Mental health and beliefs about abortion access following changes to reproductive healthcare laws in 2022: Findings from Oklahoma
A plurality of participants favored having access to abortion. PR stress was common and was associated with mental health concerns
White or Woke Christian Nationalists? How Race Moderates the Link Between Christian Nationalism and Progressive Identities
Scholarship on “Christian nationalism” often frames it as antithetical to progressive politics. Yet recent studies find that historically disadvantaged racial minorities often espouse more progressive political views as Christian nationalism increases. Building on an understanding that American religion and politics are fundamentally racialized and drawing on nationally representative data from a nonprobability sample with a Christian nationalism…
Mobilizing fears? How proximity to deportation threat affects political participation
Policies often provoke political changes, which are collectively known as feedback effects. Studying state variation in immigration policy, scholars have shown that proximity to hostile policy tends to mobilize Latinos. But not every member of the Latino community is likely to perceive the same proximity to anti‐immigrant policies. We argue that when people worry that deportation is a risk to them, they are likely to withdraw politically, but whe…
In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower: An Ethical Exploration of Citizen Assessments of American University Presidents’ Political Endorsements
Religion, Race, and Covid-19: Confronting White Supremacy in the Pandemic, by STACEY M. FLOYD THOMAS
Religion, Race, and COVID-19 offers an analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic at the intersection of race and religion and explains how this linkage shapes a variety of political and societal outcomes. Drawing on several theoretical approaches and covering a breadth of intersecting identities, this edited volume delivers an important contribution to the field of sociology. The volume further explores the divergent ways in which religion can serve heal…

The Everyday Crusade: Christian Nationalism in American Politics
What is causing the American public to move more openly into alt-right terrain? What explains the uptick in anti-immigrant hysteria, isolationism, and an increasing willingness to support alternatives to democratic governance? The Everyday Crusade provides an answer. The book points to American Religious Exceptionalism (ARE), a widely held religious nationalist ideology steeped in myth about the nation's original purpose. The book opens with a co…
Ethnocultural or generalized? Nationalism and support for punitive immigration policy
The revelation that the Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.–Mexico border and placed them in detention facilities sparked protests across the country in 2018. While the policy received swift backlash from the public and was widely derided as running counter to American values and the rule of law, a segment of the American public supports the policy. We argue that ethnocultural forms of nationalism—bel…
Gender Attitudes, Support for Teachers’ Strikes, and Legislative Elections
In the past 25 years, education funding in Oklahoma has stagnated. In some schools, students learn about American politics from tattered textbooks in which George W. Bush is listed as the current president (Hendry and Pasquantonio 2018). Across the board, teachers are grossly underpaid, yet many are compelled to buy school supplies with their own funds (Felder 2018a). Moreover, in one out of five schools, students come to class only four days a w…
Is Sexism for White People? Gender Stereotypes, Race, and the 2016 Presidential Election
Owning Immigration: Messenger Ethnicity, Issue Ownership, and Support for Latino Candidates
The public opinion literature stresses the importance of source cues in determining which types of messages affect attitudes and which types do not. Building upon such research, we seek to determine if messenger ethnicity influences how individuals evaluate candidates speaking on immigration in the context of a campaign. Do Americans (and Anglo Americans in particular) view Latino candidates as more experienced, stronger leaders, more trustworthy…
Proud to be an American: The Changing Relationship of National Pride and Identity
The attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 and subsequent military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq created a sharp increase in expressions of national pride and the invocation of “nation” in political discourse. Using the 1996 and 2004 General Social Surveys, we document these changing patterns of national pride, and ask how they affect conceptions of national identity. We report three main findings. First, the data corroborate the…
Religious Nationalism and Perceptions of Muslims and Islam
We test for relationships between anti-Muslim attitudes and opinion and competing religious identity and religious belief variables in an evangelical Christian constituency. Original survey data from a statewide sample of 508 likely voters in Oklahoma are subjected to a robust regression analysis to determine (1) indicators of holding Christian nationalist beliefs and (2) the relationship between belief measures of Christian nationalism, evangeli…
Divine Boundaries: How Religion Shapes Citizens’ Attitudes Toward Immigrants
How does religion affect one’s attitudes toward immigrants? Scholars have shown that members of minor religious groups are less anti-immigrant than members of majority affiliations and that Evangelical Protestants are particularly hostile. Other scholars have demonstrated that increased religiosity reduces immigrant animus. Here, we argue that religion affects immigration attitudes via a distinct religiously informed interpretation of America’s n…
