Little Baby’s gone to Heaven’: A Mixed-Methods Study of Black Children’s Survival Disadvantage in Jim Crow-Era Arkansas
Nearly all US Black children born before 1910 were born in the American South. We use a mixed-methods design to examine Black children’s survival disadvantage over the twentieth century’s turn under the rising regime of Jim Crow. We focus on 1910 Arkansas, taking advantage of within-state heterogeneity in agriculture (plantation vs. subsistence farming), disease environments, and geographic racial concentration (macro-segregation). This one-state…
How the Struggle for Public Health in the Jim Crow South Reflected and Reinforced Systemic Racial Health Inequality
The twenty-first century COVID-19 epidemic revealed a U.S. public health system that countenanced health inequities and a U.S. public that resisted disease containment policies. This crisis, however, was only the most recent chapter in a longer struggle in the United States to institutionalize public health. We focus on two early twentieth-century public health campaigns in the American South, the unhealthiest U.S. region at the time. Black south…
Women in Frontier Arkansas: Settlement in a Post-Reconstruction Racial State
Arkansas was a demographic frontier after the U.S. Civil War. Despite marked agricultural land deforestation and development after the 1870s, it remained agrarian well into the twentieth century. We fuse life course and racial state frameworks to examine Black and White women's settlement in Arkansas over the post-Civil War period (1880-1910). A racial state empowers residents and enacts policies based on race rather than equal citizenship rights…
The Question of Participation: Toward Authentic Public Participation in Public Administration
This chapter examines the question of the necessity or desirability of more effective participation by reviewing the literature in United States public administration and identifies the relevant contemporary issues for both administrators and citizens. It discusses the strategies for overcoming the barriers, and suggests implications for the practice of public administration and citizenship. The chapter organizes around the themes that emerged fr…
Here's looking at her: An Intersectional Analysis of Women, Power and Feminism in Film
While feminist film scholars have considered what makes a film feminist, we explore this question from a feminist sociological perspective with an emphasis on power and women in film. We take an intersectional approach to explore gender, race, ethnicity and social class in films about women. We draw from Amy Allen’s conception of power as the interrelated triad of domination (power-over), empowerment/resistance (power-to), and solidarity (power-w…
Drawn to the Land: Women’s Life Course Consequences of Frontier Settlement over Two North Dakotan Land Booms, 1878–1910
We introduce a life course, multimethod approach to examine the living arrangements of middle-aged and older American Indian and European women living on the rugged North Dakotan settlement frontier around 1910. Our model suggests that women’s later life circumstances reflect the long arm of institutional forces and their ethnicity/nativity, which anchors resource advantages and disadvantages (access to land, rail, and markets) and confers gender…

No Matter What Has Been Done Wrong Can Always Be Redone Right”: Spirituality in the Lives of Imprisoned Battered Women
In this article, the authors explore the religious and spiritual experiences and beliefs of incarcerated battered women who killed abusive intimate partners or (step)fathers. Through in-depth interviews with 12 imprisoned battered women, the authors examine the role that religion and spirituality played in the women's lives before and during their incarceration. Regardless of their religious upbringing, most had what they described as spiritual e…
Doing Sociology to Make a Difference: Commitment, Values, and the Promised Land
L'A. nous livre ses reflexions sur la sociologie comme science pure, depourvue de tout interet mercantile, en citant l'ecrivain Octavia Butler ou les sociologues Max Weber, Dorothy Smith, Michael Burawoy ... Elle s'interroge sur la pratique de la sociologie et la facon de faire la connexion entre la production des connaissances, action transformative et les moments critiques de l'histoire. Elle insiste sur les politiques de la production des conn…
The Economic Resource Receipt of New Mothers
U.S. federal policies do not provide a universal social safety net of economic support for women during pregnancy or the immediate postpartum period but assume that employment and/or marriage will protect families from poverty. Yet even mothers with considerable human and marital capital may experience disruptions in employment, earnings, and family socioeconomic status postbirth. We use the National Survey of Families and Households to examine t…

The Woman is Not Always the Bad Guy”: Dominant Discourse and Resistance in the Lives of Battered Women
Feminist scholars promote an advocacy and social change approach that is rooted in centering women's knowledge and suggestions for change. This article centers and analyzes suggestions made by women staying in shelters for women who have been battered and explores the ways their perspectives reflect individualized or structural discourse and their solutions concentrate needs at the level of survival, equality, or transformation. The article finds…

Women and power in sociology: SWS as an arena of change
This article explores the ways that the feminist organization Sociologists for Women in Society (SWS) has become an arena of change in the discipline of sociology, academic institutions, and larger society. We begin with an examination of feminist models of power and change, followed by a brief history of SWS and an exploration of the use of power in sociology, academia, and beyond. We find that SWS has influenced both the organizational governan…
