Cultural Sociology and the Politics of Canonization
This article offers a regional spotlight introduction to Anglo-Canadian cultural sociology. The question of what makes Canada unique has long preoccupied Canadian writers, artists, and policy makers, and is central to scholarly debates about Canadian sociology’s position relative to British, American, and other national sociologies, as well as the need for decolonization and diversification of the disciplinary canon. As a subfield, Anglo-Canadian…
Masters of None? How Cultural Workers Use Reframing to Achieve Legitimacy in Portfolio Careers
This article examines how cultural workers interpret and respond to reputational challenges they encounter when leading portfolio careers. Specifically, the portfolio career model involves the cultivation and signalling of adaptability through broad competencies and diverse portfolios comprised of boundary-spanning work.

Bourdieu’s Uneven Influence on Anglophone Canadian Sociology
Pierre Bourdieu is one of the most influential and widely cited figures in anglophone Canadian sociology. Since the first decade of the twenty-first century, in particular, his theories have guided research in areas such as the sociology of culture, education, social theory, social networks, and social capital. This chapter presents a content analysis of journal articles to better understand Bourdieu’s influence on anglophone Canadian sociology. …

Gender inequality is common in cultural industries, including in the fashion industry, where women far outnumber men. How does the social organization of cultural work shape this inequality? This question is examined using 62 in-depth interviews with women and men creative workers in the fashion industry. I examine how gendered organizational logics are embedded in entrepreneurial labor practices and passionate work norms, both of which are commo…
From Porter to Bourdieu
How has English Canadian sociology changed from 1966 to 2014? Has it become more intellectually fragmented or cohesive over time? We answer these questions by analyzing cocitation networks extracted from 7,141 sociology articles published in 169 journals. We show how the most central early specialties developed largely in response to John Porter's The Vertical Mosaic . In later decades, the discipline diversified, fragmented, and then reorganized…
The Glass Runway
Fashion design is a feminized occupation, but there is a widespread perception that gay male designers are advantaged in receiving awards, publicity, and praise. This article develops the notion of a 'glass runway' to explain this inequality. First, using design canons and lists of award recipients, I show that men, especially gay men, receive more consecration than women. Second, I show how men and women are consecrated differently by analyzing …
