We propose that analysis of the life of Jane Lockwood Barney provides insight into the notion of a “generative identity”—an integrated sense of self constructed around caring for others and the world. During her 104 years, the socially prescribed roles for women grew in range; Barney's own roles included minister's wife, mother of four, theological philosopher, social work student and professional, and community activist. We outline her life, focusing on three periods defined by her time at Parishfield, a Christian ‘think tank’ that focused on community-engaged advocacy for structural change, based in Brighton, Michigan.

成为简·巴尼 (Jane Barney)：发展作为参与公民的生成性身份

我们建议，对简·洛克伍德·巴尼 (Jane Lockwood Barney) 的生活进行分析，可以深入了解“生成身份”的概念——一种围绕关心他人和世界而构建的综合自我意识。在她 104 岁的生命中，社会规定的女性角色范围不断扩大；巴尼自己的角色包括牧师的妻子、四个孩子的母亲、神学哲学家、社会工作学生和专业人士以及社区活动家。我们概述了她的生活，重点介绍了她在 Parishfield 的三个时期，Parishfield 是一个基督教“智囊团”，总部位于密歇根州布莱顿，专注于社区参与的结构变革宣传。
