  • Race and Genre Ambiguity in the Critical Reception of Popular Music

    Open AccessAlex Van Venrooij, Candace Miller et al.ARTICLESociological Inquiry2022Cited by: 7References: 67

    In this article, we link the sociology of culture with the sociology of race and racism to examine how race shapes perceptions of genre ambiguity in popular music.

  • Balancing Research and Service in Academia

    Open AccessCandace Miller, J RoksaARTICLEGender & Society2020Cited by: 9References: 46

    Our study highlights specific ways in which race and gender create inequality in the workplace.

Whi…
