All-encompassing ethnographies: Strategies for feminist and equity-oriented institutional research
This article addresses the challenges inherent to conducting ethnography in all-encompassing institutions and presents strategies for equity-oriented research in such restrictive settings. All-encompassing institutions are organizations that have no separation between home, work, and play, with forms of surveillance, power imbalances, and control that create logistical and ethical challenges for ethnographers. Building on feminist orientations to…
The social significance of chaplains: Evidence from a national survey
How often do people have contact with chaplains? How valuable do they find that contact? We answer these questions with data from a 2019 NORC AmeriSpeaks survey. Twenty-one percent of respondents had contact with a chaplain in the past two-years, 57% in a healthcare setting. The majority find that contact moderately or very valuable. Christians were more likely than non-Christians and respondents with no religion to have contact with chaplains. P…
Interpellative Styles: Choreographies of Identity Disruptions and Repairs
Drawing on ethnographic research with two Orthodox Jewish outreach organizations, this article conceptualizes interpellative styles and offers a framework to analyze how styles are variously situated, mediated, performed, and disruptive. I mobilize a micro-interactional approach to parse out how these four dimensions shape ideological recruitment and their roles in the choreographies of identity disruptions and repairs. The two case studies illum…
Vulnerable Research: Competencies for Trauma and Justice-Informed Ethnography
Ethnographers often work with individuals who are physically, psychologically, spiritually, and/or structurally vulnerable. The article introduces six competencies for ethnographers to be trained in and assessed on to ensure their research is trauma and justice-informed. The author builds from her own research experiences, current methodological approaches to qualitative inquiry, and an integration of sociology and psychology to detail these comp…

Embodied Theodicy: From Conceptual to Bodily Engagements with Suffering
This article leverages ethnographic research on spiritual journeys to expand traditional definitions of theodicy. Embodied theodicy builds upon embodiment literature to demonstrate how bodily experiences have real emotional consequences—they have the potential to change how individuals make sense of their suffering. Whereas in some cases the bodily experience of pain leads to suffering, in others, pain provides individuals with perspective on the…
Rereading Durkheim in light of Jewish law: How a Traditional Rabbinic Thought-Model Shapes His Scholarship
When studying the work of Émile Durkheim, scholars must consider how his intellectual development in a traditional Jewish environment contributed to and informed his ideas. This article details how Durkheim's upbringing endowed him with a traditional rabbinic thought-model. The author analyzes five of Durkheim's major works to argue that the system of classification, language, and style of argument Durkheim used to define concepts in his scholars…
