(Wo)Man-Eaters
Unveiling Agency
Skam is a web-series focused on the turbulence of adolescence with nine international versions airing in the U.S. and across Europe. Included in the cast is Sana, a veiled Muslim teen navigating her religious identity in the West. Every adaptation of Skam is shaped by its cultural context, revealing much about each nation’s anxieties surrounding Islam. In Skam, representation is mixed. Muslims functions as symbols of difference, a form of superfi…
Understanding Military Motherhood
Active-duty servicewomen's experiences of motherhood provide an important window into the impact of DOD family leave policies, as servicewomen are expected to meet gendered expectations attached to mothering and military service, which negatively impacts career longevity and job performance. Considering the stakes of work-family conflicts and social reach of the armed forces, servicewomen's experiences of work-family conflict warrant further inve…
How Reel Middle Easterners’ Portrayals Cultivate Stereotypical Beliefs and Policy Support
There is limited empirical research examining cultivation theory’s proposition that first-order estimates influence second-order attitudes. In two studies, we examine how Middle Easterners are portrayed on entertainment television and how these portrayals cultivate stereotypical beliefs and policy support. A content analysis in Study 1 finds that nearly half of Middle Eastern characters on entertainment television are portrayed as supporting terr…

Socializing Singlehood
Popular discourse characterizes single Black women as desperate and dysfunctional, constructions of single status that reinforce broader stereotypes of Black women. Unfortunately, relatively little is known about how Black women define singlehood for themselves. The relative omission of Black women’s self-defined experiences of unmarried life from research is a gap that limits scholarly understandings of singlehood and Black women’s lives. To add…

Pluralization of Security Education in the Czech Republic
In this article, we argue that although the Czech state may still be the dominant player in the Czech security field, its cultural power is continuously eroding due to the ongoing process of pluralization of security education. While in communist-era Czechoslovakia, only persons enlisted in service in the security forces could obtain military-oriented security education at state-run military and police schools, nowadays virtually anyone living in…
Gender, Race, and Risk
Sex worker experience of risk (e.g., physical violence or rape) is shaped by race, gender, and context. For web-based sex workers, experience of risk is comparatively minimal; what is unclear is how web-based sex workers manage risk and if online advertising plays a role in risk management. Building on intersectionality theory and research exploring risk management in sex work, we content-analyzed 600 escort advertisements from Backpage.com ( htt…
