Sociology of Death and the American Indian
Immigration Coverage in the Black Press and the General Audience Press: What Can Mixed Methods Reveal about Race and Immigration?
This paper has two aims. First, we apply Bourdieu’s field theory to investigate media discourse on race and immigration, demonstrating how features of news organizations influence news content. Second, we compare contemporary natural language processing (NLP) techniques with qualitative hand-coding. Extending a previous study, we compare newspaper articles from the mainstream and black press in Atlanta. We find significant differences in both wor…

The Institutionalization of Kübler-Ross’s Five-Stage Model of Death and Dying
Kübler-Ross’s five-stage model of death and dying—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—is one of the most popular theoretical models to come out of the 20th century. How did an obscure theory of the dying process come to dominate our understanding of emotional processes altogether? Building on previous work in the sociology of knowledge, I analyze the diffusion and institutionalization of Kübler-Ross’s five-stage model in scienti…

In this study, I document the changing language of pastoral care by analyzing over seventy years of academic articles in theJournal of Pastoral Care and Counseling(N= 4,054) using structural topic modeling. Ultimately, I reveal a linguistic shift from the universal to …
Information-seeking in the Wake of Tragedy: An Examination of Public Response to Mass Shootings Using Google Search Data
Mass shootings are a highly visible form of violence in the United States, although public response to these events varies considerably. Drawing on social problems and collective threat perception literature, we use search data for all Google-using Americans following mass shootings since 2004 to examine how event attributes such as the number of victims, venue, and type of weapon(s) predict public information-seeking related to gun control and g…
Text Analysis with JSTOR Archives
I provide a visual representation of keyword trends and authorship for two flagship sociology journals using data from JSTOR's Data for Research repository. While text data have accompanied the digital spread of information, it remains inaccessible to researchers unfamiliar with the required preprocessing. The visualization and accompanying code encourage widespread use of this source of data in the social sciences
