Sometimes Contentious Curricula: The Frame Alignments of Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Programs Run by Libertarian Scholars
Industry, Firm, Job Title: The Layered Nature of Early-Career Advantage for Graduates of Elite Private Universities
Using concepts associated with effectively maintained inequality theory and horizontal stratification, the authors ask whether the private-public dividing line is a 'threshold of consequence' for early-career market entry. To address this empirically, the authors use a novel LinkedIn data set to analyze job pathways for the graduating class of 2016 from the top 25 private and top 25 public universities in the United States. In line with past qual…
Intelligent Design
Although advocates of Intelligent Design distinguish their project from other styles of creationism, it is clearly the latest incarnation in an old tradition. Intelligent Design proponents argue that “the deep structures of life” cannot be explained by natural selection and random mutation – the hallmarks of evolutionary theory – and must be explained, rather, by some force of willful design (Behe 1996). Some living organisms, such as the inner w…

Introduction: The Diversity of Culture
By AMY BINDER, MARY BLAIR-LOY, JOHN EVANS, KWAI NG, and MICHAEL SCHUDSON 2008, the much publicized in sociology is old news.1 How far are we from the point where we made our initial turn toward culture? Some say we are in the midst of it (Friedland and Mohr 2004), while others believe we are in fact moving beyond it (Bonnell and Hunt 1999). Rather than debate this question, our goal in this special volume of The Annals is to add substance to the …

Gathering Intelligence on Intelligent Design: Where Did It Come From, Where Is It Going, and How Should Progressives Manage It
This article analyzes the newest front in the creationist battle: intelligent design. I demonstrate how reactions to this challenge can be productively examined using social movements concepts in the area of repression, or protest control, arguing that vigorous repression of challenger demands often leads to a growing sense of solidarity and moral obligation among challenging groups like creationists. Following this discussion of movement dynamic…

Do Employers Really Need More Educated Youth
In this article, the authors use qualitative data from interviews with 51 diverse employers to examine what actions, if any, employers take in pursuit of their stated need for young workers with skills. Contrary to Berg's model, employers often describe a clear need for specific academic skills, specific conditions that require such skills, and costly actions they take to obtain these skills. However, contrary to the economic model, in attempting…

Constructing Racial Rhetoric: Media Depictions of Harm in Heavy Metal and Rap Music
The literatures on movements, the media, and the sociology of culture have addressed how ideological frames are imposed on events and cultural texts. I extend this work on social framing by describing the construction and selection processes that explain why media writers appropriate some frames but not others, and why some frames resonate with broad cultural beliefs. I analyze the rhetoric in media accounts from 1985 to 1990 of the dangers posed…
