Youth Movements and Generational Politics, 19th-21st Centuries
Restoring Social Theorists of Color to the Canon
Children in Social Movements
Children’s participation in social movements is presented through a theoretical typology consisting of strategic participants, participants by default and active participants. This range of participation accounts for the social location of children historically and internationally, calling for their inclusion into social movement research. Children are unresearched and untheorized participants within social movement literature. Providing rich det…
Local Chapter Outposts
Although there has been a significant shift toward decentralized forms of social movement organizations (SMOs), the federated form is still quite active and deserves further study. In particular, the role of the local chapter in relation to its national office can be explored from new angles for additional insights into federated SMOs. I address the specific issue of isolation that is problematic for some chapters of federated SMOs. I consider th…
Historic Preservation
Social justice and housing issues are clearly an area of concern for sociologists, yet preservation of older homes and buildings may seem to be the very antithesis, evoking images of homes of the nation’s elite or neighborhood gentrification by the white upper middle class. Often preserved historic sites do not fully represent members of the community, past or present. Despite increasing efforts at inclusion, marginalization of groups can still b…
The Epistemic Culture of Homebrewers and Microbrewers
Homebrewing and microbrewing have been growing in popularity during the last few decades. One way this phenomenon can be analyzed is through the culture of knowledge production. We use the subfield of science and technology studies (STS) to examine homebrewing and microbrewing in this light. Early STS was interested in the social construction of scientific facts within daily practices of scientists. Through these early studies, STS revealed not o…
Commemorating alternative organizations and marginalized spaces
Alternative organizations have become increasingly of interest in organizational theory. Previously understudied, these organizations have also been ignored or forgotten in the dominant narratives and spaces of commemoration. This further limits what we know about the past and the potential of alternative organizations. To illustrate this problem, we offer a specific case study of the forgotten alternative organizations and marginalized space of …
Insects, instincts and boundary work in early social psychology
Insects factored as ‘symbols of instinct’, necessary as a rhetorical device in the boundary work of early social psychology. They were symbolically used to draw a dividing line between humans and animals, clarifying views on instinct and consciousness. These debates were also waged to determine if social psychology was a subfield of sociology or psychology. The exchange between psychologist James Mark Baldwin and sociologist Charles Abram Ellwood…

The Trouble With Thinking Like Arena
Simulation software used for modeling has become as ubiquitous as computers themselves. Despite growing reliance on simulation in educational and workplace settings, users encounter frustration in using simulation software programs. The authors conducted a study with 26 engineering students and interviewed them about their experience learning the simulation software Arena for optimization modeling. These students experienced frustration with the …

The Use of the Talmudic Format for the Presentation of Qualitative Research
In this article, I propose to adapt the Talmud, a Jewish religious text, for the written representation of qualitative research. The form and the style of argumentation in and engendered by the Talmud can be adapted to present qualitative methods in a way that transcends the limitations of conventional formats. In addition, this format requires even greater participation in the act of reading. Because the Talmudic format uniquely addresses the di…
The Stigmatizers and the Stigmatized
Toward the end of the semester in my deviance classes, I have the students take part in an exercise, which synthesizes various themes from the readings and lectures and reinforces the overall concept of the social construction of deviance we have discussed throughout the semester (Becker 1963; Conrad 1993; Heckert and Best 1997). Rather than present a lecture on the topic, I first began utilizing this exercise as a way to vividly illustrate socia…
Radical Social Movement Organizations
In this article we contend that social movement theory has predominantly analyzed social movement organizations (SMOs) from a reform perspective, emphasizing movement participants' demands to be recognized by, and incorporated into, the dominant culture. While for many SMOs this has certainly been the case, we argue that it is an inadequate model for the study of radical social movement organizations (RSMOs). When we look at RSMO participants' se…
