Food Insecurity and Stress Among Rural Residents in South Carolina
Food Insecurity, the Food Environment, and Covid-19 in Rural South Carolina
In this study, we explored the relationship between the food environment and food security among rural adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers, with assistance from community partners, conducted a cross-sectional survey assessing the impact of COVID-19 on food access, food security, and physical activity in 9 rural South Carolina (SC) counties. This survey was administered to a purposive sample (N = 587) from August 2020 to March 2021. T…
“Stepping Out” for Military Service
Our qualitative study explores the experiences of engineering students serving in the Reserves or National Guard (RANG) to identify the unique challenges they face when trying to fulfill their contemporaneous educational and military commitments. To expand literature on military-connect students and veterans studies, we draw from the literature on stop-out students and use a framework of precarity to understand their college experience. Our analy…

The theme of Issue 34 of the Humboldt Journal of Social Relations is Social Justice Action, Teaching, and Research. The first article of this issue, "The Art of Social Justice," features the works of a slam poet, Vanessa Pike-Vrtiak, an activist artist, Eduardo Valadez, and an overview of the social science literature capturing the role of art in social justice movements. The two artists featured are both active in their communities and worldwide…
Building connections and broadening horizons through interdisciplinary public sociology
Public sociologists bring their expertise to communities around the world that face complex and persistent problems, including systemic inequality, environmental degradation and public health disparities. The causes, manifestations and resolution of these challenges are interdisciplinary in nature, rarely falling within the boundaries or confines of one particular discipline. In this chapter, I contend that, in many cases, resolving these complex…
Transitions of Student Military Veterans into Engineering Education
As student veterans transition to four-year institutions from the military, they navigate pathways that are often neither linear nor easy. Using Turner’s theory of liminality, we examine student veterans’ perspectives of the transition from military to civilian life. Interviewees include 60 student veterans from all military branches from four universities in the USA. Student veterans describe successes and challenges as they matriculate into eng…
Who Tells Your Story? A Card-Sort Activity for Eliciting Authentic Narratives
Card sorting has been used in qualitative studies in various fields to better understand how individuals organize information and make choices based on it. As part of a mixed-methods study of why Black engineering students initially chose their major and why they subsequently decided to persist in or switch out of it, we developed a card-sort activity and used it in 79 semi-structured student interviews. Besides generating data relevant to the mi…

Military student veterans’ distinct life pathways often make it difficult for educational researchers to adequately capture and represent the challenges and opportunities they face in college. Thus, student veteran educational programs and policies are often built on inaccurate notions about their experiences and identities. Using Veteran Critical Theory as an organizing framework, this article describes two qualitative methods used in a study of…
Changes in Public and Private Environmentally Responsible Behaviors by Gender
We examine gender differences in public and private environmentally responsible behaviors (ERBs) and whether and how these differences changed between 1994 and 2010. We consider how political attitudes and environmental concern influence the relationship between gender and ERBs. Ordinary least squares regression models were estimated using the 1994 and 2010 General Social Survey. The study results indicate that women had higher levels of private …
Gender Differences in Pro-Environmental Intentions
While many studies have addressed the complex relationship between gender and environmental constructs, few have attempted to determine just how gender influences environmentalism. We argue that the interaction of gender with other sociocultural variables must be examined. Our study includes two of these variables: technological values and self-enhancement values. Study results indicate that the effect of gender on environmental intentions is mod…
A Mixed Methods Sampling Methodology for a Multisite Case Study
The flexibility of mixed methods research strategies makes such approaches especially suitable for multisite case studies. Yet the utilization of mixed methods to select sites for these studies is rarely reported. The authors describe their pragmatic mixed methods approach to select a sample for their multisite mixed methods case study of a statewide education policy initiative in the United States. The authors designed a four-stage sequential mi…
Exploring Additional Determinants of Environmentally Responsible Behavior
It is often assumed that individuals who are knowledgeable and concerned about the environment will engage in environmentally responsible behavior (ERB). We use data from a large scale Web survey hosted on National Geographic’s Web site in 2001-2002 to investigate this premise. We examine whether reading three classic environmental books ( Walden, A Sand County Almanac, and Silent Spring) is associated with the likelihood of engaging in ERB. Conc…
Breaking Ground
This paper describes a service-learning project designed for an upper-level sociology course in Policy and Social Change. The project, Breaking Ground, had two main goals: to change students' perceptions about persons who are homeless and to increase students' sense of efficacy for engaging in social advocacy. Through Breaking Ground, students formed a partnership with advocates and homeless clients to raise public awareness about homelessness an…
Instrument Effects of Images in Web Surveys
This research note offers cautionary evidence, indicating just how little we know about how respondents react to and complete Web surveys. Researchers using or contemplating a Web-based approach need to be very clear that the line between the phenomena to be measured and the means of measurement is often quite fuzzy. This note uses data from Survey2001 to illustrate this point. Nearly 30,000 respondents completed part or all of Survey2001, which …
Community Colleges and the School-to-Work Transition
This study aims to illuminate whether the context of community colleges results in more positive outcomes for students. More specifically, the multilevel analysis aims to predict the race, gender, and socioeconomic status (SES) gaps in student outcomes, and how these are impacted by state coordination. Measures of state coordination include level of state funding, years of existence of state community college system, number of local institutions,…
The Occupational Profile
Cet article decrit un devoir universitaire realise par des etudiants en sociologie et consistant, dans un premier temps, a effectuer une analyse de l'ouvrage de Richard Stephens Carrieres dans la sociologie, et, dans un deuxieme temps, a degager un profil professionnel sur la carriere de leur choix, dans le but de rapprocher le materiel sociologique appris en cours et la realite professionnelle
Toward a New Definition of Accountability
This article describes the research experience of the author in working with a group of voluntary organizations in Swindon, England, to change policy makers' perspectives regarding the evaluation of local voluntary work. The focus is on how the author's applied research strategy contributed to policy change in Swindon. In the end, the ethnographic perspective in which this project was conducted became a vital tool for empowering local groups to d…
