Chippewa Spearfishing, Lake Property Owner/Anglers, and Tourism-A Case Study of Environmental Social Conflict
This article explores ethnic relations surrounding an environmental issue by focusing on Chippewa spearfishing in northern Wisconsin and its impact on local lake property owner/anglers, merchants, fishing guides, and Department of Natural Resources representatives. Tourism has suffered since court rulings have legalized off-reservation spearfishing. These court rulings recognize Chippewa treaty rights going back to 1837. The walleye, a prized fis…
Grass-Roots Power Through Internet Technology--The Case of the Crandon Mine
This article focuses on the proposed Crandon Mine, an underground zinc and copper mine in northern Wisconsin, to demonstrate the effectiveness of Internet technology (ITECH) for resource mobilization of environmental opposition activities. Permitting of the mine has been successfully battled for over 20 years by a diverse collection of opposition members from Wisconsin and around the world. Mine ownership has changed frequently, engineering plans…
Job relocation, sources of stress, and sense of home
The social impact of job relocation on families is explored in this research. Based on interviews with 60 persons, who also share the experiences of spouses and children, this study suggests that job relocation is potentially harmful to families. Those who relocate initially experience two varieties of stress: operational stress, resulting from the new job and setting-up activities in the new community, and emotional stress resulting from family-…
Durkheim's 'Heroic Suicide' in Military Combat
Durkheim's neglected concept, heroic suicide, was explored using Congressional Medal of Honor data. All cases meeting the criteria for heroic altruistic suicide in military combat (n=125) were selected for analysis. Both qualitative and quantitative content analysis procedures were used and the usefulness of the combined approach is demonstrated. This research supports Durkheim's claims that altruistic suicide would be higher among non-commission…

Occupational stress and suicide among dentists
The focus of this research is to better understand occupational stress within the dental profession and how this may contribute to why dentists as an occupational group may have such a high incidence of suicide. Attention is given to the socially related working conditions that dentists encounter and the occupational role demands they face. Data are based upon 25 in‐depth, unstructured interviews with dentists from a large mid‐western city. The f…

Fabricating the self: The socialization of fashion models
This research focuses on the occupational socialization of women fashion models. Observation, unstructured interviews, and questionnaires with an open‐ended format were used as research tools to understand the process of socialization and the work demands of modeling from the perspective of modeling students and accomplished models. It is suggested that the sustained fabrication exhibited by models can provide insight for better understanding pub…

Women Truckers' Problems and the Impact of Sponsorship
Women who drive tractor-trailer rigs face many of the same problems encountered by women pursuing other nontraditional occupations. However, our research, conducted through an open-ended questionnaire, showed that the extent of these tensions is less than expected, due largely to the influence of male support, sponsorship, and protection

The social ecology of skid row
Using a sociocultural ecological model the social structure and ter‐ritoriality of the skid row in a midwestern city was examined. Results suggest that the various groups inhabiting skid row can be hierarchically ordered according to social status and that uses of the territory varies greatly among component groups. Results also support the use of sociocultural ecology as a model for analyzing skid row and probable effects of changes imposed on s…

Becoming a Journeyman Electrician: Some Implicit Indicators in the Apprenticeship Process
Tools, costume, and jargon are used as implicit indicators of the occupational socialization process for a sample of apprentice construction electricians (195). The data support the notion that occupational identification increases in a linear fashion as the apprentice moves through a five-year program toward journeyman status

Mistakes at Work' the Social Organization of Error in Building Construction Work
Worker mistakes are shown to be a routine and inevitable part of building construction work. Buildings emerge out of a context of accumulated mistakes which take on an irreversible continuity in the process. Consumers (and taxpapers) unknowingly accept these products that may be permeated with many hidden, unanticipated future problems. Four varieties of mistakes are delineated as are the various management techniques employed by workers for deal…
