What Do We Want? Housing! When Do We Want It? Now!” Building a Social Movement in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and Housing Injustice
Homelessness and housing insecurity are often isolating experiences in the United States, where housing and well-being are constructed as individual responsibilities. In this context, mobilization around housing injustice can be challenging. The authors argue that the intersection of the Black Lives Matter protests, the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, and housing injustice created a powder keg for social action that was capitalized upon by a l…

The new mothers' little helpers: Medicalization, Victimization, and Criminalization of Motherhood via Prescription Drugs
In order to understand the relationship between nonmedical prescription drug use, gender, and crime, interviews were conducted with 40 incarcerated women who self-identified as nonmedical Rx users. Of the women we interviewed, 70% were prescribed Rx drugs from their doctors to aid in recovery from cesarean section childbirth deliveries, treat postpartum depression, or for mental or physical health problems associated with childhood abuse and vict…
Small Hands, Nasty Women, and Bad Hombres: Hegemonic Masculinity and Humor in the 2016 Presidential Election
Given that the president is thought to be the national representative, presidential campaigns often reflect the efforts to define a national identity and collective values. Political humor provides a unique lens through which to explore how identity figures into national politics given that the critique of an intended target is often made through popular cultural scripts that often inadvertently reify the very power structures they seek to subver…
Authenticity as (post-) modern ethics: An analysis of the New York Times' Ethicist column
As (post-) modern institutions multiply and become more abstract and fractured in their ethical prescriptions, individuals must learn navigate ethical ambiguity on their own. One way that this appears to be accomplished is through the pursuit of 'authenticity' within and across specific contexts. Based on a sample of 600 letters published between 2002 and 2014, this article explores the New York Times' Ethicist column as a site where individuals …
Medicalized addiction, self-medication, or nonmedical prescription drug use? How trust figures into incarcerated women's conceptualization of illicit prescription drug use
Multiple Masculinities: Gender Performativity in Soviet Political Humor
This article explores expressions of Russian masculinity in the Russian anekdot-a short humorous (and at times politically subversive) narrative that was highly popular during the late-Soviet era. Although anekdots challenged the legitimacy of Soviet power and highlighted inconsistences between propaganda and reality, they utilize and therefore reinforce categories and concepts of the very social system they contest. In conducting a paired conten…
Experience and Cultural–Repertoire Based Avenues of Trust: An Analysis of Public Trust in Statistical Agencies and their Data
Declining trust in statistical agencies has recently complicated the endeavour to collect high-quality, timely data that are used to inform US policy and practice. Given this context, understanding how respondents choose to trust particular statistical agencies and their products is incredibly important. This article details a series of cognitive interviews (85) and focus groups (3) used to measure how the US public develops trust for statistical…
I am a cheerleader, but secretly I deal drugs' Authenticity through Concealment and Disclosure
Authenticity requires a balance between being true to others and being true to the self. People keep and disclose secrets in order to maintain authenticity contextually within relationships, as well as across contexts through self-reflexive evaluations. Based upon a content and discourse analysis of 1600 submissions to the PostSecret mail-art project, this study explores how secrets are used to manage disparate social, role, and personal identiti…
What is the Shortest Russian Joke? Communism. Russian Cultural Consciousness Expressed Through Soviet Humor
A will to youth: The woman's anti-aging elixir
Cosmetic Surgery
In the postmodern world, the body has transcended its former existence as a fixed, immutable object, into something that is pliable, something with the potential for the subject inside to manipulate as a means of self‐expression. At the same time though, the body remains a site where truths are inscribed by various disciplinary institutions, labeled and categorized as normal or pathological, healthy or diseased (Foucault 1977). As such, cosmetic …
