The triple burden
Scholars have identified women’s simultaneous labor force and domestic responsibilities as a “double burden” but have not fully explored how these demands intersect with pursuing higher education. Research consistently shows women’s increasing participation in higher education, with women—especially from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds—outpacing men in bachelor’s degree attainment. Using nationally representative longitudinal surveys a…
DIY Faith
Young Americans aren’t simply abandoning religion—they’re transforming it. Drawing on a decade of interviews with youth transitioning into adulthood in the early 2000s, the authors show how these youth broke away from traditional religious institutions while celebrating the sacredness of the individual and pursuing new forms of community
Bridging Sacred Tradition and Secular Aspiration
This study examines how a Jewish coming-of-age ritual—the bar/bat mitzvah—serves as a point of intersection between sacred practices and secular aspirations. Drawing on a multi-sited ethnography of seven families from non-Orthodox congregations in Silicon Valley, the research highlights how the bar/bat mitzvah serves both as a religious milestone and as a structured rehearsal for adulthood. Through participant observation, in-depth interviews, an…
The Selectivity Divide
How Religious Subcultures Interact with Gender to Shape Educational Trajectories
We respond to Brady, Luft, and Zuckerman Sivan's critique of how religious subcultures-particularly Jewish upbringing-shape educational attainment. Their reanalysis, while differently specified, reinforces our central finding: adolescents with Jewish upbringing demonstrate higher rates of college completion and selective institution attendance. We defend our use of a multidimensional SES index-including income, education, and occupational prestig…
Breaking Free of the Iron Cage
The United States is undergoing a remarkable religious transformation: in just a few decades, the proportion of religious 'nones' surged from 1 in 20 to more than 1 in 4. Through four waves of National Study of Youth and Religion surveys and in-depth interviews (2003-2013) linked with administrative data, this study follows a cohort of adolescents coming of age during the rapid rise of the 'nones' and shifting social values, including growing sup…
Why Does Color Have to Matter
There is an appreciable divergence in views on racism among Jewish Americans based on their political affiliations, with Jewish Democrats being almost four times as likely as Jewish Republicans to perceive substantial discrimination against Black people. Through qualitative interviews with 30 Jewish adults across the political spectrum in the Philadelphia area, we analyze narratives surrounding George Floyd's murder, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) …
An Invitation to the Sociology of Religion
From Bat Mitzvah to the Bar
This study considers the role of religious habitus and self-concept in educational stratification. We follow 3,238 adolescents for 13 years by linking the National Study of Youth and Religion to the National Student Clearinghouse. Survey data reveal that girls with a Jewish upbringing have two distinct postsecondary patterns compared to girls with a non-Jewish upbringing, even after controlling for social origins: (1) they are 23 percentage point…
Abortion Bans and College Drop-Outs
What seems like a resounding victory for pro-life advocates will have an unintended consequence: derailing the educational plans of millions of Americans—women and men
Ties in Tough Times
Religion and Academic Achievement
Profound socio-economic disparities that exist among American religious groups are largely driven by the quantity and quality of education they receive. Furthermore, given the U.S. schooling system is rooted in Protestant ideals, it is possible that students with Protestant commitments have an academic advantage. This article synthesizes literature on how adolescents’ religious commitment and background are associated with their short- and long-t…
Measuring the predictability of life outcomes with a scientific mass collaboration
How predictable are life trajectories? We investigated this question with a scientific mass collaboration using the common task method; 160 teams built predictive models for six life outcomes using data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a high-quality birth cohort study. Despite using a rich dataset and applying machine-learning methods optimized for prediction, the best predictions were not very accurate and were only slightly…
Not a family matter
Foregrounding the Family
Traditional Judaism
Post-boomer American Jews pose many challenges to established frameworks for understanding the organization of the American Jewish community. In an analysis of 58 in-depth interviews with post-boomer American Jews, we found a preference for people who described themselves as not religious, and we found a near-total absence of the language of ethnicity. Instead, interviewees volunteered tradition as a replacement for both and as part of a rational…
