The Social Movement Social Club
Before sociology, I aspired to be a good writer. Those like me will love Gary Alan Fine's prologue to his new ethnography, in which he draws a movingly adventurous scene of elderly Chicagoans questing to Wisconsin through a snowstorm in 2016. Using canes and walkers, these senior activists arrive and march through snow, protesting right-wing threats to social security emanating from then-Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's offices in Racine. The viv…
Meet Them Where They Are
I draw on Erving Goffman's Frame Analysis and Eviatar Zerubavel's sociology of attention to examine social movement communication as attempts to change hearts and minds by changing definitions of social problems. Specifically, I ask: When and how do bystanders entertain affective and cognitive disruptions? By what processes do movement bystanders listen to movements? I conceptualize social movement listening as a set of processes by which bystand…
Values and Public Sociology
Excerpts from Low Season and Green Country
Jonathan Johnson’s bodies of work, Low Season and Green Country, are poetic narratives featuring color photographic images made during, and in relationship to, the act of walking through urban and rural landscapes of Thailand and Costa Rica. As a mixed-race artist, the photographer uses the act of walking as a way of situating and exploring the physical spaces that exist in both of his homes in Southeast Asia, the Midwestern United States, and ot…
Expanding boundaries
Using a social movement perspective, we propose a framework that includes nonprofit actors as members of supply chains in a context that we call sustainable supply chain facilitation, particularly within multi-stakeholder supply chain sustainability initiatives. In this framework, certain nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) work alongside other supply chain firms, going beyond technical roles to serve as coordinators, conveners, organizers, brok…
Beyond “Does it Pay to be Green?” A Meta-Analysis of Moderators of the CEP–CFP Relationship
Radical Normals
Sociological research has examined straight parents in 'traditional' family arrangements who become gay rights activists, but pays insufficient attention to how this puzzling identity comes into being. Drawn from observations and interviews of parents participating in a local chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) (2009 to 2010), this paper analyzes the parenting activities undertaken by straight parents of gay children as a …
The social context of undermining behavior at work
The effects of psychological contract breach and organizational cynicism
This research explored the differential effects on employees of two types of social exchange violations: those that generate perceptions of psychological contract breach and of organizational cynicism. We predicted that psychological contract breach and cynicism would result in differential outcomes because of differences in the person specificity of their underlying social exchange relationships. Using a sample of bank employees, we found that c…

On the Use of "Intent to…" Variables in Organizational Research
Organizational research often relies on surrogate variables. By "surrogate" we do not refer to family of construct, factor, or latent variables. Rather, we address the situation where one variable is literally the substitute for another variable that is generally unavailable. Consider, for example, the use of "intent to turnover" or "intent to transfer" variables commonly used when actual turnover or transfer data are unavailable. We demonstrate …
On the Interchangeability of Objective and Subjective Measures of Employee Performance
A meta‐analysis of studies containing both objective and subjective ratings of employee performance resulted in a corrected mean correlation of .389. This value, although significantly greater than zero, indicates that objective and subjective performance measures should not be used interchangeably. Moreover, in no moderator subgroup examined did the correlation suggest convergent validity. After discussing issues related to resolving the previou…
The Iron Law of Paternalism
We relied on 372 justice procedures in the workplace (arbitral hearings) to assess the viability of the “iron law of paternalism,” a thesis essentially arguing that women will receive more lenient outcomes. With severity of the offense invariant, these data provide no support for this thesis in the workplace
