On Integrity and the Risk of Generational Loss
Though its claims to “leveling the playing field,” are dubious, sex verification remains part of elite women's athletics. One of its latest iterations, testing and treatment for “excessive testosterone,” is championed by sports governing bodies on the grounds of “preserving the integrity of female competition.” I examine this claim in light of the decade of scrutiny South African runner Caster Semenya has endured regarding her sex.

Variability in Weight Concern and Physical Activity Engagement Among African American Adolescent Girls
White Matters
The author reflects on the qualitative research process as both a first-time researcher and as a white woman doing research on African American men. This includes reflections on the assumption that the primary motivation for the researcher is romantically motivated, a discussion of racist sexism, and the nature of qualitative evidence, in particular that collected in a cross-race researcher-participant relationship. The research process and exper…
Voluntary Association Membership
This project explores the meaning of membership for members of a Black Greek organization (BGO) and uncovers how the members utilize the fraternity to create various connections. It incorporates underutilized research on voluntary associations and draws attention to a necessary distinction between membership in a BGO and membership in a traditionally White Greek organization
Perceptions of the Religion-Health Connection Among African American Church Members
In this qualitative study, the authors examine perceptions of the religiosity-health connection among African American church members.

Participants described the religiosity-health connection in their own words and talked about whether and how their religious beliefs and practices…

We describe culture and how it may be applied in audience segmentation and introduce a model of health communication planning—McGuire's communication/persuasion model—as a framework for considering the ways in which culture may influence health communication effectiveness. For three components of the model (source, message, and channel fact…
