Calibrating Translational Cancer Research: Collaboration without Consensus in Interdisciplinary Laboratory Meetings
Based on an original ethnographic study of a translational cancer research institute in the United States, we propose calibration as a process that makes interdisciplinary collaboration without consensus possible. Calibration refers to ongoing, day-to-day negotiation and alignment of personal identities, disciplinary commitments, and research group customs that occur during face-to-face group deliberations around everyday research concerns. Calib…
Hope and Despair in the American City: Why There Are No Bad Schools in Raleigh - By Gerald Grant
I'd rather not take Prozac: Stigma and Commodification in Antidepressant Consumer Narratives
This article explores the idea that narrative is the primary vehicle through which antidepressant consumers negotiate their sense of identity and reality. Antidepressant consumers represent a unique consumer culture because of the stigma that society attaches to mental illness. Recent media attention, including direct to consumer (DTC) advertising, appears to decrease the stigma surrounding antidepressant use while at the same time commodifying a…
Broken Brains and Broken Homes: The Meaning of Special Education in an Appalachian Community
In this article, I explore the meaning of disability within the everyday lives of Clear River third-grade students. The concept of a disability narrative is developed to explain how expert disability labels shape the experience of academic performance and failure. Previous studies of disability labeling have neglected the life of the label after it has become entextualized. I focus on how the layperson translates the technical language of experts…
Where the Action Is: The Microsociological Turn in Educational Research
Streetwise Science: Toward a Theory of the Code of the Classroom
This article takes Anderson's (1999) "code of the street" as the context for studying science learning in an inner city American public school. It is proposed that a socio-cultural model of mind can help to explain how students in an urban chemistry class negotiate contradictory cultural codes. This analysis includes a consideration of (a) interaction styles, (b) the meaning of chemistry talk, (c) the dynamics of the code of the classroom, and (d…
