Trump Has Committed a Crime Against Humanity
In this essay, I briefly trace the history of the scientific work that predicts rising temperatures, sea rise, and the effects of greenhouse gases on climate change. I then explain why Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement warrants charging him with committing a crime against humanity
Human Rights Matter
This article serves as a response to all those who commented on my original essay “Human Rights: What the United States Might Learn from the Rest of the World and, Yes, from American Sociology.”
Human Rights: What the United States Might Learn from the Rest of the World and, Yes, from American Sociology
The U.S. Constitution includes civil and political rights—as individual rights—but does not include what is internationally understood to be “human rights,” namely rights we enjoy as equals, including economic, social, and cultural rights, and protections for vulnerable persons, such as children, minorities, mothers, and refugees. The United States has not ratified any international (United Nations) or regional (Organization of American States) h…
Putting Sociological Knowledge to Good Use
Sociologists, I propose, have a great deal to contribute to research and theory on human rights, especially owing to the many ways we approach the study of the many aspects of society. In this article I suggest some ways in which sociology can contribute to this mission

Sociology and Human Rights: A Bill of Rights for the Twenty-First Century
This anthology examines the implications that human rights have for the social sciences. It discusses how the 1789 Bill of Rights of the US Constitution should be expanded to encompass fundamental human rights, as most other constitutions already have been

Earth Capitalism: Creating a New Civilization through a Responsible Market Economy has, might say, an attitude. But that may be exactly what you want if you are looking for a book that will grab your students' attention. They should know about collaps ing economies, imperiled environments, and failing states. Your students may also wish to know more about imaginative alter natives, such as participatory democracy, the revival of a voluntary econo…

things social are socially constructed and thus are the sites of political and ideological struggle, and sometimes deconstruction. Pri vate property is what it is in America because it is socially constructed, just as col lective ownership is in parts of Cambodia. Certainly private property in America is hot ly contested, or Capitalism, A Love Story wouldn't have been such a box office smash, and Western capitalists are schmoozing with Cambodian …
Human Rights: A Primer
Human Rights: A Primer breaks new ground in clarifying for undergraduates the international significance of human rights. This new edition highlights current and recent developments, using themes familiar to undergraduates. For example, Americans are increasingly aware of the growing disparities in economic well-being. It is indeed a crisis that is global and national. Because this book focuses on globalization and human rights as intertwined, re…

Decent Society Index: A Research Note
People everywhere are discovering that their own views about a decent society are widely shared around the world. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights already made this clear in 1948 by referring to “a common understanding” of rights and freedoms and a “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.” A challenge for social scientists is to develop dimensions for an index that m…

It Ought to Be a Crime: Criminalizing Human Rights Violations
In this article we propose that distinctions between human rights violations and violations of humanitarian law are substantively groundless. Human beings are entitled to live their lives with dignity and security, entitled to their freedoms. There remain, however, practical problems: human rights law and humanitarian law are distinct traditions with their own separate venues for judicatory review. They are also different in the popular imaginati…

Staying Back and Dropping Out: The Relationship Between Grade Retention and School Dropout
Students who repeat a grade prior to high school have a higher risk of dropping out of high school than do students who are continuously promoted. This study tested whether standard theories of dropout-including the participation-identification model and the social capital model-explain this link. Although the presence of variables, including academic achievement and disciplinary problems, reduces the higher probability of retained students dropp…
