Teaching Associates
Faculty members and graduate student instructors (GSIs) spend a significant portion of their time in the classroom. Much of the literature calls for formal training for graduate students in pedagogy and teaching techniques (DeCesare 2003), and increasing attention has been paid to the benefits of informal supports for GSIs, such as peer networks. But scholars have paid far less attention to examining how formal and informal mechanisms of support …
Making Men in Gay Fraternities
This article examines gay men's efforts to break into the exclusive traditional fraternity institution by adopting the hegemonic model on their own terms.

We contend that DLP's collective identity, paradoxical in nature, was a produ…

Further analysis shows how fraternity men contribute to the collective sexual reputation and control women i…
Bringing Women In, Keeping Women Down

This study analyzes the structures and dynamics of these groups with attention to how they reflect, create, and institutionalize gender inequality. The data come from participant observation, open-ended depth interviews, official reports and documents, newspaper articles, and a survey of 110 un…
