Private Long-Term Care Insurance And The Asset Protection Motive, Jennifer M. Mellor
Arts & Sciences Articles
This research examined the role of assets in the decision to purchase insurance for long-term care using survey data from the Asset and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old (AHEAD) study. Previous research suggests that assets matter, but the size and direction of the effect varies. An important issue regarding the role of assets has not been explored adequately—whether the effect of assets differs between less wealthy and very wealthy individuals. A methodology to control for this type of variation is employed in this analysis. Results suggest that increases in assets have the greatest influence on the probability that less …

A Study On The Remote Library Users: Needs Of Library Services And Preferences, Mihyeon Kim
School of Education Articles

Filling In The Gaps In Long-Term Care Insurance: Policy Implications For Care Workers, Jennifer M. Mellor
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
Care Work is a collection of original essays on the complexities of providing care. These essays emphasize how social policies intersect with gender, race, and class to alternately compel women to perform care work and to constrain their ability to do so. Leading international scholars from a range of disciplines provide a groundbreaking analysis of the work of caring in the context of the family, the market, and the welfare state.

How Gardening Pays: Leisure, Labor And Luxury In Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Culture, Robin Veder
How Gardening Pays: Leisure, Labor And Luxury In Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Culture, Robin Veder
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
"How Gardening Pays" is a case study of the formation and transmission of cultural practices and interpretations of flower-gardening as profitable leisure, idealized labor, and luxury consumption in nineteenth-century transatlantic culture. Mid-nineteenth-century cant about American flower-gardening as an anti-materialistic and morally improving occupation was premised upon the multiple functions of flower gardening in British working-class culture. Methodologically, this dissertation is unlike most intellectual histories of the ideological significance of nature in American culture, or formal studies of the physical attributes of horticultural history, because it demonstrates how ideologies and material practices were interrelated.;The first half of this dissertation focuses on …

Ruled With A Pen: Land, Language, And The Invention Of Maine, Gavin James Taylor
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
As Europeans expanded across North America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, they parceled their territorial acquisitions into a variety of administrative subdivisions. Naming and dividing the land became an integral part of the project of colonization; the conquest of territory involved the transformation of unknown places into clearly defined jurisdictions. This dissertation examines the invention of one jurisdiction, the state of Maine, viewing the evolution of its borders as a reflection of the growth of state power in the region. Seeing an inextricable link between social and territorial boundaries, it ties the development of the territory of Maine to …

Incorporating Writing Into The Mass Class: An Alternate Model For Quiz/Discussion Sessions, Deenesh Sohoni
Arts & Sciences Book Chapters
One of the main disjunctions that exists in undergraduate education within the discipline of sociology is the increased stress we now place on the importance of writing, and the inadequacy of the training we provide our students to become better writers. The call for improved student writing ranges from professors surprised and dismayed with reading student essays, which they consider to be inadequate to the complexity of course material, to those who see the task of sociology as providing a general liberal education, with writing an important skill for the development of a well rounded member of society. Although greater …
