Discipline and Field: Some Thoughts on the Relationship Between Political Science and Law and Society
The relationship between political science and sociolegal scholarship is, at it’s best, a constitutive one. This essay argues that the two fields of study have taken turns illuminating important aspects of law, politics, and social life – responding, in turn, to the theoretical and empirical findings of each other. Law and Society scholarship, in particular, presses political scientists to rethink their foundational assumptions about the rule of …

Process is insufficient: A reply to Cote Hampson and McNulty
This reply explores the implications raised by a scholarly conversation among the pieces by Cramer, Cote Hampson, and McNulty in this special issue of Global Discourse. Cramer's piece argues that midwives and women living in states where home births are legally attended by Certified Professional Midwives continue to experience confusion about legal status, and chilling social approbation that constrains access to reproductive choice.

Guarding Our Borders with Gardasil: Immigrant Women and Physical Autonomy
The invisibility of immigrant women's health care and justice needs, which are directly related to the triple oppression they face and intersectional identities they hold, is highlighted by the silence surrounding a requirement that they be immunized against cervical cancer with the controversial vaccination, Gardasil. Such a requirement was the unintended consequence of a statutory mandate colliding with an agency recommendation, and it dispropo…

Sharing in Community While Interviewing “Outlaws”: Methodological Opportunities and Challenges
This article examines the issue of gaining access while doing interpretive work, when the participants sought desire to remain hidden from public view, are not elites, nor outspoken social movement activists, and are not living in a geographically cohesive community. It grows from my research on homebirth midwifery, which has brought me into contact with a group of women who call themselves (some proudly, others sheepishly), “outlaws” and “underg…

Perceptions of the Process: Indian Gaming as it Affects Federal Tribal Acknowledgment Law and Practices
Ethnographic and archival research show that, while gaming has proven to be a highly effective development strategy, it has also given rise to backlash against, and suspicion towards, Indian groups seeking recognition of their tribal status.
