Gradualist change or sudden collapse? Religious decline and residual religiosity in Ireland
Turpin's book on religiosity in contemporary Ireland explores the persistence of Irish cultural Catholicism and the poor long-term prospects for active religiosity.The book examines the cultural content of religiosity, irreligion, and unbelief in Ireland, adding to the body of evidence on Irish secularization by probing the moral justifications of former and continuing adherents.Researching incongruent religious behavior is challenging (Chaves, 2…
The Parenthood Penalty in Creative Occupations
Creative occupations are well-known for inequalities and exclusions. This article focuses on one such excluded group-creative workers who are the parents of young children-to examine the impact of the pandemic on their creative careers. We use the Household Quarterly Labour Force Survey, a large and nationally representative database of UK workers covering the period of 2015-2021. We run regression analyses to estimate the multidimensional impact…
Coronavirus conspiracy suspicions, general vaccine attitudes, trust and coronavirus information source as predictors of vaccine hesitancy among UK residents during the Covid-19 pandemic
Background Vaccine hesitancy presents an obstacle to the campaign to control COVID-19. It has previously been found to be associated with youth, female gender, low income, low education, low medical trust, minority ethnic group membership, low perceived risk from COVID-19, use of certain social media platforms and conspiracy beliefs. However, it is unclear which of these predictors might explain variance associated with others. Methods An online …
Cultural consumption and Covid-19
How did cultural consumption change during the Covid-19 pandemic? Whilst the impact of the pandemic on cultural production has been given significant attention, work on consumption has seen less attention. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of two, nationally representative, surveys of cultural activity in England. The analysis demonstrates that, when cultural consumption moved online and to digit…
Cultural Consumption and Covid-19
How did cultural consumption change during the Covid-19 pandemic? Whilst the impact of the pandemic on cultural production has been given significant attention, work on consumption has seen less attention (Roberts 2020 on leisure time notwithstanding). This paper addresses this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of two, nationally representative, surveys of cultural activity in England. The analysis demonstrates that, when…
The man that got away’
Jazz is remarkable among genres in emerging from marginalised communities to a position of status, and is also evidently male-dominated in terms of both audiences and musicians. Using the Taking Part surveys of cultural participation in England, we investigate the gender gap in jazz and how it compares with classical and rock. We find women are less likely to attend jazz concerts than men. We also report on a unique dataset of 983 musicians, and …
Belonging, believing, behaving, and Brexit
Having an Anglican affiliation is known to be associated with support for leaving the European Union (EU) in Britain. Religiosity, conceived as strength of religious attachment, has received comparatively little treatment. We investigate religiosity via electoral, household, and attitudinal surveys, distinguishing the effects of “behaving” and “believing.” The association between religiosity and EU Referendum vote choice and position is identifie…
The values of culture? Social closure in the political identities, policy preferences, and social attitudes of cultural and creative workers
Cultural consumption and production are both characterised by multiple dimensions of inequality. Research in cultural stratification has highlighted the links between the exclusivity of cultural production, the type of cultural works created, and the audiences and public receptions for culture. We contribute to this agenda by examining a hitherto unexplored area: the cultural values and political identities of workers in the creative industries a…
Religiosity, Secular Participation, and Cultural Socialization
The nature of secularization is of enduring interest in the social science of religion. Numerous recent papers have established downward cohort trends as characterizing religious change. We examine potential mechanisms by assessing cultural participation and secular engagement during the formative period of one cohort. We provide estimates of active and nominal religiosity, nonreligion and religious belief for those born between 1933 and 1942, us…
Music as Collective Invention
Composers generally write music alone, and we commonly understand the great figures of classical music as singular geniuses. Even where composers' social networks and friendships are of contextual interest, it is arguable that their association with other musicians arises because they choose to socialize with similar others. However, it is also possible that creative work, even for artists as solitary as composers, depends significantly on intera…
Immigrant generation, religiosity and civic engagement in Britain
Immigrant integration appears to be generational in the USA, and further facilitated by religious involvement. We examine whether similar patterns exist in Britain. We find evidence for secularization across ethnic minority groups, measured by private religious practice and religious salience. Communal religious practice appears robust to generational decline. Ethnic minority members of the second generation exhibit lower social trust; for the 1.…
Modernization and the gender gap in religiosity
History, Time, Meaning, and Memory
The quantitative turn in sociology from the 1950s, and the cultural turn in history of the 1980s, has left qualitative research in the positivist or critical realist traditions in partial limbo. Sociologists across a number of substantive areas with more concern for the right method for the right question, rather than credentialization via technical firepower, may feel somewhat marginalized. This intriguing collection of papers therefore calls fo…
Three Puzzles of Non-religion in Britain
Non-religious people tend to be male rather than female, to be better educated than average, and to live in particular areas. Each of these findings contains a puzzle that we address using data from Great Britain. Male infants are slightly more likely than female infants to be described by their parents as having no religion. To explain this phenomenon, we show that there is an association between the religious labels attached to girls and boys a…
