More information about the journal can be found here: www.colorado.edu/journals/cye Special Issue of New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, Special Guest Editor: Jeylan T. Mortimer. Issue No. 119 (Spring 2008). This issue is inspired by a stirring address that Frank Furstenberg delivered at the 2006 Meeting of the Society for Research on Adolescence, “Diverging development: The not so invisible hand of social class in the United States.” He called on social scientists interested in the study of development to expand their purview beyond investigations of the developmental impacts of poverty to consider the full gamut of social class variation in our increasingly unequal society. The gradations of class alter the social supports, resources and opportunities, as well as the constraints facing parents as they attempt to guide their children toward the acquisition of adult roles. This issue examines the impacts of social class origin on the highly formative period of transition to adulthood. Drawing on findings from the Youth Development Study and other sources, the authors examine social class differences in adult child-parent relationships, intimacy and family formation, higher educational attainment, the school-to work transition, the emergence of work-family conflict, and harassment in the workplace. The authors indicate new directions for research that will enhance understanding of the problems facing our nation’s young people. These articles will persuade social policy makers to develop social interventions that will level the playing field and increase the opportunities for disadvantaged youth to become healthy and productive adults. Lingxin Hao and colleagues— On-going project related to children and youth. See publication updates here. Lingxin Hao (PI) and Sue-ling Pong (co-PI) are currently conducting an inter-generational mobility project. This project examines the role of public high schools in the upward mobility of students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The central research question is: Do public high schools compensate for the out-of-school learning disadvantage faced by underprivileged students? The overarching goal is to identify the specific structural and relational attributes of public high schools that prepare disadvantaged students to ascend the social ladder.
