Do Bridging Organizations Bridge? Partisanship and Cross-Partisan Ties in the U.S. Political Depolarization Field
Parallel trajectories and theorizations of religion and family in modernity: Toward an institutional logics perspective
Scholars theorize the effect of modernization on religious and familial institutions in a parallel way. Some argue that both are irreversibly in decline-as secularization and deinstitutionalization, respectively-while others argue that they have either merely changed or are in fact growing stronger. However, correctly interpreting institutional change depends not only on how one evaluates the empirical starts and endpoints but also on how one def…
Theorizing arranged marriage: The case of South Asian Muslim immigrants in love marriage societies
In this paper, I draw upon the empirical literatures on arranged marriages among South Asian Muslim immigrants in the U.S. and U.K. in order to (a) provide a multidimensional model of the marital formation process that challenges the binary between arranged and love marriage and to (b) propose how trust operates as a general mechanism to explain both micro‐level personal, interpersonal, and institutional motivations and negotiations around differ…
Theorizing Family Change: A Review and Reconceptualization
We review how recent family scholarship theorizes recent family change as either a process of deinstitutionalization, in which family can no longer be understood in institutional terms, or a process of diversification, in which family life is expanding but not losing its institutional character. We argue that both approaches emerge out of and depend on a social institutional framework for understanding family that was developed in 20th‐century so…
Generative Devotion: A Theory of Sacred Relational Care in Families of Faith
Generative devotion is a middle‐range theory grounded in analyses of interviews with religious and nonreligious families that illuminates ways religion can facilitate strong family relations within and across generations. Generative devotion is a way of approaching religious and spiritual beliefs, practices, and communities that attends to the long‐term well‐being of family members, is essentially other‐oriented, responds to abiding needs of pers…
The Inner Logic of Religion(s): Theoretical Implications Regarding Eight American Religious-Ethnic Communities
In this piece, we offer an approach for the study of religious people that honors what is “religious” about religion. We refer to selected findings from this special issue to demonstrate how this approach specifically applies to participants in this study. We also discuss what this approach could mean for social scientists, clinicians, clergy, and families
