Populism, Anti‐Intellectualism, and Political Performance
Drawing on a large corpus of political rhetoric that encompasses 21 US presidential campaigns between 1952 and 2020, this article provides a sociological account of the politician's anti‐intellectual performance. To exact the dynamics of this understudied performance, I compare frames on intellectualism put forth by populist and non‐populist candidates on both the political left and right. In order to distance themselves from the intellectually e…
Right-Wing Populism, Religion, and Civilizational Identity
In recent years, Christian language and symbols have played an increasingly prominent role in right-wing populist rhetoric across many western countries. The form of religious expression in right-wing populist rhetoric corresponds to the kind of religiousness that characterizes the contextual factors under which rhetorical communication occurs. In making this case, this article analyzes salient themes found in speeches, interviews, and manifesto …
Differentiated Threat and Religious Dominance
Drawing on theories of differentiated threat and religious dominance, this article examines the dynamics of xenophobia and Islamophobia in the United States. Specifically, we analyze the distinct threats that immigrants and Muslims pose to groups of various religious identifications. We find that (1) Muslims are perceived as carrying an ideational threat, but not a materialist threat, and (2) immigrants are perceived as carrying a materialist thr…
Luther and Jessie Bernard
This article discusses the works and continued relevance of Luther (1881-1951) and Jessie Bernard (1903-1996). The two sociologists devoted themselves to providing a unique and comprehensive history of positivist developments in American sociology. Although the Bernards' historical research has been almost entirely forgotten, their work shed light on important intellectual conflicts, the effects of which can be felt in sociological discourse toda…
The Noncitizen Penalty in U.S. Federal Courts
Previous literature has found that noncitizens are punished in U.S. federal courts more severely than U.S. citizens for offenses that are legally equivalent, though less is known about variation in the noncitizen effect depending on the defendant’s nation of citizenship. Using United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) federal courts data from 2018 to 2020, we analyze group differences in the noncitizen penalty across regions of national origin. …
The Future of Historical Consciousness in Sociology
Perceived Threat, Reactive Identification, and Religious Change
In this article, I integrate symbolic threat dynamics into a theoretical discussion of religious change. Specifically, this article demonstrates how symbolic threat can lead to increases in salient collective characteristics among members of the threatened group. To make this case, I examine the religious and historical idiosyncrasies of East and West Germany. In the context of East Germany, I find a dramatic reduction in religious activity among…
