Strategic familismo: How Hispanic/Latine students negotiate family values and their stem careers
Hispanic/Latine young adults remain severely under-represented in STEM fields. While structural barriers contributing to these disparities have been thoroughly examined in previous research, the current study brings focus to the strategies young adults employ to navigate the incongruence between the cultures of higher education and STEM and the cultural value of "familismo," a central orientation in Latin American cultures that prioritizes family…
Hispanic/Latinx STEM Majors Applying to Graduate School: The Role of Family, Peers, and Undergraduate Research Programs in Facilitating Community Cultural Wealth
This paper examines the critical transition from undergraduate to graduate biomedical education and focuses on Hispanic/Latinx students who participated in a biomedical undergraduate research program at a Hispanic-Serving Institution located on the US-Mexico border. We use the community cultural wealth (CCW) framework (Yosso, 2005) to analyze 13 qualitative interviews about students' experiences applying to graduate school in biomedical fields an…
You’re always fighting to be recognized’: A young blind man’s journey of upward mobility and intersectional activism
The author presents a case study of an in-depth interview conducted with David, a young blind man who has faced multiple and interacting forms of inequity. David’s experiences of blindness have carved out a path of upward economic mobility, as he gained cultural capital through a blind person’s organization in the United States. In addition, David’s experience of developing a political perspective on his disability was formative in shaping his pr…
Disability at the intersections
Complete and accurate understandings of stratification depend on more regular consideration of disability. To build sociologists' recognition of disability as a socially constructed axis of stratification, we first demonstrate the construction of the disability category through classic legitimating processes: moral attributions, biological attributions, separation, and dichotomization. Expanding understandings of basic processes of stratification…
I’ve never felt like that inhibits anything’: The gendered frameworks of Hispanic women college students in a STEM program
Under-represented women of color in the STEM pipeline face myriad structural and cultural challenges in these male-dominated fields. Given this context, it is important to examine how these young women employ gendered discourses as they navigate their STEM majors. We report findings from interviews with 16 Hispanic women college students participating in a competitive STEM program at a Hispanic-serving university. These college students employed …
Race and Disability: From Analogy to Intersectionality
Sociologists are using intersectional lenses to examine an increasingly wider range of processes and identities, yet the intersection of race and disability remains a particularly neglected area in sociology. Marking an important step toward filling this gap, the authors interrogate how race and disability have been deployed as analogy in both disability rights activism and in critical race discourse. The authors argue that the "minority model" f…
The Double Edge of Legitimacy: How Women with Disabilities Interpret Good Mothering
Modern ideologies of “good mothering” demand the resources and family configurations primarily available to privileged mothers, and mothers with disabilities are among those women who have been regarded as unsuitable for the responsibilities demanded of mothers in advanced industrial societies. Although less often explored than dynamics of race and class, mothers with disabilities are among those women who have been regarded as unsuitable for the…
Visibility, respectability, and disengagement: The everyday resistance of mothers with disabilities
Risky Mothers and the Normalcy Project: Women with Disabilities Negotiate Scientific Motherhood
Feminist scholars have been critical of the expectations placed upon mothers to accomplish a perfect version of motherhood, but have often failed to interrogate the values about normalcy and disability imbedded in modern mothering ideologies. Mothers with disabilities are well positioned to expose the underlying beliefs about normalcy with which all mothers must contend. Drawing from interviews and focus groups conducted with mothers who have phy…
Between stigma and mother-blame: Blind mothers' experiences in USA hospital postnatal care
This study examines instances of discrimination that blind mothers in the USA have experienced at the hands of doctors, nurses and social workers during hospital postnatal care. The author identifies postnatal care as the time when blind mothers are likely to face the most stigmatising interactions with medical staff, as it is when scepticism about their competence as mothers is at its height. The author argues these interactions must be understo…
Who Better to Do It Than Me: Race, Gender & the Deciding to Run Accounts of Political Women in Texas
Bringing Narrative In: Race–Gender Storytelling, Political Ambition, and Women's Paths to Public Office
Gender and politics scholars have yet to recognize political leaders' "deciding to run" accounts as storytelling performances that draw from and contest dominant cultural discourses. In this article, I present findings from interviews I conducted with 33 women candidates in Texas, analyzing my subjects' "deciding to run" accounts as narratives that illuminate much about women's attempts to negotiate contradictions between dominant race–gender val…
Practicing Electoral Politics in the Cracks: Intersectional Consciousness in a Latina Candidate’s City Council Campaign
Previous research on gender and political leadership has narrowly defined gender consciousness, failing to account for the broader commitments, concerns, and loyalties held by women of color. In this article, the author calls for an intersectional approach to analyzing the gender consciousness of political leaders. She presents findings from four months of participant observation in a Latina candidate's campaign for city council. The author finds…
