Don't Touch: The Role of Cultural Knowledge in Low-SES Parents' Perceptions of Museums
Museums can provide valuable benefits for children, but children from low socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds are less likely to have exposure to such institutions. We draw on interviews with 52 low-SES parents to explore how perceptions of museums influence whether parents would consider bringing their children there. Respondents express a clear preference for enriching activities for their children. However, our findings reveal a tension between th…
Risk Mitigation: Preparation for Police Interaction”
Literatures on parenting strategies examine social and cultural reproduction. However, a growing literature also documents the unique concerns of parents from marginalized communities. Of particular concern for these parents is the racialized surveillance of their children. This is especially true in Muslim communities. Racialized surveillance influences Muslim parents’ childrearing practices and erodes trust in law enforcement. Due to this distr…
Global Appeal: Colorblindness, Neoliberalism, and Neighborhood Branding
Using content analysis of Buffalo media and 20 semi-structured interviews, I document the use of immigrant entrepreneurialism as a neoliberal urban governance strategy. Racism evasiveness is central to this strategy. I observe that immigrants and refugees are treated as symbolic capital as part of a neighborhood branding strategy that involves parlaying diversity into material benefits. I call this strategy global appeal. Buffalo's resurgence is …
One of the Good Ones: Rhetorical Maneuvers of Whiteness
Drawing on the literature on white habitus, colorblindness, diversity ideology, and happy talk, I argue that rhetorical maneuvers are key aspects of white habitus that allow whites to construct a non-racist self by drawing on colorblind discourses. To explore how white habitus influences interview dynamics when the respondent and interviewer are of a different race, I conducted 48 interviews with whites from rural and urban areas of the Greater B…
“‘No Tough Guys Here?’: Hybrid Masculinity in a Boxing Gym”
In this article, I explore manifest and latent discourses about masculinity in a predominantly white, middle class boxing gym. In this gym, the owner and coaches promote a discourse that emphasizes love, bridgework, and sparring with care. This discourse is part of the gym’s white-collar boxing culture. A key part of this discourse is distancing themselves from other gyms, claiming they promote a violent masculinity. While on the surface the gym …

Buffalo's West Side Story: Migration, Gentrification, and Neighborhood Change
Using a multi–methods approach, we examine socioeconomic and demographic change in Buffalo, New York's, West Side neighborhood. We do this by performing a systematic case study of the neighborhood analyzing census tract data, crime data, key informant interview data from community leaders and organizational representatives, and content analysis data from local newspaper articles. Results suggest that although the neighborhood has shifted dramatic…
