A Smile is Worth a Thousand Words: Individual Versus Structural Explanations of Poor Oral Health
Individuals with poor oral health encounter difficulties often attributed to personal failings. The current mixed‐methods study extends stratification beliefs research into the scholarship of oral health inequality; this research explores undergraduate students' conceptualization of “oral health” by examining differences in their perspectives regarding individualistic and structuralist explanations of inequities in oral health based on race, gend…
The Sociological Imagination in Challenging Times
This critical essay argues the events of the last few years have made sociology more relevant to students’ lives and increased their need for and the utility of a well-developed sociological imagination. To meet the opportunities created by this moment, sociology educators need well-designed and highly effective pedagogical interventions that develop their students' sociological imaginations. Unfortunately, much of the available scholarship on de…
The Sociological Imagination within Teaching Sociology: 1973–2020
The sociological imagination is widely considered essential to sociology and sociological scholarship-of-teaching-and-learning research. Still, sociologists have struggled to agree on precisely what it is and how to measure its development effectively.

Harsh U.S. deportation policies disproportionately target Latin American immigrant working-class men and subsequently divide families. The unique experiences of co-deported mixed-status couples are missing from the deportation literature—that is, U.S. citizens, primarily women, who live outside of the United States with their deported Latin American immigrant spouses (what we call co-deportation) rather than living separately. Using hegemonic mas…

The Human-Environment Dialog in Award-winning Children's Picture Books
Picture books often play an important role in childhood socialization. Given the seriousness of environmental problems, we ask how natural, modified, and built environments have been portrayed in children's books. To answer this question, we analyze the 296 books receiving Caldecott awards from 1938 to 2008. Two possibilities are explored with respect to content change. Growing concern about critical environmental problems, such as decline in bio…
