Pregnancy Termination Outside the Formal Healthcare System Before Dobbs
Research on abortion outside formal healthcare has focused primarily on self-sourced medication abortion (mifepristone and misoprostol or misoprostol alone). Less is known about how abortion seekers understand other pregnancy-ending practices, including non–evidence-based methods such as herbs, vitamins, alcohol, or physical stress. We examine how abortion seekers in pre-Dobbs Mississippi learned about, evaluated, attempted, or rejected these met…
Avoidance or Pursuit of Crisis Pregnancy Center Resources Among Abortion‐Seeking Clients in Mississippi
While CPCs remain a challenge to reproductive autonomy, many clients, including abortion patients, successfully bypassed or managed their CPC experiences in ways they found beneficial while circumventing CPCs' goals
Perceptions of medication and procedural abortion among medication abortion patients in Mississippi, USA
Drawing upon 46 interviews with respondents who had medication abortions in Mississippi in 2021 or 2022, I explore retrospective perceptions of medication and procedural abortion. Respondents saw medication abortion as akin to a `natural' miscarriage, and offered greater comfort, privacy, and control over both the abortion experience and practical considerations like travel costs. When asked if they would have preferred procedural abortions, resp…
Reorganizations of Gendered Labor During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
Across a range of countries, analysts have found that adaptations to the COVID‐19 pandemic often exacerbated previously existing labor inequalities between men and women in formal employment markets and households. This has been especially true for mothers with children in their households. Drawing on decades of sociological and feminist scholarship on labor, we suggest the following three strategies to strengthen ongoing research concerning pand…
He Does (Not) Care
How right-wing populist politicians do gender has gained increasing attention. Far less consideration has been granted to how citizens assess such politicians’ genders. Using 78 interviews and 662 self-administered questionnaires completed by American adults who were voluntarily producing personal protective equipment in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we analyze respondents’ descriptions of then-President Donald Trump’s responses to the pande…
This was like some Little House on the Prairie shit’
In March 2020 during the first wave of COVID-19 in the United States, the national supply and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) was dangerously underwhelming. Skilled volunteer quilters, sewists and 3D printer enthusiasts emerged in a groundswell of life-saving gendered disaster response, creating face masks, ear savers, and face shields. Making PPE was both tiring and comforting, a distraction from, and solution to, the pandemi…

Volunteer Covid-19 Personal Protective Equipment Makers
In the opening months of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., thousands of volunteer makers stepped up to produce PPE through third sphere labor, volunteer work that emphasizes community maintenance. Drawing on 78 semi-structured interviews and 662 open-ended questionnaires, we consider how third sphere carework could destabilize hierarchies between public, private, and third sphere labor and in the valuation of feminized versus masculinized work. …
Me? A Hero? Gendered Work and Attributions of Heroism among Volunteers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The gendered features of adults' attributions of heroism to themselves and others has received substantially less scholarly attention than the gendered dynamics of media representations of (super)heroes. Utilizing 78 interviews and 569 self-administered questionnaires completed by adults in the United States who were voluntarily making personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic, we show how respondents effectively deployed popular…
Developing and Initially Validating the Youth Mental Health Literacy Scale for Ages 11–14
Despite rising rates of youth mental health disorders and suicides, most youth lack access to accurate, non-stigmatized mental health information. Instead, many describe people with mental illness as violent and incompetent. Mental health literacy aligns with resilience theory. It assumes that youth that have accurate mental health information will have less stigmatized views of mental illness and will be more likely to seek help earlier should m…
Choreographing social reproduction
Feminist scholars explore the gendered aspects of social reproduction within neoliberal contexts where the responsibility for reproducing daily and intergenerational life is shifted onto individuals and civil society groups. Using qualitative data from 665 self‐administered online questionnaires and 78 interviews with individual makers living in the United States who fabricated and distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) in response to th…
Raging Against the “Neoliberal Hellscape”
Do volunteers and civil society groups entrench or subvert neoliberalisation? We contribute to this debate by utilising data from 662 self‐administered questionnaires and 78 semi‐structured interviews with adults who made and distributed personal protective equipment (PPE) in response to a failed federal response to the COVID‐19 pandemic in the USA. The state’s failure to protect Americans angered PPE makers, even as they worked to address PPE sh…
Age-dependent associations among insomnia, depression, and inflammation in nurses
Objective Insomnia and depression have been inconsistently associated with inflammation. Age may be one important moderator of these associations. This study examined associations between insomnia and depression with inflammatory biomarkers in nurses and how these associations varied by age. Design: Participants were 392 nurses ages 18-65 (Mage = 39.54 years ± 11.15, 92% female) recruited from two hospitals. Main outcome measures: Participants co…
Intraindividual Variability in Sleep and Levels of Systemic Inflammation in Nurses
OBJECTIVE: Disturbed sleep is common among nurses and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Inflammation may be one mechanism linking sleep and disease. However, most studies rely on retrospective questionnaires to assess sleep, which fail to account for night-to-night fluctuations in sleep across time (i.e., intraindividual variability [IIV]). We examined prospective associations between mean and IIV in sleep with inflammation markers in n…
Racial Reconciliation or Spiritual Smokescreens
Illness Representations of Pertussis and Predictors of Child Vaccination Among Mothers in a Strict Vaccination Exemption State
Stigma Rituals as Pathways to Activism
In this article we examine stigma construction in "post abortion recovery groups." We extend Goffman's stigma framework by considering how stigma may operate on a continuum through increasingly public stigma rituals as group participants move through four stages: internalization; ingroup membership avowal; reconciliation with outgroup members; and finally, restitution via public activism. We also develop the concept of stigma convergence, noting …
Live like a king, y’all
This paper draws upon interviews with 27 drag kings in the South to examine why individuals perform drag, the range of performance experiences, and how drag kinging challenges dichotomous ideas about gender. We use these interviews to demonstrate the importance of context in understanding the drag king culture. We clearly show that in the South the performance of masculinity in the form of drag differs from other areas of the country. Our finding…
The spread of 'Post Abortion Syndrome' as social diagnosis
Evangelical Underdogs
The evangelical crisis pregnancy center (CPC) movement demonstrates both low rates of success and robust support from evangelicals. I draw upon three theoretical frameworks-subcultural identity, organizational solidarity, and doing religion-to explain this seeming paradox. Data stem from a study of this pro-life/antiabortion movement and include fieldwork observations in seven CPCs, thirty-eight semistructured interviews, and analysis of primary …

The Politics of Local Biology in Transnational Drug Testing
Next to the United States, Japan is the second-largest pharmaceutical market in the world in terms of expenditures. However, the regulatory issues and long clinical testing and approval time for drugs to be marketed in Japan continue to be stumbling blocks for foreign drugs in the Japanese market. In 1998, adoption of the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) E5 guidelines by the United States, European Union, and Japan cleared the way …
Penalties and premiums
The prevalence of gender wage gaps in academic work is well documented, but patterns of advantage or disadvantage linked to marital, motherhood, and fatherhood statuses have been less explored among college and university faculty. Drawing from a nationally representative sample of faculty in the US, we explore how the combined effects of marriage, children, and gender affect faculty salaries in science, engineering and mathematics (SEM) and non-S…
In the Name of the Mother
The majority of crisis pregnancy centers are part of an evangelical pro-life movement, which assumes the assumption that meeting the material and spiritual needs of women with problematic pregnancies will convince them to forgo abortions. The movement is unusual in the evangelical Christian context because the vast majority of lay activists and leaders are women. Furthermore, there are multiple sites of negotiation within the movement indicating …
Equity or Essentialism
Feminist scholars have critically analyzed the effects of sex segregation in numerous social institutions, yet sex-segregated sport often remains unchallenged. Even critics of sex-segregated sport have tended to accept the merits of women-only teams at face value. In this article, we revisit this issue by examining the underlying assumptions supporting women's and girls' teams and explore how they perpetuate gender inequality. Specifically, we an…

State Abortion and Nonmarital Birthrates in the Post-Welfare Reform Era
The impact of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA , or welfare reform) on the economic circumstances of women and children has received substantial research attention, but provisions of the act that attempt to influence women's reproductive behaviors have been much less studied. Provisions of PRWORA encouraged states to intensify efforts to restrict access to abortion and to decrease rates of nonmar…
