  • Polarization in Support for Anti-Muslim Policies in the United States from 2002 to 2019

    C P Scheitle, Brenton Kalinowski et al.ARTICLESociology of Islam2025References: 14

    Muslim Americans have faced periods of heightened hostility, particularly in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and, more recently, during the presidency of Donald Trump. Yet, dynamics driving this hostility and the ways individuals might draw boundaries across different time periods is not well understood. We begin to address these data gaps using measures of U.S. adults’ support for anti-Muslim policies appearing in separate surveys in 2002…

  • Wakanda forever! Consistency in correlates of black nationalist tendencies

    Open AccessT N Brown, Quintin Gorman et al.ARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2024References: 21

    Objective: This study investigates correlates of black nationalist tendencies , defined as endorsing sentiments consistent with black nationalism. Black nationalism is an ideology that advocates for cultural, economic, political, and social separatism, and/or community autonomy and self‐reliance as survival tactics. Warrant for this study arises from the opinion black nationalism is an anachronism—a throwback to the 1920s, late 1960s, or early 19…

  • How American Am I

    Open AccessJauhara FergusonARTICLEDu Bois Review Social Science…2024References: 51

    Much sociological attention has focused on Black identity within the United States. Less attention, however, has been given to understanding how immigrant and native-born streams of U.S. Black Muslims articulate American identity. In this study I ask: how do second-generation Black American Muslims and indigenous Black American Muslims compare in the ways they narrate connections among race, American identity, and Islam? Using data from thirty-on…

  • Fear of Religious Hate Crime Victimization and the Residual Effects of Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia

    Open AccessC P Scheitle, Christopher Scheitle et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2023

    An individual’s fear of hate crime victimization might be partially explained by direct experiences that influence their assessment of victimization risk. In some cases, though, fear of hate crime victimization is driven not by direct, personal experiences, but by historical and contemporary trauma suffered by those holding the targeted status. Using data from the 2019 nationally representative Experiences with Religious Discrimination Study (ERD…

  • Religion, Race, and Perceptions of Police Harassment

    Open AccessJauhara Ferguson, C P Scheitle et al.ARTICLESocial Problems2023Cited by: 4References: 33

    Research examining how race and ethnic locations shape perceptions of the police is well-established. Yet there is little research examining how religion shapes individuals' experiences with police. This study examines the influence of race and religion on U.S. adults' reported experiences with police harassment due to their religion. We find that, independent of race and ethnicity, Muslim adults are significantly more likely to report police har…

  • Navigating Religion Online

    Open AccessJauhara Ferguson, E H Ecklund et al.ARTICLEReligions2021

    Although social media use among religious communities is proliferating, significant gaps remain in our understanding of how religious minorities perceive social media in relation to their faith and community. Thus, we ask how individuals use religion to frame moral attitudes around social media for Jews and Muslims. Specifically, how does social media shape understandings of community? We analyze 52 interviews with Jews and Muslims sampled from H…

  • A Pilot Assessment of How Muslim Scientists Perceive Inclusion in the Scientific Workplace

    Jauhara Ferguson, E H EcklundARTICLESociology of Islam2021

    Much of the social science literature on how religious and scientific communities relate to one another is focused on the relationship Christian communities have to science in the US and to a lesser extent the UK. Our pilot research begins to address this gap by studying Muslim scientists, a key group of actors who are important to understanding the social implications of global discussions about religion and science. We ask: How do Muslim scient…
