Beyond composition: What the study of diversity in K12 schools can learn from research in higher education Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-13 David K. Diehl, Dominique Odelle Tunzi
Several decades of interdisciplinary research have demonstrated the benefits of racially and ethnically integrated K12 schools. However, there is still much we do not know about what happens inside diverse schools that lead to these outcomes. In this article, we argue that the study of diversity in higher education, with its greater focus on internal institutional dynamics and a broader range of outcomes

The gendered pandemic: The implications of COVID‐19 for work and family Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-09 Jill E. Yavorsky, Yue Qian, Amanda C. Sargent
The COVID‐19 pandemic has affected nearly all the aspects of society since it's onset in early 2020. In addition to infecting and taking the lives of millions of global citizens, the pandemic has fundamentally changed family and work patterns. The pandemic and associated mitigation measures have increased the unemployment rates, amplified health risks for essential workers required to work on‐site

Is there a global super‐bourgeoisie? Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-09 Bruno Cousin, Sébastien Chauvin
In recent decades, accelerating processes of globalization and an increase in economic inequality in most of the world's countries have raised the question of the emergence of a new bourgeoisie integrated at the global level, sometimes described as a global super‐bourgeoisie. This group would be distinguished by its unequaled level of wealth and global interconnectedness, its transnational ubiquity

Racism and pride in attitudes toward confederate symbols Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-09 Logan Strother
In this essay, I describe and evaluate the contemporary debate over support for Confederate icons. This debate is often stylized as “heritage” versus “hatred.” In this debate, one side alleges that their favored Confederate symbols represent pride in Southern‐Confederate identity, whereas the other urges that Confederate symbols represent racial hatred and white supremacy. I argue that the “heritage

Veganism as a lifestyle movement Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-07 Nina Gheihman
In the last few years, the popularity of veganism has surged. Current literature on the cultural practice, which situates it within a social movements framework, cannot adequately explain this meteoric rise. A better approach is to view veganism as an emerging lifestyle movement based on individual consumption rather than political protest. After situating veganism within the literature on animal rights

As income inequality in the United States has reached an all‐time high, commentators from across the political spectrum warn about the social implications of these economic changes.

The family as gender and sexuality factory: A review of the literature and future directions Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 Lawrence Stacey

Mother needs a bigger “helper”: A critique of “wine mom” discourse as conformity to hegemonic intensive motherhood Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-03-08 Harmony Newman, Kyle Anne Nelson
“Wine mom” discourse encourages American women to self‐deprecatingly bond over the stressors of parenting and touts alcohol use as necessary means for coping and escapism.

Sociologists have contributed greatly to our understanding of how systems of oppression operate and work together to produce injustice. However, they have paid considerably less theoretical and empirical attention to fatphobia and ableism compared to some other systems of oppression. Worse yet, noncritical sociological research on fat bodies and disabled bodyminds has often contributed to the perpetuation

Candidate emergence as movement mobilization: An analysis of Women's post‐2016 electoral engagement Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-03 Katie M. Gordon
Political science scholarship argues that women's underrepresentation in American politics stems from a persistent shortage of female candidates.

Such barriers remain intact, yet thousands of women have signaled their interest in running for office since the

Toward a political sociology of privatized punishment: Contestation, state structures, and stratification Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-04-02 Brett C. Burkhardt, Brian T. Connor
Privatized punishment—in which nonstate actors carry out state‐mandated criminal punishments—has developed into a common practice since its rise in the 1980s. Many disciplines, including criminology, political science, public administration, and economics, have examined its use over the past four decades. However, privatized punishment has not garnered much attention in sociology. This is surprising

For decades, U.S. immigration policy debates have centered on creating a merit‐based system limiting entry to high‐skilled immigrants.

Policing cities: Incivility, disorder, and societal transformations Sociology Compass (IF 1.226) Pub Date : 2021-02-18 Pavel Pospěch
Over the past 30 years, we have been witnessing a rise in incivility policing across western but also non‐western cities. The term “incivility policing” refers to bans and exclusion aimed at drinking alcohol, begging, loitering, sitting in public, and many other kinds of subcriminal conduct. Scholars have observed an increasing readiness to demand legal “solutions” aimed against these kinds of conduct

Considerable research exists that examines attitudes toward migrants.
