The Performance of Expertise
The Spectacle of Expertise: Why Financial Analysts Perform in the Media. By Alex Preda (Columbia University Press, 2023) This engaging volume is ostensibly concerned with the world of finance, financial analysis, and media performance.

Performance as Critical Resistance: Playwriting and Public Sociology
In this article, I argue that playwriting and performance can act as powerful forms of activism that bridge academic work and public engagement.

This methodological discussion is contextualized within the current political moment that positions work in the humanities as irrelevant and elitist. Performance …
Improvisation as Metaphor: The Sociology of Howard Becker
Understanding Everyday Life: Generic Social Processes and the Pursuit of Transcontextuality
This paper joins earlier interactionist projects in advocating for an analytical attentiveness to generic social process (GSP).

Drawing from interviews with formerly incarcerated men, we explore how sexua…
