Studies show that agrarian frames are differentiated into types based on farmers’ historical and contemporary racialized experiences. To investigate the role that agrarian frames play in navigating farm stress, we conducted a thematic analysis using data from interviews with 15 Black farmers from three Southern states. The results identify a Black Agrarian frame with two dimensions: traumatic and resilient. The traumatic dimension provides a system-blame narrative that highlights financial risk driven by institutions and racism as a core factor in farm stress. The resilient dimension describes collective action as a key coping strategy linked to understanding the farm as a multi-faceted asset. In conclusion, research on differentiated agrarian frames is an important component towards understanding how diverse populations navigate farm stress and the development of culturally appropriate resources for addressing it.}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGROMEDICINE}, author={Smolski, Andrew R. and Schulman, Michael D.}, year={2023}, month={Nov} } @inbook{schulman_greene_1986, place={Boulder, CO}, title={Factors in the Success and Survival of Smallholders: A North Carolina Case Study}, ISBN={9780429040641}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780429040641-10}, DOI={10.4324/9780429040641-10}, abstractNote={This chapter explores the factors responsible for survival and success in farming among a sample of smallholders from the North Carolina Piedmont.

Samples of small-scale farmers in three North Carolina counties were selected via a complex multistage procedure. Small-scale black farmers face problems based upon race. They also share with small-scale, white farmers problems which derive from their socioeconomic position. Several recent studies identify the adoptive strategies developed by small-scale farmers to survive in an often hostile environment. Shared characteristics of these farmers included preference for farming as an occupation, strong work orientation, access to land, and commitment to developing managerial skills, linkages with farm and non-farm organizations, strong family support, and definite goals.

We combine a bi-directional model of acculturation with the community capitals framework, suggesting improved outcomes when immigrant/refugee communities maintain healthy traditions from their home countries through bonding social capital, while accessing resources through bridging social capital to practice those traditions in the US context. We apply this lens to a research/outreach project that worked with two immigrant/refugee communities in North Carolina. Facilitating communities’ bridging social capital resulted in increased access to resources, as well as maintenance of healthy food traditions in some cases. Bonding social capital was an internal resource, but also had the potential to inadvertently recreate internal power dynamics.

We investigated the extent to which the political economy of US states, including the relative power of organized labor, predicts rates of fatal occupational injury. Methods. We described states’ political economies with 6 contextual variables measuring social and political conditions: “right-to-work” laws, union membership density, labor grievance rates, state government debt, unemployment rates, and social wage payments. We obtained data on fatal occupational injuries from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatality surveillance system and population data from the US national census. We used Poisson regression methods to analyze relationships for the years 1980 and 1995. Results. States differed notably with respect to political–economic characteristics and occupational fatality rates, although these characteristics were more homogeneous within rather than between regions. Industry and workforce composition contributed significantly to differences in state injury rates, but political–economic characteristics of states were also significantly associated with injury rates, after adjustment accounting for those factors. Conclusions. Higher rates of fatal occupational injury were associated with a state policy climate favoring business over labor, with distinct regional clustering of such state policies in the South and Northeast. }, number={8}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH}, author={Loomis, Dana and Schulman, Michael D. and Bailer, John and Stainback, Kevin and Wheeler, Matthew and Richardson, David B. and Marshall, Stephen W.}, year={2009}, month={Aug}, pages={1400–1408} } @article{runyan_schulman_dal santo_bowling_agans_2009, title={Attitudes and Beliefs About Adolescent Work and Workplace Safety Among Parents of Working Adolescents}, volume={44}, ISSN={["1879-1972"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.jadohealth.2008.08.009}, abstractNote={{"Label"=>"PURPOSE", "NlmCategory"=>"OBJECTIVE"} This study was designed to examine the attitudes and beliefs of the parents of working adolescents related to the safety of the employment of their children. {"Label"=>"METHODS", "NlmCategory"=>"METHODS"} A cross-sectional telephone survey was conducted in 2003 among English-speaking parents of working adolescents aged 14-18 years in the continental United States.

Nearly 37% of respondents reported a violation of the hazardous occupations orders (i.e., prohibited jobs or use of equipment), and 40% reported a work permit violation. Fewer than 2% reported working more than the maximum weekly hours allowed during the school year, but 11% reported working past the latest hour allowed on a school night, and 15% reported working off the clock. Conclusions. Significant numbers of US adolescents are employed in violation of the child labor laws and as a result are exposed to safety risks.

Our goal was to examine the hazard exposures, work experiences, and workplace safety training of adolescents employed in retail and service jobs in the United States.METHODS. This was a cross-sectional telephone survey among working adolescents, 14 to 18 years old, in the continental United States. Data were collected in 2003. Survey items measured self-reported hazard exposures, training, and supervision experiences of working adolescents.RESULTS. Teens reported working an average of 16.2 hours per week during the school year, including working an average of 2.9 times per week after 7 pm on school nights and 2.6 nights per week after 9 pm. Thirty-seven percent of those under age 16 reported working after 7 pm on a school night, indicating employer violation of federal law. Teens typically perform multiple kinds of tasks in a given job. Higher proportions of females than males are involved in cash handling (84% vs 61%), whereas males are more likely than females to be involved in physically challenging tasks, such as lifting heavy objects (57% vs 22%) or working at heights (35% vs 17%). Despite federal regulations prohibiting teens under 18 from using certain types of dangerous equipment (eg, slicers, dough mixers, box crushers, paper balers) or serving or selling alcohol in places where it is consumed, 52% of males and 43% of females reported having performed ≥1 prohibited task. Although more males reported receiving safety training, they were also more likely to report working without supervision than their female counterparts.CONCLUSIONS. Teens are exposed to multiple hazards, use dangerous equipment despite federal prohibitions, and work long hours during the school week. They also lack consistent training and adult supervision on the job. It is important for adolescent medicine practitioners to become involved in prevention efforts through both anticipatory guidance and policy advocacy.}, number={3}, journal={PEDIATRICS}, author={Runyan, Carol W. and Schulman, Michael and Dal Santo, Janet and Bowling, J.

DESIGN A cross-sectional telephone survey. SETTING North Carolina. PARTICIPANTS Adolescents (aged <18 years) with work permits for the construction industry in North Carolina during summer 2001. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Types of jobs, work tasks, supervisory conditions, tools, equipment, and processes. RESULTS A total of 187 survey respondents were in this study. Adolescents were employed in varied construction settings and business types. Nineteen of the 187 permitted workers were younger than 16 years, despite prohibitions against their employment in construction unless working for their parents. The remainder (n = 168) were working legally based on age, but most performed prohibited tasks. In fact, 84% of all the 16- to 17-year-olds had performed at least 1 clearly prohibited task and 47% had performed 3 or more. Although most reported being supervised and working with others, approximately 19% of all respondents reported working where they were not in hearing distance of other workers. Data were collected from teenagers with work permits, suggesting that these adolescents may work for more responsible employers. If violations of child labor laws exist in this group, it is likely that adolescents without permits are exposed to even greater hazards and violations.

The study posited that, because of their youth and immigrant status, these workers would be less likely to receive adequate training. Methods: We interviewed 50 youths aged ≤21 who had worked at least 10 days in construction in the previous year. The in-person interview included 140 questions covering a range of construction work and health and safety experiences. Results: Participants reported performing a range of hazardous tasks, some while under the age of 18. Of these, 68% to 72% reported receiving some training, but median training time was only 1 hour. Only 24% reported receiving written training material. Those with less English ability received less training. Conclusions: Young Latino immigrants in this study received inadequate training given the hazardous work they performed.

Textile firms and communities in the South have undergone restructuring: technology and labor processes have modernized, firms have merged, consolidated, or closed, and the number of workers has declined. An analysis of Cannon Mills and its associated mill community of Kannapolis identifies the sources of the paternalist form of social capital that dominated work and community social relations. Corporate mergers, downsizing, technological change, shifts in the labor market, municipal incorporation, and labor organizing contributed to the transformation and decline of paternalistic social capital. The case study reminds social scientists that social capital is a context dependent form of power that can be created, accumulated, or destroyed. While many current analyses treat social capital as an unquestioned positive force, the case study reveals the dark side of social capital.}, number={3}, journal={Rural Sociology}, author={Schulman, Michael and Anderson, C.}, year={1999}, pages={351–372} } @inbook{anderson_schulman_1999, place={Philadelphia, PA}, series={Women in the political economy}, title={Women, Restructuring and Textiles: The Increasing Complexity of Subordination and Struggle in a Southern Community}, ISBN={9781566396790 9781566396806}, booktitle={Neither Separate Nor Equal: Women, Race, and Class in the South}, publisher={Temple University Press}, author={Anderson, C. and Schulman, M.}, editor={Smith, Barbara EllenEditor}, year={1999}, pages={91–108}, collection={Women in the political economy} } @article{zakocs_runyan_schulman_dunn_evensen_1998, title={Improving safety for teens working in the retail trade sector: Opportunities and obstacles}, volume={34}, ISSN={["0271-3586"]}, DOI={10.1002/(SICI)1097-0274(199810)34:4<342::AID-AJIM7>3.0.CO;2-U}, abstractNote={BACKGROUND Using both quantitative and qualitative data, this study examined teen workers' perceptions about their work environments and the ways in which teens believe workplaces can be made safer.

The group of farmworking teens (N=141) is 72 percent male, has a mean age of 16.6 years, and is, on average, in the 10th grade. The data show that teens working on farms in North Carolina are exposed to significant safety hazards throughout their farmworking careers. A majority of the respondents in this group of farmworkers reported exposure to tractors, large animals, all‐terrain vehicles, farm trucks, and rotary mowers, and more than one‐third reported exposure to pesticides and tobacco harvesters. Common reported injuries include insect stings, cuts, burns, and falls.

Variables measuring farm and household economic hardship discriminate the group that used any type of adaptation from the group that attempted no changes. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine the effect of adaptation use on survival in agriculture.

This article is a commentary on the present status of the literature and particularly on a recent article by Barnes and Blevins (1992). Our arguments draw in large part from our previous work. Researchers in the 1970s and early 1980s were concerned mainly with replicating Goldschmidt's work. However, these studies had a number of methodological and conceptual limitations that limited closure on the debate. A new generation of research from the mid‐1980s onward was premised upon addressing the limitations, including the need to incorporate indicators of nonfarm economic structure, to take spatial or geographic features into account, and to adequately conceptualize farm structure. Barnes and Blevins (1992) disregard these inroads, evident in that their article repeats earlier arguments, offers solutions to problems addressed a decade earlier, and is vulnerable to its own methodological problems. To move inquiry forward, new directions for studies concerned with the broader issues raised by Goldschmidt are suggested.}, number={2}, journal={Rural Sociology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Lobao, Linda M. and Schulman, Michael D. and Swanson, Louis E.}, year={1993}, month={Jun}, pages={277–288} } @article{lobao_schulman_1991, title={Farming Patterns, Rural Restructuring, and Poverty: A Comparative Regional Analysis}, volume={56}, ISSN={0036-0112}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1549-0831.1991.tb00447.x}, DOI={10.1111/j.1549-0831.1991.tb00447.x}, abstractNote={Abstract This study examines the contentions of two recent perspectives on rural economic organization and their implications for poverty. Building from (1) agrarian political economy and (2) the rural restructuring literatures, we present a comparative regional analysis of how farming patterns and other aspects of economic organization differentially affect poverty in rural areas. Data are based on 2,349 nonmetropolitan U.S. counties for the 1970–1980 period. Nonhired labor‐dependent, family‐operated farming (smaller and larger family farming) has relatively similar cross‐regional effects on rural poverty. The effects of industrialized farming are more spatially variant, suggesting that this type of farming is integrated into regional political economies in different ways than are simple commodity units. However, farming patterns have only a small effect on rural poverty relative to other factors, such as the local employment structure, characteristics of the population, and geographic location. The results of this study highlight the need to move beyond the farm sector to understand both the dynamics of this sector and the socioeconomic consequences of rural restructuring. More broadly, the study underscores the importance of testing general sociological relationships under different spatial (e.g., regional) contexts.}, number={4}, journal={Rural Sociology}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Lobao, Linda M. and Schulman, Michael D.}, year={1991}, month={Dec}, pages={565–602} } @book{jeffrey leiter_rhonda zingraff_1991, title={Hanging by a thread social change in southern textiles}, publisher={Ithaca, NY: ILR Press}, author={Jeffrey Leiter, Michael D.

The theories of Lenin and Chayanov also highlight the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors in the differentiation of the peasantry. Panel data from a survey of black small‐scale farm operators in the North Carolina Piedmont are used to test hypotheses based upon the Lenin‐Chayanov debate. A multivariate analysis shows that black farmers who survived owned tobacco quota, had more on‐farm household labor, had smaller households, and had higher gross farm incomes than those who left agriculture. These results point to the need to synthesize Lenin's macro‐level focus on class formation and Chayanov's micro‐level focus on enterprise formation in order to understand smallholder persistence. Over the five‐year period studied, approximately 50 percent of the original respondents were no longer actively operating farms indicating that the future of the black smallholder remains precarious.}, number={2}, journal={Rural Sociology}, author={Schulman, Michael and Newman, B.

Investigations of this question have been framed by reference to the experiences of newly proletarianized workers‐their path to the factory via farming and their industrial experience or socialization into nonfarm working class life. Some argue that newly proletarianized workers are prone to militancy due to their inexperience with factory discipline and marginal workplace positions. Others maintain that the characteristics of recently arrived workers fail to promote or may even inhibit militancy. These competing perspectives are examined by analyzing the effects of farm background and personal and intergenerational industrial experience on four measures of militancy for a sample of textile workers from a Southern community.

The success of any policy aimed at regional economic development is at least partially contingent on support from the rural-hinterland people who are both the policy's target and its ultimate vehicle of implementation. The failure of a target population to cooperate with and participate in programs designed to realize policy objectives may lead to a policy's doom. Knowledge of the attitudes towards a growth-centers policy of people who have experienced or will experience the policy's impact helps assess the prospects for the policy's success. This present article examines patterns of opposition to and support for growth centers among a target population for the policy and notes the implications for regional development policy in general.}, number={2}, journal={Growth and Change}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Martinson, Oscar B. and Schulman, Michael}, year={1977}, month={Apr}, pages={31–37} } @article{schulman_silva_christeller_1976, title={An Empirical Examination of Order and Conflict Theories of Social Problems as Competing Ideologies}, volume={16}, journal={Sociological Symposium}, author={Schulman, Michael D. and Silva, Edward T. and Christeller, Catherine A.}, year={1976}, pages={45–62} } @article{schulman_canak_1976, title={Pedagogy in Prisons: The Structure and Practice of Teaching Sociology in a `Total Institution'}, volume={13}, journal={The Wisconsin Sociologist}, author={Schulman, Michael D. and Canak, William L.}, year={1976}, pages={30–38} }
