Addressing the Unseen Power
Boundaries of Love
Rethinking Post-Tenure Malaise
The decades between tenure and retirement constitute the longest yet least understood period of a faculty member’s career. Previous research depicts the midcareer as fraught with reduced job and career satisfaction, lowered productivity, and even stagnation. However, we suggest a reframing of this period. Drawing on data from surveys and interviews of post-tenure faculty at three liberal arts institutions, we reconceptualize the post-tenure as a …
Feminism, First‐, Second‐, and Third‐Wave
The history of feminism in the West is typically divided into a “first wave,” a “second wave,” and a “third wave” to describe women's involvement in social movements that brought about dramatic transformations in their access to social, political, educational, and economic opportunities from the late nineteenth century to the present. This entry critically examines the “wave” metaphor as it has been used by academics and details the major theoret…
Emotional Labor
In 1979, Arlie Russell Hochschild developed the conceptual framework for a sociological study of emotions. She tied feeling rules, emotional display, and the demand to feign a feeling for a wage to social structure. In The Managed Heart (1983), she studied the trained management of feeling among flight attendants and bill collectors, laying the terrain to understand how workers' feelings are the terrain of struggle and site of profit in a service…
Knowing Death Well
End-of-life workers, regardless of occupational status, work against a transformed culture of death and dying. Against that backdrop of technological brinkmanship, segregation of aging and dying from other aspects of life, and a cultural denial of death's inevitability, end-of-life workers develop competence and expertise; however, that competence varies, shaped by the training and occupational status of its purveyors. Based on three years of par…

A Constructive Controversy Approach to “Case Studies”
On the basis of analysis of student responses to a case study titled “Drinks and Dinner,” the authors evaluate the pedagogical potential of using constructive controversy case studies to teach about inequality. “Drinks and Dinner” is designed to capture the complexity of social interactions that defy simple solutions to engage students in increasingly sophisticated discussions of subtle gender bias and the practical contingencies of power in the …
Affective Equality
Historical Change, Technological Innovation, and Continuities of Gender in Three Occupations
The author reviews Matthew Desmond's study of risk in firefighting, Gary Alan Fine's study of weather forecasting, and Kevin Borg's study of the history of auto mechanics, identifying common themes related to the production of masculinity in a postindustrial economy, the negotiation of specialized knowledge and expertise, and finally the reproduction of social inequality against a backdrop of technological innovation

Sexual Politics and Greedy Institutions
Farewell to the organization man
Utilizing data from two ethnographic case studies, one of high-end service workers in a powerful corporate law firm (paralegals) and another of low-end service workers in a small family-run restaurant (food servers), this article presents a comparative analysis of the consequences of the transformation of the US economy and accompanying changes in the culture(s) of work for women and men and specifically of the meanings of loyalty in our contempo…
Bodies at Work
Restaurants inhabit an unusual cultural space—somewhere between the public and the private. This article is a close study of the physical and social space in one American restaurant. The author traces the pathways and openings through which workers sneak and dash to get food to the table, literally rubbing elbows with the customers who demand their attention for the night.Drawing on original ethnographic research, the article examines how workers…
To Invest or Detach? Coping Strategies and Workplace Culture in Service Work
Drawing on original ethnographic research and interweaving food servers' voices with theories of labor, this article examines the emotional content of interactions between customers and workers in restaurants. It addresses the potential benefits of emotional labor, the effect of gender on how workers make sense of and cope with the demands of their jobs, and the work culture that arises as a result of workers' approaches to the emotional demands …
