 Wed @5.26.39 PM
Read the current Johns Hopkins bio blurb under its School of Sociology and Edin’s related C.V. (excerpts posted nearby; she is co-authoring with Ronald Mincy and others on fatherhood issues throughout the post-PhD career and recently was honored by the NFLG (National Fatherhood Leaders Group which is a badly-behaving nonprofit whose leadership entails some of the HHS grantee organizations profiting from those income streams since PRWORA 1996…). My point is not to say this person isn’t a good scholar, or hasn’t earned the academics. However, I find it odd that while she was getting her PhD in one field, I was dealing with an abusive spouse (same timeframe) intent on driving me out of the equally (in its benefits to children, families and society) profession, and through the collaborations denigrating single mothers (such as I later became by virtue of demanding the battering stop and separating myself from the man so attached to the habit, along with other classic, controlling, woman-denigrating, and economically coercive traits that characterized our time together as “man and wife.” It doesn’t seem right within a society that some professions are exalted because they are better for controlling and manipulating poor people (and running studies on them for fame and profit) while the professions some of those are working in, are dishonored. I also protest that there’s no comparable transparency from the same sector on the reality that these professions are sustained by, generally speaking, the poor (when it comes to public funds) and/or private foundations for which the working poor and middle class, are likely working, and via tax differences, not keeping as much of their earnings as the tax-exempt foundations which help preserve historic and family wealth under PRIVATE control..
