WCPC asked Raine Dozier, the author of the work highlighted in our April Flash and 2005-06 West Coast Poverty Center Dissertation Fellow, about her thoughts on completing this piece of research. Read the interview here. The Flash highlights her paper by the same name which was presented at the 2006 American Sociological Association Annual Meeting, and received the ASA's student paper award in the Race, Gender, and Class section, and the Harry Bridges Center for Labor's graduate student paper prize at the University of Washington.
