Love on campus: College students of color, racial identity, and interracial dating
Mourning for Strangers: Black Women, Sequelae, and the Digital Afterlife of Police Violence
Based on 32 in-depth interviews with black women, this paper analyzes the racialized and gendered impact of vicarious exposure to police encounters on social media. We draw from Smith’s (2016) sequelae to describe the lingering effects of anti-black state violence, particularly grief and mourning. For Black women, the manifestation of sequelae from online exposure includes: a) amplification of police brutality, b) identification with victims, c) …
Fighting the Fascists: What Can Sociology Teach Our Students
This essay began as a keynote I delivered at a sociology teaching conference in the summer of 2023. It focuses on my experiences of right-wing harassment and as both a scholar and teacher working in Florida under recent legislation that targets various foundational sociology concepts and challenges various inclusion practices on college campuses. I offer an assessment of these attacks on our academic freedoms and lay out three skills that sociolo…
Unsafe Words: Queering Consent in the #MeToo Era
Queer people may not have invented sex, but queers have long been pioneers in imagining new ways to have it. Yet their voices have been largely absent from the #MeToo conversation. What can queer people learn from the #MeToo conversation? And what can queer communities teach the rest of the world about ethical sex? This provocative book brings together academics, activists, artists, and sex workers to tackle challenging questions about sex, power…

Signifying Aggrieved White Selves: Trump Supporters’ Racial Identity Work
Based on 29 in-depth interviews during the run-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we examine how Trump supporters engaged in a form of identity work that we call signifying aggrieved white selves. Taking an interactionist approach, we demonstrate how they used racial discourse and emotional communication to engage in three distinct forms of racial identity work: (1) othering racialized freeloaders, (2) criminalizing racialized others, and…

(Dis)Owning Exotic: Navigating Race, Intimacy, and Trans Identity
Despite societal shifts making the United States more inclusive, particularly among younger people, transgender people and people of color remain populations that have labels like 'exotic' or 'taboo' associated with them. This article explores the racialized dating experiences of an immigrant trans woman of color who uses online dating platforms to facilitate her dating life in Texas. Given that the existing literature on trans people tends to fo…
Rejecting white distraction: A Critique of the White Logic and White Methods in Academic Publishing
This critical reply engages in a critique of the prominence of "white logic" and "white methods" (Zuberi, Tukufu, and Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, eds. 2008. White Logic, White Methods: Racism and Methodology. Lanham, MA: Rowman & Littlefield) in academic publishing. We assess how the construction and proliferation of white knowledge(s) shapes analysis and interpretation, argumentation, peer review, and ultimately, publication. We call for a rejection …
Color, Culture, or Cousin? Multiracial Americans and Framing Boundaries in Interracial Relationships
Objective:This article analyzes how some multiracial people-the "products" of interracial relationships-conceptualize what counts as an interracial relationship and how they discuss the circumstances that influence these definitions.Background:Scholars have argued that the added complexity expanding multiracial populations contribute to dating and marriage-market conditions requires additional study; this article expands on the limited research r…

‘Your momma is day-glow white’: Questioning the politics of racial identity, loyalty and obligation
This article utilizes discourse analysis and an auto-ethnographic approach to explore the impact of US racial and ethnic categorization on the experiences of an individual marked as ‘mixed-race’ in terms of individual identity and familial/cultural group loyalty and obligation(s). This essay focuses on an incidence of public policing through the popular social networking platform Facebook, centring on the invocation of racial obligation by white …
Does (mixed‐)race matter? The role of race in interracial sex, dating, and marriage
Though sociologists have long focused on the role of race as a dynamic in romantic and sexual relationships, there is currently limited research on the experiences of mixed‐race people and the ways their racial identities may be influencing how people navigate race and/or ethnicity as part of these intimate relationships. Due to the increase in the number of Americans—in both opposite‐sex and same‐sex relationships—reporting partners of a differe…
Dating in the Time of #BlackLivesMatter: Exploring Mixed-race Women's Discourses of Race and Racism
The author explores the discourses and logics that self-identified multiracial and multiethnic female online daters use to explain their own responses to social justice movements around race and racism in the United States. These women mobilize stances on the social movement Black Lives Matter (BLM) as a metric of racial progressiveness, articulating their own political views on race. Furthermore, mixed-black women in particular describe using at…
