How do social hierarchies emerge from symbolic boundaries? Based on an ethnography of a college party scene, we consider "Who parties with whom" as a way to trace the micro-interactional bases of status stratification.

Crawling is the search for a low-status house party to attend, often leadin…

In their selective visual representation, Sad Girls are often white and embody white narratives of history, erasing the Latina/x roots of Sad Girl identity formation. Simultaneously, the #CarefreeBlackGirl hashtag has become an alternative and prominent form of narrative identity, centralizing race, gend…
