Managing Human Subjects Research During a Global Pandemic at an Academic Center
By March 2020, New York City became the early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Consequently, Columbia University, with its large portfolio of human subjects research, had to address the challenges of protecting thousands of research participants and research staff from potential exposure to COVID-19 while facilitating essential biomedical research, especially pandemic-related studies. The authors describe, from the perspec…
Coming of Age in Jewish America
Patricia Keer Munro’s Coming of Age in Jewish America: Bar and Bat Mitzvah Reinterpreted details the significance and the power of this religious ritual for American Jews who largely see being Jewish as a reflection of culture and ancestry rather than of religion itself. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Munro’s work draws on in-depth observations of the religious services, religious school classes, and preparation sessions for bar/bat mitzv…
We’re just like everyone else!’ Rethinking the cultural politics of the London Asian urban music scene
This article engages with the practices of politics and its presence and meanings within the Asian scene. Despite work that has taken youth cultures beyond the framework of ‘resistance’, youth cultures are often still imagined and understood through the lens of ‘resistance’. Yet, within the Asian scene, the tensions, disavowal and ambivalence toward politics point toward a more complex, multilayered understanding of contemporary youth cultural fo…
Making Diaspora in a Global City
The exciting diasporic sounds of the London Asian urban music scene are a cross-section of the various genres of urban music that include bhangra "remix," R&B and hip hop styles, as well as dubstep and other "urban" sample-oriented electronic music. This book brings together a unique analysis of urban underground music cultures in exploring just how members of this "scene" take up space in "super-diverse" London. It provides a fresh perspective o…
‘No caps, no coconuts, no all-male groups’ … the regulation of Asians in London clubs
Until now, British Asian popular music culture and leisure spaces have attracted little sociological investigation. This article redresses the lack of attention paid to this area by focusing on an ethnographic study of the 'desi' South Asian club scene in London. It explores the relationship between contemporary discourses of Asianness as they are constructed within an East London desi club space and made to matter through embodied social practic…
Balancing Acts
Head movements in the context of speech in Arabic, Bulgarian, Korean, and African-American Vernacular English
A previous study among European-Americans (McClave, 2000) observed that particular forms of head movements occur in specific communicative environments. The present study investigates whether any of the form–function relationships observed in the original study are cross-cultural. The database consists of seven hours of videotaped spontaneous conversations in Arabic, Bulgarian, Korean, and African-American Vernacular English. This study suggests …
