The Symbolic Lynching of James Meredith
The hanging of a noose on the University of Mississippi's statue of civil rights pioneer James Meredith in February 2014 was framed by university administrators as the act of a few deviant white students, but our analysis suggests otherwise. A historical review shows the university's long-standing resistance to meaningful change and a continuing lack of transparency following racist incidents. Visual analysis shows that the university remains sat…

The H2 Visa process in the catfish industry
This article builds on global ethnography, transnational feminist sociology, and gendered organizations to examine the processes and practices required to obtain H2 visas, temporary work permits for non-U.S. citizens seeking employment in agriculture and non-agricultural sectors. The article is based on ethnographic observation at a U.S. Consulate in Mexico with a focus on observing the process experienced by a group of Mexican workers seeking H2…

No Retribution for Being Gay
Sociological studies suggest that there is social change occurring in the acceptance of lesbians and gay men in the workplace. Compared to prior decades, there are more businesses that welcome, value, and even privilege nonheterosexual sexual identities and relationships. Few studies have analyzed workers' experiences in these types of work contexts. In this article, we explore the experiences of “out” LGB women and men who work for organizations…
Masculinities in 'Safe' and 'Embattled' Organizations
While research shows that there are familiar forms of doing masculinity involving distancing from femininity/women or from subordinated/marginalized masculinities/men, there is less emphasis on the fact that the content of these masculine performances varies depending on the specific cultural norms and ideologies present in an organization. The author relies on a comparative case study using in-depth interviews and participant observation in the …
Wearing gender and sexuality “On your sleeve”
The Locker Room and the Dorm Room
Workers in a variety of occupations are subjected to unwanted sexual behaviors, but many do not label their experiences as sexual harassment because they are institutionalized requirements of their jobs. Yet, even in highly sexualized occupations, boundary lines are drawn between acceptable and unacceptable, harassing behavior. Through in-depth interviews and participant observation, we explore how the editorial staff at two magazines make these …
Weaving Work and Motherhood
Sexuality in the Workplace
Flirting, bantering, and other sexual interactions are commonplace in work organizations. Not all of these interactions constitute harassment or assault; consensual sexual relationships, defined as those reflecting positive and autonomous expressions of workers' sexual desire, are also prevalent in the workplace and are the focus of this paper. We begin by reviewing research on the distinction between sexual harassment and sexual consent. Next we…
Makeup at Work
This study seeks to understand women's use of makeup in the workplace. The authors analyze 20 in-depth interviews with a diverse group of women who work in a variety of settings to examine the appearance rules that women confront at work and how these rules reproduce assumptions about sexuality and gender. The authors found that appropriate makeup use is strongly associated with assumptions about health, heterosexuality, and credibility in the wo…
