Rivera’s work, “An Economy of Guilt: Single Mom Negotiating Work & Life,” draws on interviews with 20 single mothers who describe their experiences negotiating work (work-life policies, bosses, scheduling, etc.) and life (childcare, housework, leisure, etc.). An interpretive analysis reveals tensions between participants’ feelings of guilt and gratitude, proposing a theory of an “economy of guilt” that often keeps single moms silent and compliant in the workplace for fear of negative repercussions. Findings provide a better understanding of why single mothers may under-utilize organizational work-life policies (such as maternity leave or flexible work schedules) given their discursive re-constructions of moral and work-related “guilt.” Gómez de García’s presentation was on “Analysis of Syllable Nuclei in Ixhil Maya.”

When done wrong, student speeches may be a waste of time and actually reinforce bad habits. Their goal is to provide a foundation of ideas and tools that will result in successful presentations across the curriculum.
