The Politics of Grief and Mourning
Using data from an ethnographic study of U.S. antiwar activism during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this article draws lessons for reinvigorating the anti-nuclear movement and making it successful. By examining the roles of emotions in the military peace movement, this work illuminates their power to mobilize and maintain activism in movements more broadly. Grief, particularly when displayed in culturally expected ways, offers an important ca…

Using Sociological Images to Develop the Sociological Imagination
We present a two-assignment series that developed students’ sociological imaginations and that could be done in a face-to-face or online course. The series used the Sociological Images blog and students’ own visual images (e.g., photographs) to meet course learning goals: (1) link sociological theories and concepts to social events/trends, (2) apply these ideas to real life by identifying sociologically relevant images in daily life, and (3) comm…

Women enlarged the U.S. peace move…

These discourses hold enormous sway over the American public because of the discursive legacies of the Vietnam War and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In response, members of the peace movement who are veterans, soldiers, and military families stress their military identities during activism. These individuals h…
Girl fights
This article looks at girls who fight in order to evaluate theories of education for marginalized girls. As oppositional culture and educational resistance theories suggest for boys’ misconduct in school, girl fights are found to be a product of deindustrialization, family expectations, and peer culture. Within peer groups of marginalized students an oppositional culture develops such that girls gain respect from their peers by fighting because t…
