The Effects of Opportunity to Learn, Family Socioeconomic Status, and Friends on the Rural Math Achievement Gap in High School
Research has shown that rural high school students in the United States (and elsewhere) have lower academic achievement than their nonrural counterparts. The evidence for why this inequality exists is unclear, however. The present study takes up this issue with a narrowing of the focus. Using the database of the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002-2004, the author investigates reasons for the rural achievement gap in mathematics during the las…
Are Rural Schools Inferior to Urban Schools? A Multilevel Analysis of School Accountability Trends in Kentucky
Recent research does not provide clear evidence that rural schools are inferior to urban schools. For example, one prominent study finds that students in rural schools perform less well than their urban counterparts, but other studies using the same national data set have reached divergent conclusions. The present study reassesses the issue using a time series approach to school performance. We investigate the effects of location on school-level …
Student Poverty, School Accountability, and Postsecondary Enrollment: A Challenge for Educational Reform in Kentucky
The Kentucky Educational Reform Act of 1990 promised improved academic performance by public schools and greater equity in educational outcomes. The present study relates postsecondary enrollment to school accountability-testing and student poverty. It concludes that nearly a decade after reform began, high schools with large numbers of poor students send a smaller proportion of their graduates to college than do high schools with fewer poor stud…

Power, resistance, and the cult of Muslim saints in a northern Egyptian town
Practice theory is employed to analyze the cult of Muslim saints. Unlike much of the previous work by anthropologists on this topic, the present study has an urban, rather than rural and tribal, ethnographic locus. A major finding is that privileged as well as nonprivileged individuals use the cult for ideological discourse and dramaturgy. This has seminal implications for understanding the relation of power to resistance. An unobtrusive form of …
Anonymity and the Rise of Universal Occasions for Religious Ritual: An Extension of the Durkheimian Theory
Edward B. Reeves, Robert A. Bylund, Anonymity and the Rise of Universal Occasions for Religious Ritual: An Extension of the Durkheimian Theory, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Vol. 31, No. 2 (Jun., 1992), pp. 113-130

Social Density and Public Ritual in Non-Industrial Communities
An implication of Durkheimian theory—that different types of rites and the elaborateness of public rituals are determined by social density—is empirically tested, using data available for 183 non-industrial communities derived from Murdock's Standard Cross-Cultural Sample. Support for the hypothesis is sustained even when alternative predicting variables are added. Contrary to social evolutionist theory, an increase in the division of labor does …
