The “New Flu: Ontological Insecurity and Pandemic Sense-Making in the US South
Pandemics are inherently disruptive, evoking uncomfortable and unsustainable emotions. We explore the emotional landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic and its normalization among vaccine hesitant residents in Oklahoma. Ontological insecurity reported at the pandemic's outset stemmed from the absence of a clear and resonant cultural script that left individuals to construct narratives in which COVID-19 came to be understood as the "New Flu." Within a …

Domesticating the Exotic? An Online Survey of Attitudes towards the International Wildlife Pet Trade
There are a variety of perspectives on wildlife management and conservation, necessitating interdisciplinary research to develop better management strategies. We answered the call to action provided by Teel et al. (2018) to integrate social sciences into conservation and explored an important but understudied issue: views on the international pet-trade of exotic animals. Some pet owners advocate the pet trade as a means to promote conservation, w…
Cultural Unintelligibility and Marital Pressure: A Grounded Theory of Minority Stigma Against Women with Same-Sex Attraction in Mainland China
Protectors, Aggressors, and Kinfolk: Dogs in a Tribal Community
Free-roaming dogs are a common phenomenon on many American Indian reservations as well as globally. Lack of canine restriction may be pathologized by outsiders, assumed to be a "problem" that reflects underlying individual or community dysfunction. Seldom investigated are the cultural logics underlying the lack of restriction, and the positive role that dogs may be playing in the community. This paper examines relationships between a northern pla…
The social construction of violence among Northern Plains tribal members with antisocial personality disorder and alcohol use disorder
Whereas recent reports from national studies have presented extremely high rates for many personality disorders in American Indian communities, persistent concerns about the meaning of these symptoms have left many troubled by these reports. American Indians as a group are known to suffer disproportionately from a number of violent experiences, but the dynamics of this violence have received little attention. This paper examines perspectives on v…

Reflections on a proposed theory of reservation-dwelling American Indian alcohol use: Comment on Spillane and Smith (2007)
In their recent article, N. Spillane and G. Smith suggested that reservation-dwelling American Indians have higher rates of problem drinking than do either non-American Indians or those American Indians living in nonreservation settings. These authors further argued that problematic alcohol use patterns in reservation communities are due to the lack of contingencies between drinking and "standard life reinforcers" (SLRs), such as employment, hous…

Cognitive Impairment, Psychiatric Disorders, and Problematic Behaviors in a Tribal Nursing Home
Tribal NH residents were likely underdiagnosed for dementia and anxiety. Residual behavioral and psychiatric symptomatology suggest room for improvement in the NH's behavioral management regimen. Need for greater attention to conceptual, diagnostic, clinical, and documentation processes in the NH setting is noted
Historical Consciousness Among Two American Indian Tribes
American Indians have endured numerous significant historical events, including epidemics, warfare, genocide, relocation, and for many, confinement to reservations. These events often are thought to be the root cause of contemporary physical and mental health problems within this population. Yet despite the presumed force of history in shaping their contemporary lives, there has been surprisingly little empirical examination of the extent to whic…
The missing family: Staff perspectives on and responses to familial noninvolvement in two diverse nursing homes
Boredom, "Trouble," and the Realities of Postcolonial Reservation Life
Perhaps because of its reputation as an inconsequential emotion, the significance of boredom in human social life has often been minimized if not ignored. Boredom has been theoretically linked to modernity, affluence, and the growing problem of filling "leisure time. "It has also been attributed to the expansion of individualism with its heightened expectations of personal gratification. Whether a reaction to the sensation ofunderstimulation or "…

The Pollution of Incontinence and the Dirty Work of Caregiving in a U.S. Nursing Home
In U.S. nursing homes, it is the job of nursing assistants to tend to residents ' basic bodily needs, including elimination and incontinence care. Given their frequent contact with pollutants, aides are very much at risk of becoming “pollutedpeople.” In this article, I investigate how nursing assistants' continual contact with contaminating substances impacts their status within the workplace, their relationships with others, and their attitudes …
Finding Order in David's Disorder
This paper describes how I came to know a younger, mentally ill resident during fieldwork in an urban nursing home. I describe my efforts to establish a connection with this man, revealing the manner in which the academic and personal become fused in ethnographic research. In his discourse David conveys an unsettling universe filled with extreme power asymmetries, where he continually gravitates between the roles of victim and victimizer. His var…
