Cracks within capitalism
The United States is currently in the fourth decade of an ongoing, and worsening, affordable housing crisis, due in part to neoliberal financialization and the retrenchment of social safety net programs.

Meanwhile, low-income renters and other marginalized people have engaged in strategic resistance and activism, d…
How Cultural Environments Shape Online Sentiment Toward Social Movements
This study explores the relationship between offline and online contexts in social movement discourse. We test whether local place character—the cultural reputations, values, and ideals associated with a particular location—predict support for feminism expressed on Twitter. Applying topic modeling to a unique corpus describing cities’ cultural reputations, we identify five cultural attributes of U.S. cities that constitute their place character. …
Not additive, not defined

We could not easily answer this question in the usual way - by reading books and articles about it - because the term has not received direct, widespread or sustained engagement in feminist theory.

How are exclusive spac…
Predicting Ambivalence
Despite Americans' growing acceptance of LGBTQ people and their sexual behaviors over the past 40 years, approximately 10% of the population consistently expresses conflicted feelings, reporting that same-sex sex is only sometimes wrong. This research employs a theory of socially structured ambivalence to examine how individuals with ambivalence toward the morality of same-sex sex differ from those with strong moral stances. Using multinomial reg…
