The joy of gaylor
Taylor Swift fans constitute one of the largest and most active pop music fan bases. ‘Gaylors’ are Swift fans who read her artistic and celebrity texts through a queer lens. As an extremely active community within the Swift fandom, gaylors produce subversive readings of Swift’s songs, and they seek to compile evidence that Swift herself is secretly queer. How did speculation about Taylor Swift’s sexuality become an organizing force for many in th…
Tort Tales, Gold Diggers, and the Crusade against Heart Balm
Beginning in the early 1930s, US citizens made a concerted effort to ban lawsuits for breach of promise, seduction, criminal conversation, and alienation of affection. By 1940, ten states had outlawed so-called heart balm torts. Yet there is no empirical evidence that rates of heart balm lawsuits were increasing. This article analyzes 1930s media representations to show how the movement against heart balm grew from “tort tales” about allegedly ou…
Alimony Panic, Gold Diggers, and the Cultural Foundations of Early Twentieth-century Marriage Reform in the United States

Several states considered legislation to restrict alimony payments. Yet, the overall instances of alimony were relatively rare. This article explain…
Measuring Negative Consequences of College Student Substance Use
A commonly used instrument to assess negative consequences of substance use among college students is the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey (CADS; C A Presley, P. W. Mailman, & J S. Leichliter, 1998; C. A. Presley. P W. Meilman. & R. Lyerla, 1993). Results from 2 studies suggest that a subset of CADS negative consequences items can be explained by 2 factors, which the authors named “Personal Consequences” and “Consequences With Others.”
Framing and Strategy
This study examines the sources of strength and mobilizing impetus in the Anti-Saloon League (ASL) and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in the early twentieth century. Both the ASL and the WCTU played essential roles in the establishment of national prohibition. The quick demise of the ASL after the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1933 and the endurance of the WCTU cannot be explained only by the structural conditions that conf…
