harris' talk is making me wonder all the various sources of information parents must receive about appropriate behavior online. to what extent is it websites vs. parent peer expectation vs. schools...how to parents navigate these messages? #asa19
harris finds that the top topics for parenting advice re: social media were privacy, monitoring, limiting screen time, a priority over other topics like data permanence or future implications (love this, this resonates with my work at the school-level, too) #asa19
harris analyzed 73 websites on advice for parenting and social media (cool!), including 8 from professional and scholarly organizations, to identify themes in parenting advice #asa19
harris asks, how do parents develop and transmit social media cultural capital to their children? #asa19

tyson interviewed employers in tampa bay area for manufacturing and high tech companies. employers say that young adults lack the full range of skills to be competitive for the workforce. (i wonder at what point in the hiring process they noticed these gaps?) #asa19

in their work, barnes expected that pediatric providers would define childhood in ways that refer to medicinal terms, but found they would draw on social constructions of childhood and innocence in framing patients #asa19

musto shows how years of being interrupted and challenged by boys with teacher validation (as opposed to young women's experience) led to 8th grade young women describing themselves as quieter and resistant to speaking up for fear of being shamed as unintelligent #asa19
musto documents boys' patterned interruptions in class, speaking over young women who were speaking on their turn, and teachers would smile and permit boys to dominate the conversation. (anyone getting dem debate vibes from this?) #asa19
musto: girls are outperforming boys in many aspects of school. but despite girls' achievements, k-college students perceive boys as more intelligent, even into the workforce -- with low #s of women in academic fields. how do students learn to perceive boys in this way? #asa19

ispa-landa shows how members of these sororities *know* the hierarchy between them is wrong, and that it's mainly based on looks, referring to a discourse of "fit" that obscures race/class/gender intersections #asa19
in an effort to curtail the dreaded "i have comment not a question," freeden oeur opens the panel with a novel peer-reviewed q&a approach we will explore in the last part of this session! #asa19
