How Americans Assess Intimate Partner Violence
Most Americans view intimate partner violence as wrong. Less is known, however, about how the general population evaluates threats from romantic partners. When do third parties support interventions such as police involvement, restraining orders, or prohibiting the abuser from owning a gun? Through a survey-based experiment, participants reacted to a separated dating relationship scenario in which three elements were manipulated: the race of the …
Art dealers as competitors and community builders
Art dealers are often described as gatekeepers who are focused on their own position as well as the status of their artists and collectors. We argue that this is an incomplete account of art dealing. The goal of this article is to explain how art dealing is a “toolkit” that does not exclusively focus on status building and social capital, but also includes behavior associated with accessing the visual arts field and community development. First, …
Black Protesters in a White Social Movement
On the basis of ethnographic and historical accounts, many movement scholars hold that differences in political expectations and interaction styles inhibit cross-racial collaboration in social movements. Inspired by this research, the authors ask three questions about minority participation in social movements and address them using a survey of more than 6,000 participants in the anti-Iraq War movement. First, the authors ask about relational ine…
Black Lives Matter protests shift public discourse
Significance This study uses large-scale news media and social media data to show that nationwide Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests occur concurrently with sharp increases in public attention to components of the BLM agenda. We also show that attention to BLM and related concepts is not limited to these brief periods of protest but is sustained after protest has ceased. This suggests that protest events incited a change in public awareness of BLM…
The Constitution of Knowledge
Jonathan Rauch is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute in the Governance Studies program and the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He recently sat down with Contexts Co-Editor Fabio Rojas and Production Editor Alisha Kirchoff to discuss his latest book, The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth (2021), his past work including a selection of his other books, social change, and what the…

Books, History, and Black Lives
Khalil Gibran Muhammad is the Ford Foundation Professor of History, Race and Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. He directs the Institutional Antiracism and Account- ability Project and is the former Director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library and the world’s leading library and archive of global black history. Before leading the Schomburg Center, Khalil was an associate professor…
A Sociological Theory of Contemporary Art Collectors
This article presents a theory of contemporary art collectors. Using data from in-depth interviews with twenty-eight art collectors in the United States, Latin America, and Europe, recruited from art fairs and social media platforms, we describe the pathways into collecting and the types of social positions that collectors assume in the contemporary art field. Interviews describe three entry points into art collecting: purchasing art for decorati…

Stefan M. Bradley. Upending the Ivory Tower
Where are we at in Black Power scholarship? In the 1990s, the situation was sparse. There were only a handful of books addressing Black Power, and many were first-person accounts of the movement. One could read multiple volumes by Huey Newton but few about the man himself. Now we have a wealth of scholarship. We have engaging overviews, like those by Jeffrey O. G. Ogbar’s Black Power: Radical Politics and African American Identity or Peniel Josep…
Moving beyond the rhetoric
Adam Szetela criticizes Black Lives Matter for being a movement with extremely broad and unrealistic goals. If attention is restricted to what movement leaders say, then the criticism has merit. However, academic researchers have uncovered a wide range of the movement's outcomes, suggesting that Szetela's analysis is incomplete. I briefly argue that Black Lives Matter may have notable cultural and political impacts. I also argue that, contra Szet…
Scholarly Crimes and Misdemeanors
College campus activism
This article reviews scholarship on college campus activism in the U.S. We use ideology as a lens with which to examine and discuss college protest. Specifically, we distinguish between right‐wing and left‐wing college campus movements and examine recent developments. We begin with a discussion of basic concepts from social movement theory and provide an overview of the theoretical differences between right‐ and left‐wing movements. Then, we prov…

Theory for the Working Sociologist
Theory for the Working Sociologist makes social theory easy to understand by revealing sociology's hidden playbook. Fabio Rojas argues that sociologists use four different types of theoretical "moves" when they try to explain the social world: they explain how groups defend their status, how people strategically pursue their goals, how values and institutions support each other, and how people create their social reality. In doing so, Rojas revea…

The social media response to Black Lives Matter
This paper focuses on the social media presence of Black Lives Matter (BLM). Specifically, we examine how social media users interact with BLM by using hashtags and thus modify the framing of the movement. We call this decentralized interaction with the movement “distributed framing”. Empirically, we illustrate this idea with an analysis of 66,159 tweets that mention #BlackLivesMatter in 2014, when #BlackLivesMatter becomes prominent on social me…

Curriculum as a Site of Political and Cultural Conflict
Schools are both political and academic institutions. This essay explains the different ways that schools generate conflict because people dispute the content of the school curriculum. This essay begins by noting that schools require the approval of political elites and the public. Without such support, schools can't operate. Also, schools lend legitimacy to particular ideas, which means that people will fight over the content of classroom instru…
Party in the Street
Party in the Street explores the interaction between political parties and social movements in the United States. Examining the collapse of the post-9/11 antiwar movement against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book focuses on activism and protest in the United States. It argues that the electoral success of the Democratic Party and President Barack Obama, as well as antipathy toward President George W. Bush, played a greater role in this …

Hybrid Activism
Social movement organizations often struggle to mobilize supporters from allied movements in their efforts to achieve critical mass. The authors argue that organizations with hybrid identities--those whose organizational identities span the boundaries of two or more social movements, issues, or identities--are vital to mobilizing these constituencies. They use original data from their study of the post-9/11 U.S. antiwar movement to show that indi…
Partisans, Nonpartisans, and the Antiwar Movement in the United States
American social movements are often bitterly divided about whether their objectives are achieved better by working with one of the major political parties or by operating independently. These divisions are consequential for how social movements and political parties respond to one another. First, differing partisan attitudes shape the structure of activist networks, leading activists to join organizations with others who share their party loyalti…
The Partisan Dynamics of Contention
Changes in threats perceived by activists, partisan identification, and coalition brokerage are three mechanisms that help to explain the demobilization of the antiwar movement in the United States from 2007 to 2009. Drawing upon 5,398 surveys of demonstrators at antiwar protests, interviews with movement leaders, and ethnographic observation, this article argues that the antiwar movement demobilized as Democrats, who had been motivated to partic…

Inhibition of the 26 S Proteasome by Polyubiquitin Chains Synthesized to Have Defined Lengths
Ubiquitin is a covalent signal that targets cellular proteins to the 26 S proteasome. Multiple ubiquitins can be ligated together through the formation of isopeptide bonds between Lys48 and Gly76 of successive ubiquitins. Such a polyubiquitin chain constitutes a highly effective proteolytic targeting signal, but its mode of interaction with the proteasome is not well understood. Experiments to address this issue have been limited by difficulties …
Bringing technology back in
Sociologists that study organizations often analyze the museum from a cultural perspective that emphasizes the norms of the museum industry and the larger society. We review this literature and suggest that sociologists should take into account the technical demands of museums. Drawing on insights from social studies of technology, we argue that museums are better understood as organizations that must accomplish legitimate goals with specific tec…

One Discipline, Two Tracks
This article analyzes the journal publication records of professors working in doctoral degree-granting Africana studies programs. The journals most likely to publish the work of these scholars are the Journal of Black Studies, Callaloo, and other Africana-focused journals (e.g., Journal of Negro Education). Professors in the two Ivy League Africana doctoral programs are more likely to publish in non-Africana disciplinary journals (e.g., Quarterl…
From Black Power to Black Studies
There is more than one way to analyze historical phenomena, and the sociologist Fabio Rojas has chosen to approach the issue in sociological terms. He defines his approach early on when he writes, “While social movement research motivates my research questions, I turn to organization theory for answers because black studies emerged most forcefully within universities” (p. 9). That said, he must by the nature of his problem offer a historical pers…
What Should We Learn from the Black Studies Experience
The field of Black Studies has changed in profound ways since its inception in the late 1960s. The field was initiated by students, scholars, and activists associated with the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. As time passed, adjusting to the university environment proved to be a daunting task. Drawing on prior research by the authors and other scholars, this article summarizes the evolution of Black Studies and what might be learned from t…

More Tweets, More Votes
Is social media a valid indicator of political behavior? There is considerable debate about the validity of data extracted from social media for studying offline behavior. To address this issue, we show that there is a statistically significant association between tweets that mention a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives and his or her subsequent electoral performance. We demonstrate this result with an analysis of 542,969 tweets ment…
Twitter publics
Online social networks are an important setting for understanding the intersection of online communities and offline political processes. This paper analyzes the different ways that people discuss elections on Twitter. Using data from a random sample totaling 113,985 tweets and 30,995 users, we examine the differences between users who employ various strategies to talk about US 2010 Congressional candidates. We show that users who simply include …

Fighting for Peace
This book is a study of the peace movement among veterans and military families. Fighting for Peace is based on Lisa Lietz's experiences as the spouse of a deployed soldier, multiple years of fieldwork, and extensive interviews with many peace activists. The movement raises important issues for political psychologists because participants must resolve, or integrate, two identities with seemingly contradictory demands. Peace activists are against …
