‘She who must not be named’
We examine how Harry Potter fans negotiate their identities after the author, J. K. Rowling, wrote multiple transphobic posts on X. We answer the questions of (1) whether Rowling’s social media posts about gender impacted fans’ identities and behaviour and, if so, (2) what factors relate to fans’ choices to remain a fan. We present findings from survey data collected between 2022 and 2023. Using t-tests and logistic regression, we analyse changes…
Beyond Race, Gender, and Class
Monopoly simulations have long been used in sociology classrooms to demonstrate sociological concepts, with early versions centering social stratification and class inequality. Since then, scholars have adapted the game to explore race, gender, deviance, globalization, and intersectionality. Yet, most still conceptualize gender as binary, focus on race/class/gender alone, and overlook other intersectional identities. Our Intersectional Monopoly e…
She Who Must Not Be Scammed
It's embarrassing to come here”
Neoliberal discourse about achievement impacts our cultural expectations for how people on welfare “should” feel regarding work, motivation, and shame. In this paper, we build on the literature on emotions, work, and inequality by examining the embeddedness of feeling rules in welfare‐to‐work programs. We analyze interviews with Ohio Works First cash assistance program managers in Ohio counties ( n = 69) to understand how managers emphasize emoti…
Victim-Blaming in Disguise? Supervisors' Accounts of Problems in Healthcare Delivery
When 'Best I Can' is Not Enough
The 'mommy wars' are a cultural narrative of conflict between mothers that amplifies the scrutiny placed on mothering practices. While mothers at all social locations face criticisms for their choices surrounding parenting, mothers in poverty lack the resources to enact many socially mandated parenting practices and contend with additional scrutiny through participation in programs like welfare-to-work. In this project, I examine the parenting ex…
Spatial Variation in U.S. Labor Markets and Workplace Gender Segregation
Many studies of workplace inequality have examined why workplace gender segregation still exists and how gender segregation affects workplaces (Cohen, Huffman, and Knauer 2009 Work and Occupations 36(4):318; Huffman, Cohen, and Pearlman 2010 Administrative Science Quarterly 55(2):255). Yet, fewer studies have examined how space might affect gender segregation. In this paper, we investigate two types of space, normative space and industrial space,…
Gender composition and share of management
This paper examines how concepts of gendered organizations, tokenism and the glass escalator affect women's share of management. Specifically, we examine how the gender composition of workplaces affects women's share of management in 195,534 workplaces using EEO-1 report data collected from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission from 1980 until 2005. The EEO-1 data allow us to explore the effects of gender composition on women's share of …
Becoming a Good Welfare Manager
Using data from telephone interviews with 69 county welfare-to-work program managers in Ohio, we examine how individuals rely on paternalism and neoliberal ideology to construct themselves as “good workers” through two processes of identity work: oppressive othering and boundary maintenance. Program managers construct themselves as good workers through a process we call “paternalistic oppressive othering” in which managers draw on the dominant op…
A Critical Discourse Analysis of Welfare-to-Work Program Managers' Expectations and Evaluations of Their Clients' Mothering
Dominant ideologies about poverty in the USA draw on personal responsibility and beliefs that a 'culture of poverty' creates and reproduces inequality. As the primary recipients of welfare are single mothers, discourses surrounding welfare are also influenced by dominant ideologies about mothering, namely intensive mothering. Yet, given the centrality of resources to intensive mothering, mothers on welfare are often precluded from enacting this t…
Helpers 'Here on the Front Lines
Using data drawn from telephone interviews with Ohio Works First program managers (N = 69), we examine managers' moral identity work. This work included using militarized rhetoric to evoke moral identities as honorable workers. It also involved signifying helper/helpful moral identities by defining what it means to be helpful, legitimating their helper identity through connections to caseworkers, and affirming their identity through telling succe…
Contrasts and classtalk
Historically, discourse about welfare in the United States has changed from a language of ‘need’ to a culture of ‘dependency’. Adopting ‘dependency’ as a frame to construct the public opinion of welfare, workers help maintain the current punitive welfare state. In this study, we use critical discourse analysis to examine how county program managers in Ohio, USA ( N = 69) use several discursive techniques to legitimate their identities as good wor…
