Mobilizing Potential: Pathways to Engaged Citizenship
Conventional wisdom assumes that people participate in democracy because they care about politics. However, this is not always the case. This article illustrates how civic associations mobilize diverse publics to participate in democracy, even when individuals lack prior politicization (political knowledge, interest, and efficacy). This article draws on 550 hours of ethnographic fieldwork across four years and in-depth interviews with 90 members …
Making Political Citizens: How Student-Centered Social Movement Organizations Facilitate Political Learning
How do civic associations facilitate political socialization? How and why might some activists become more “politicized” than others? This article builds on longstanding efforts to answer these age-old questions, using student-centered social movement organizations (SMOs) as a window into the political socialization process. Drawing on 550 hours of ethnographic fieldwork across four years and in-depth interviews with 90 members of two organizatio…
Manufacturing January 6: How Republican County Parties Mobilized Anger to Promote #StopTheSteal
The #StopTheStealMovement, which culminated in the January 6 attack, was part of a coordinated, months-long campaign to convince the public that the 2020 election was stolen through fraud and that Donald Trump had won. The dominant narrative of how this movement emerged is a national one, with Donald Trump at the center. However, we show how state and local political institutions, events, and actors-in this case, county Republican parties on Face…
Pandemic Housing: The Role of Landlords, Social Networks, and Social Policy in Mitigating Housing Insecurity During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article uses a subsample of low-income American Voices Project respondents who rent their homes to examine how households coped with housing insecurity at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. First, some renters reported more housing stability because of the expansion of existing programs. However, access to and distribution of these resources was uneven. Second, renters continued to rely on social ties to secure housing but the interpersonal…
Placement experiences as identity work: Crafting Fit With Professional Possibilities
Placement as a form of work-integrated learning is a valued element of undergraduate education. Prior work explores how placement provides a site for developing professional values, skills and competences as well as identifying how students build awareness of professional requirements. Greater focus on how such processes of awareness are realised, negotiated and enacted is still required. This study frames student placement experiences as enablin…
Understanding Trump Supporters’ News Use: Beyond the Fox News Bubble
Since the 2016 election, the relationship between Trump supporters and Fox News has gained considerable attention. Drawing on interviews with more than 200 people and a representative survey conducted in the state of Wisconsin, we dive deeper into the media habits of Trump supporters using a mixed methods analytical approach. While we do not refute the importance of Fox News in the conservative media ecology, we find that characterizing Trump sup…
