I got acceptances for presentations at #WFRN2024 last week!

Allison Daminger, @jsradford, Soyun Park, and I will share our paper "The Gendered (De)Valuation of Household Labor."

Casey Scheibling also organized an Author Meets Readers Session: "The Gendered Challenges and Compromises of Young Professionals: A Conversation with Dr. Jaclyn S. Wong about “Equal Partners?”"

I'm so looking forward to seeing you all in Montreal!

🧵 of findings (https://sciences.social/@JaclynSWong/111564919357414662):

Why are dual-career women more likely than their husbands to become trailing spouses? Why do women do more unpaid housework and childcare than their husbands even when both partners work for pay? These questions about gender inequality in work and family are ultimately questions about gendered power in couples' decision making: who has authority in what areas of life, who has to labor to implement a vision, and who benefits from these decisions 1/n

I'm cleaning survey respondents' descriptions of how they split the laundry and I see a number of these:

"My husband does his own laundry, I do the rest (mine, kid's, kitchen's, bathroom's)."

"We each do our own laundry and I usually do sheets, cat stuff"
*this R is a woman

These respondents neither checked "Mostly me" nor ""Equally shared" when asked who does the laundry and instead write text. What does this mean?

JaclynSWong,

As the other cases typically say something like "we each do our own laundry" I think these responses may indicate that not all households view laundry as a shared chore so R's felt like explaining this nuance in their division of labor in "other, describe." That's fair, and maybe I need to rethink my assumptions of "shared" laundry like bathroom hand towels, bedsheets, young kids' laundry. Always learning something from "other, describe"

I've regularly taught Social Stratification since Fall 2018 and I still get angry/frustrated when I get to the part of the semester about gender and racial wage gaps. I update the materials to reflect current statistics every year, but the punchline is always the same: the American landscape of work and pay is so unfair!!

Things I didn't realize about the :

(This will be a very long list by the end of the year if I keep it up. We'll see.)

  1. Your statements are basically done after the first few deadlines. I always thought I'd customize extensively for each school.

Nope.

On a week like this (with so many apps due Sep 15), you just don't have time. You have to trust that you already put in the work with your base template. It's a mental shift from fellowship apps.

@academicchatter @sociology

JaclynSWong,

@writingmonicker @academicchatter @sociology This was SO REAL for me. It was incredibly helpful to have someone keep my anxiety in check

writingmonicker, to academia

There's this weird bit of dissonance in job applications...

...where I'm writing about the pandemic and diversity work done during 2020-2021,

...framing this time as a series of triumphs and barriers overcome by me, the best job candidate for your position,

...until I lean back and actually let myself think

...and the actual memories are traumatic little flashbacks.

JaclynSWong,

@writingmonicker Hard same when I was writing my tenure personal statement this past summer. It was weird to frame it as "rising to the challenge and succeeding" while a pit formed in my stomach thinking back on how hard it was from 2020 to 2022 (the burnout in the second pandemic year was really, really tough on me)

JaclynSWong,

@mcraenich @CoffeeBaseball @lsayer @familyresearch My partner makes triple what I do but we think both our incomes contribute to our future. We also see each other's time as equally valuable despite what capitalism thinks our paid work hours are worth so it makes just as much sense for him to put energy into maintaining our home as it does for me to do the same. Just throwing in my two cents to an interesting conversation

JaclynSWong,

@mcraenich @CoffeeBaseball @lsayer @familyresearch My partner and I do "keep score." We share a spreadsheet where we each log our time spent in various chores. We review it during our weekly planning meetings to ensure chores are allocated evenly between us. It's very easy to "let it slide" every week that I might be doing more laundry/he might be making more shopping trips so this spreadsheet helps us stay accountable to each other to be equally responsible for our household

JaclynSWong,

@CoffeeBaseball @mcraenich @familyresearch We don't have kids but I fully expect our balance would be thrown off with children. There were some examples of equal parenting in my research and a lot of it had to do with men conscientiously stepping up their involvement. It seemed really hard!

This is my sixth year teaching at USC (and I also taught as a grad student at UChicago) and I still get FDOC butterflies! Idk why bc I even have some repeat students in my next class

JaclynSWong,

@Jyoti Thanks! The first class, of course, went well (I've taught it seven semesters in a row) and the butterflies went away as soon as the repeat students started chatting with me like they knew me (bc they do!)

angela, to Sociology

Inspired by @writingmonicker, I wanted to reflect on my first #ASA2023!

💐 The conference was overwhelmingly positive for me, so I wanted to express gratitude to all the organizers, mentors, friends, and kind souls that made it so.

💡But, as someone focused on social change, I pondered a few things that would make #ASA a more equitable experience for all.

📝 Finally, I wanted to process in public ideas for #sociology students (aka: me in the future) to make the most out of it!

JaclynSWong,

@writingmonicker @angela Access to good food is huge for me when I consider traveling for conferences. Next up is Montreal, which is close to Chinatown again!

JaclynSWong,

@angela @writingmonicker I have recommendations for SF and Chicago for upcoming ASA conferences too

JaclynSWong,

@angela @jonathanhorowi1 @writingmonicker You are not the first person I have met with this opinion! I'm personally an equal-opportunity carb-eater so any regional style of bagel is great to me

I'm paying someone else to collect survey data for me for the first time and I'm really excited to get the data back so I can crunch numbers and learn things!

JaclynSWong,

My first number-crunching task is running a data quality check on the first round of collected responses. I'm learning pretty interesting meta-info about group differences in the time to complete the survey and attention check pass rates
