Housework
Housework, along with carework, is a part of domestic labor. Housework refers to paid and unpaid labor performed to maintain a home, and includes cleaning, buying groceries, cooking, and doing laundry. The research on housework is historical and sociological, and traces housework back to the preindustrial economy. More contemporary research on housework examines satisfaction, time availability, and gender ideologies in the context of more diverse…
The Framing of Race
This study analyzed two national newspapers to investigate how each framed race in coverage of Trayvon Martin and the Black Lives Matter movement. Drawing from Feagin’s white racial frame as the framework for analysis, results show that the news coverage reflected an encompassing pro-white/anti-black master-frame that presented Black Americans as inadequate, lawless, criminal, threatening and at times biologically different. Some news stories con…
Fat pedagogy and microaggressions
Fisanick suggests that fat professors feel compelled to overperform, which is an argument that is applicable to all areas of higher education, even beyond the classroom. Directors, coordinators, and administrative assistants in academic departments and units also experience this strain in which overworking and taking on too many responsibilities can somehow overcompensate for the societal belief that someone larger is less credible or knowledgibl…
One-Shot (Public) Sociology
In this teaching note, we outline ways in which sociologists can expand their reach beyond the classroom by accepting students’ invitations to develop short, sociologically informed curricula for campus groups. We argue that sociologists are especially well-equipped to moderate and deliver this kind of programming on college campuses because many of the issues that students are dealing with are directly connected to our course content. In additio…

Housework
Housework, broadly defined, refers to the paid and unpaid labor performed to maintain family members and/or a home. This includes cleaning, buying groceries, preparing meals, and doing the laundry. Sociologists often frame the discussion of housework as part of the division of household labor, and this is where housework is situated within sociological literature. In most studies, housework is defined by its measurement and often excludes childca…
Teaching Community Networks
Despite the prominence of teaching in academia, we know little about how graduate students learn to teach. We propose the concept of a teaching community network (TCN), an informal social network that facilitates the exchange of teaching-specific resources. We explore the role of TCNs through a case study of a sociology doctoral program at a large state university. Results reveal that students rely heavily on informal ties within the graduate stu…
Can Online Courses Deliver In-class Results
This study uses a quasi-experimental design to assess differences in student performance and satisfaction across online and face-to-face (F2F) classroom settings. Data were collected from 368 students enrolled in three online and three F2F sections of an introductory-level sociology course. The instructor, course materials, and assessments were consistent between the two delivery formats. The investigators compare student satisfaction and student…
Sociology of the College Classroom
Teaching Sociology's emphasis on the scholarship of teaching and learning has moved the field well beyond simple description of teaching methods. There is no doubt that the journal is more scholarly than in the past. Still, we do not take advantage of our rich theoretical disciplinary work. There is much to learn sociologically about the classroom and other sites of interaction between teachers and students. Our classrooms are social sites and ou…
Inquiry-Guided Learning in Sociology
This paper is based on a workshop of the same name presented at the 2007 American Sociological Association meetings. The purpose of the workshop and this article is to focus attention on teaching methods that require students to actively investigate sociological phenomena. During the workshop, participants practiced constructing inquiry-guided learning activities suitable for a range of different courses taught throughout the curriculum. These ac…

In most studies, housework is defined by its measurement and often excludes childcare, emotion work, …
Gender Effects Along the Juvenile Justice System
This article provides an example of the unequal outcomes generated by humans interacting in a gendered organizational context. Acker's concept of gendered institutions is applied to a juvenile justice program. Using data from court records and program files, official outcomes for boys and girls are compared. Findings indicate that variation in the level of program implementation produced an increase, rather than a decrease, in the odds of female …
