Distinguished Contribution Award
Our section bestows a distinguished contribution award each year, whose focus varies on a three-year cycle (early career, publication, and advocacy). In 2011, the Distinguished Contribution Award is an advocacy award, to be given to an organization that has made significant contributions on behalf of children and youth. The organization should be in the Chicago, IL area, where the ASA annual meeting will be held next year. Please send nominations with a brief rationale to the Award Committee Chair, Val Leiter ([email protected]), by February 1st. Allison Pugh, University of Virginia, for Longing and Belonging: Parents, Children and Consumer Culture. Berkeley: University of California Press (2009).
Pugh's book is based on a multi-year ethnography in schools and homes covering a range of socio-economic contexts. She finds that children's desires for goods are driven as much by a desire to "belong" as susceptibility to advertising or a desire for status. She finds that parents similarly prioritize buying these goods for children, even when finances are strained, because they emphasize with their children's fear of standing out as different from their peers. We had many strong nominations this year, but the committee felt that Pugh stood out as hitting all the criteria we used in our evaluations. Her book was theoretically grounded, well executed, and an easy read. It made a direct contribution to the sub-discipline of children and childhood. And, it had clear policy relevance, and made us think in new ways about consumerism. Emily Rauscher, New York University, for "Producing Adulthood: Adolescent Employment, Fertility, and the Life Course"
This paper addresses the central question of transition to adulthood. It focuses on the controversy over the effect of adolescent employment on the relatively neglected fertility outcome. The paper is excel-lent in both theoretical rigor and methodological soundness. It tests two competing theories, namely opportunity cost and life course. The methodology is innovative in that two repeated cross-sectional, nationally representative data (ACS) are used to address transition to adulthood questions. Through a competent use of causal analysis techniques including instrumental variable at the individual-level analysis to address selection into employment and difference-in-differences method at the state-level analysis to address temporal order and reciprocity concerns, the findings of the paper provide solid evi-dence to support that adolescent employment speeds up transition to adulthood.

Jones, Uiversity of Notre Dame, for "Gaining 'Respect': Negotiating Race and Class in Black Student Relations.with School Officials” Honorable Mention 2: Jen-Hao Chen, University of Chicago, for “Maternal Health Behaviors during Pregnancy, Birth Weight, and Early Non-Cognitive Skills |
