Time of Our Lives

Advances in psychology, mental health, and behavioral studies (APMHBS) book series (2022)

Josephine Ngo McKelvy

Drawing from interviews about lives that did not go as expected, the author argues that people reproduce inequality in friendship relationships by leaning into aspects of white supremacy culture and the American achievement ideology—namely, the desire for control, perfectionism, and individualism—when comparing the pace of their lives to those of their friends. Until participants could feel secure about where they were in life, these comparisons simmered competition, self-blame, resentment of peers, and isolation. Striving for these ideals also covertly protects the ideologies of dominant groups without having to name any systems of oppression or their beneficiaries. In the end, interview participants often reproduced (as much as they challenged) cultural understandings of a well-lived life, but one way to combat inequality is to transform expectations for compulsory progress.

Millennials

Encyclopedia of Family Studies (2016)

Josephine Ngo McKelvy Anna Manzoni

Abstract Millennials are members of the generation born approximately between 1980 and 2000. According to the US Census, there were over 85 million Americans between the ages of 10 and 29 in 2010, which represents about 28 percent of the US population. Millennials are the most racially diverse, educated, socially liberal, and tech‐savvy generation to date. They also tend to delay and decouple marriage and childbearing compared to previous generations. Popular culture has painted this generation as the most narcissistic birth cohort, yet the media also describe millennials as the generation that will change the world.

Marking time in ethnography: Uncovering temporal dispositions

Ethnography (2016)

Sinikka Elliott Josephine Ngo McKelvy Sarah Bowen

In this paper, we reflect on how time is appraised, organized, and managed by a group of researchers conducting an ethnography of 12 low-income families. We develop the concept of temporal dispositions: perceptions and preferences around time that in turn shape temporal practices. The concept of temporal dispositions encapsulates individuals’ background and training, agency and reflexivity, and the dynamic nature of ongoing social life and interactions through which temporal meanings may change or take on new symbolic weight. Overlaid upon each of these are larger social structures and power relations that affirm some temporal dispositions and stigmatize others. We conclude by considering the implications for ethnographic fieldworkers. We argue that analyzing the many ways researchers and participants navigate and perceive time offers insight into unspoken temporal assumptions, ideologies, and inequalities.

Mixed-methods analysis of personal growth in an equity-centered leadership development program

Journal of Clinical and Translational Science (2024)

Self-efficacy (or the belief in one's ability to effect change) often moderates the relationship between education, interest, and actions in evaluations of training programs that prepare community-based investigators in the clinical and translational sciences workforce. Such evaluations, however, tend to emphasize individual-level attitudes when there are also community- or organizational-level outcomes impacted.
