Infection Risk Along U.S. Highways? The Case of a ‘Truckchaser’ Cruising for Truckers
This article explores potential infection risks linked with trucker cruising along U.S. highways. Specifically, the article delineates the settings and social organization of trucker cruising, examines the structure of sex partnerships of truckers and cruisers, and delves into the unique database of one truckchaser who recorded 4,162 sex interactions with 2,499 different truckers during a 13-year period. Concurrent sexual partnerships of bisexual…
Changing the Scripts
The Elephant in the Room
Over two hundred years of anecdotal, epidemiological, and experimental evidence indicate that poverty breeds disease. This holds true for type 2 diabetes, which both in the United States and other developed nations disproportionately occurs, cripples, and kills among the poor. In this article we examine rhetorical strategies used in 30 journal articles indexed under type 2 diabetes and poverty. As we show, poverty is rarely highlighted in this li…
Women and Their Hair
This article explores how women seek power through both resisting and accommodating mainstream norms for female hair and delineates the strengths and limitations of these strategies. The data help to illuminate the complex role the body plays in sustaining and challenging women's subordinate position, how accommodation and resistance lie buried in everyday activities, the limits of resistance based on the body, and why accommodation and resistanc…

Watching Brian Die
Two years ago, my brother-in-law was injured in a catastrophic industrial accident, which left him with second and third degree burns over 95 percent of his body. Writing both as a family member and as a sociologist, I analyse how his doctors increased their decision-making authority at the expense of informed consent, explore why they did so, and discuss the consequences for families when informed consent is not obtained. I also discuss the diff…

Physician Satisfaction in a Changing Health Care Environment
For some time, sociologists have debated whether physicians still retain dominance in the health care world, public faith in their moral and scientific authority, and the autonomy to set work conditions and make clinical decisions. Using ideas derived from this debate, we analyze the impact of changes in the health care environment on physician satisfaction. Our data come from a mailed survey of 510 Arizona physicians. Our results show that backg…
The portrayal of homosexuality in abnormal psychology and sociology of deviance textbooks
This study examines the portrayal of homosexuality in abnormal psychology and sociology of deviance textbooks published in the United States and in print in 1995; publication dates for these books ranged between 1980 and 1995. A total of 27 textbooks—16 in psychology and 11 in sociology—were used. Books published during the 1980s were compared with those published in the 1990s. Results from textbooks in print in 1995 were compared with results fr…

A Group Technique for Testing Knowledge about HIV/Aids
Considerable evidence suggests that students who engage in collaborative learning--participating in inquiry and discussion in small groups of peers--learn more than students who work in isolation (Rau and Heyl 1990; Sharan 1990; Slavin 1990.) As a strong believer in collaborative learning, I wanted to accustom the students to working in groups, beginning early in the semester. I hoped this arrangement would not only allow them to test and develop…

For this book, Charmaz conducted 115 interviews with fifty-five people. Almost half were interviewed more than once, and sixteen were followed for at least five years. The book is rich with quotes from these interviews. Recognizing that interactions with doctors and hospitals represen…

The Politics and Morality of Deviance
Uncertainty and the Lives of Persons with Aids
This article uses interview data to explore how 23 gay and bisexual men who had AIDS were affected by and managed uncertainty. Before diagnosis these individuals had to find ways to cope with uncertainty about their risk of contracting AIDS and about their initial symptoms. After diagnosis they had to find answers to their questions about why they contracted this disease, whether they would be able to function in the short run, whether their illn…

Licensed lay midwifery and the medical model of childbirth
Previous research has tended to equate lay midwifery with demedicalized care. This paper analyzes how licensed lay midwives in Arizona have been pressured towards a more medical model of childbirth. Licensing has affected midwives' beliefs and practices through increasing their exposure to medical definitions of childbirth and making them legally accountable to the medically dominated State Department of Health Services. The midwives' cumulative …

The Politics of Childbirth
Interviews with 27 licensed lay midwives in Arizona demonstrate the continuing macro- and micro-political struggles over definitions and control of childbirth. Physicians define childbirth as a potentially pathological process requiring active medical intervention. They also continue to regard lay midwives as dangerously unqualified and home birth as unnecessarily risky despite state licensure of midwives who attend home births. On the other hand…
Medical norms and medical innovation
This study analyses the differential impact of physicians'traditional professional norms on their use of two innovations, genetic counseling and new drugs. These two medical innovations require rather different practice orientations, since the former (genetic counselling) necessitates a non-traditional preventive and psychosocial approach, while the latter (prescribing new drugs) can occur within a traditional interventionist treatment framework.…

The sample consisted of the latest editions of 22 psychology and 8 sociology textbooks; all were published in the United States and are currently in print. The findings indicate th…

Barriers to acceptance of genetic counseling among primary care physicians
This research analyzed physicians’ attitudes toward and use of genetic counseling. Data were obtained through mailed questionnaires sent to all 445 general and family practitioners, pediatricians, and obstetrician‐gynecologists in private practice and involved in direct patient care in Maricopa and Pima Counties, Arizona. Results indicated strong attitudinal support for genetic counseling. Almost all respondents felt that it was a useful and nece…

The Interview as Legacy
Weitz, a sociologist, is conducting a long-term study in which she\ninterviews persons with AIDS about their experiences and feelings to learn how\nthe disease has affected their lives beyond changes in their health. She\ndescribes how she designed and conducts her project, some of the ethical\nissues that she has encountered, such as consent and confidentiality, and the\nsense of responsibility that her research has engendered.

Teaching Writing for Publication
Most graduate students who seek academic careers know that their future success depends upon their ability to publish. Yet although all successful graduate students learn how to conduct a research study, far fewer leave graduate school with the practical skills needed to turn their research into publishable articles or books. This article describes a course I taught on writing for scholarly publication. The course had two focuses: teaching how to…
