The Case for Shared Religious Education
This paper conceptualises 'shared religious education' as a way for religious educators to reflect on how their subject might respond to a global need for cooperation and mutual understanding. In the context of migration, climate crisis and violent conflict, European societies are increasingly plural, yet subject to processes of individualization and competition which undermine people's ability to cooperate and share across their respective cultu…
Setting a Pedagogical Course: Four Modes Clarifying the Dynamics of Shared Religious Education
On the level of fundamental didactic decisions and hermeneutic clarifications, this article examines the possible orientations of Shared Religious Education. The prerequisite for this is the assumption that in such lessons, the opportunity should be used to empower children and young people to become personally and creatively involved in teaching and learning when different denominations, religions, and worldviews come together in education. Agai…
An Exploration of the Relationship between PBIS and Discipline Outcomes for Students With Disabilities
To support all students, including students with disabilities, many schools have adopted a positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) framework. Although rigorous research documents the beneficial effects of Tier 1 PBIS for all students and emerging research extends these findings to students with disabilities, there has not been a national U.S. study focused on PBIS and discipline outcomes for students with disabilities. In this explo…

Anti-Sexual Harrassment Campaign in Egypt
This article analyzes how, for the decade before the Arab Spring, the Egyptian Center for Women's Rights (ECWR) promoted women's issues and sustained its campaign against widespread sexual harassment in Egypt. The article also reviews ECWR's activities after the mass mobilizations of the January 25th revolution. In authoritarian states, the risks inherent in challenging the regime decrease the probability that challenges will ever emerge or, if t…
International Rentierism in the Middle East Africa, 1971–2008
What is the trend in rentierism in the Middle East and North Africa? Defining a rentier state as one that extracts a significant share of its revenues from rents extracted from international transactions, we examine a range of such transactions that together constitute a third or more of the Middle East/North Africa economies. Outlining a rentierism index that is based on the share of GDP stemming from oil/mineral exports, foreign military and ec…
Religion in Global Perspective: SSSR Presidential Panel
Global processes present a challenge for scholarly work on religion, necessitating new concepts, theoretical and analytical models, intellectual sensitivity, and imagination. This calls for focusing on (1) cross-border interpenetration of religious organizations, beliefs, and practices; (2) variations in the potential for religious beliefs and institutions to be transported; and (3) the use of multiple frames of reference to examine the dispersio…
Women's Rights in the Middle East: A Longitudinal Study of Kuwait
This research identifies structural, cultural, and dynamic elements operating in the campaign for women's rights in Kuwait. Using data from multiple sources, it focuses on the main characteristics and patterns of activism starting from the Gulf War of 1990–1991, paying particular attention to its growth and decline during the 1990s, an understudied period in the literature on women's movements in the Middle East. Our findings underscore the embed…

Religious Noncoercive and Coercive Regulations: A New Typology for Cross-National Research
This article aims to increase our understanding of governmental regulations on the practice of religion by majority and minority religious groups in the Middle East from 1990 to 2002. We utilize data from the Religion and State project (Fox 2003) to examine the breadth and severity of religious regulations, control, and support across newly created categories that measure the types of regulations placed on religious groups. We also examine the ch…
Religion and Support for Democracy: A Crossnational Examination
This article examines citizens' support for democracy across forty-six nations. The authors use multilevel modeling and data from the World Values Survey and other sources to assess individuals' support for democracy in light of broader country-level factors as well as individual proclivities toward religion, politics and community. Findings suggest that the predominance of a particular religion in a nation does not influence individuals' views i…
Évolution des sources de soutien en faveur des droits politiques des femmes
La recherche sur l’évolution des droits politiques des femmes s’intéresse souvent à la présence ou à l’absence manifeste d’améliorations des politiques nationales et internationales ou à la proportionnalité entre les sexes dans les institutions représentatives aux niveaux international, national et local. L’opinion du public quant aux droits des femmes est un important corollaire de ces travaux, car elle est l’un des fondements de la légitimité d…
Changed Political Attitudes in the Middle East: The Case of Kuwait
The groundswell of interest in Middle Eastern public opinion that arose from debates over the 'third wave' of democracy and the 'clash of civilizations' as well as from September 11 spawned numerous surveys from 2000 on. However, surveys from the Middle East, particularly longitudinal ones, are largely absent from earlier decades and limit ability to contextualize current findings. Drawing on three surveys from the 1990s, this article examines ch…
The Relationship Between Gender Equality and Democracy: A Comparison of Arab Versus Non-Arab Muslim Societies
Inglehart and Norris argue that the core clash between the Islamic world and the West is over issues concerning gender equality rather than democracy. However, a comparison between Arab and non-Arab Muslim societies is essential before drawing this conclusion. Here, we compared nations from each society and found significant differences in attitudes toward gender equality, democratic governance and religious identities. We analyzed models predict…
Changing sources of support for women's political rights
Much research investigating changes in women's political rights focuses on the presence or absence of improvement that is evident in national and international policies or on gender proportionality in representative institutions at international, national, and local levels. Public opinion about women's rights is an important corollary to this research because it underpins the legitimacy of policies and representative bodies. However, if examined …
Gender, Politics, and Islam
This collection extends the boundaries of global feminism to include Islamic women. Challenging Orientalist assumptions of Muslim women as victims of Islam, these essays focus on women's negotiations for identity, power and agency as participants in religious, cultural and nationalist movements. This book gathers essays from the journal Signs on women in the Middle East, South Asia and the Diaspora to explore how women negotiate identities and at…

Household, Gender, and Political Responses to Economic Downturn
Although sociologists have given increased attention to political responses of populations experiencing economic restructuring, existing research remains conceptually limited. Building upon resource mobilization theory and longstanding structural approaches, we extend the conceptual discourse of mobilization by considering alternative bases of action involving the household and its gendered relationships. We provide an empirical example using dat…

Women's Political Rights: Islam, Status and Networks in Kuwait
During the last decade, there have been signs of increased democratization in the Middle East. Yet women's political rights remain limited. In this article we focus on Kuwait, a country representative of how citizenship rights have been gendered in the Middle East. Some Kuwaiti women's groups support expanding women's political rights. This article seeks to determine if they have potential allies in the general population. Using survey data from …
The Great Agricultural Transition: Crisis, Change, and Social Consequences of Twentieth Century US Farming
One of the most profound changes in the United States in the past century is the national abandonment of farming as a livelihood strategy. This change is evident both in the exodus of Americans from farming and in the conditions faced by the farmers remaining, most of whom are marginal producers in an increasingly concentrated industry. In this article, we provide a retrospective account of the empirical and sociological fate of family farmers. W…

Legislative Influence: Toward Theory Development through Causal Analysis
Theory and empirical findings were combined to develop a causal model of reputed influence in legislatures. The model was tested for majority and minority members in a one-party dominant state legislature (North Carolina) where 99 percent of the legislators were interviewed. Emergent models illustrated majority-minority differences. Minority members needed expertise in certain legislative areas and formal office more than majority members to be c…

This paper examines the compatibility of Islam and the extension of women's rights, one element of democratization, with attention to social complexities within Muslim societies and to religious distinctions within Islam. A random sample of 1,500 Kuwaiti citizens, surveyed in 1994, provided data on individuals' status differences, their religious beliefs and practices and their embeddeness into social networks which are sources of attitude suppor…
Economic Decline, Gender, and Labor Flexibility in Family-Based Enterprises: Midwestern Farming in the 1980s
During economic downturns, traditional gender allocations of labor have been considered to vary more than in prosperous times. While most studies have examined the division of labor in the household or in paid employment, we examined it where both intersect, in family-owned and family-operated enterprises in the farm sector of the 1980s. This context, combining crisis conditions and the agency of economic actors, should be related to greater flex…
Collecting Data on Crowds and Rallies: A New Method of Stationary Sampling
This paper proposes a field procedure for collecting data at stationary mass rallies. Noting the research gap in adequate data about ongoing gatherings, we present a set of techniques summarized under the name zone-sector strategies. We emphasize area sampling, dividing the crowd into zones and sectors, and collecting data during stationary phases of assemblages. We also employ two-member interview teams, in an effort to collect reliable informat…

Youth at a Leftist and Rightist Political Rally: Reasons for Participating
This paper investigates the degree of uniqueness of the contribution of youth to an anti-war rally of 1970. It contrasts that contribution to the part played by youth at a pro-war rally of the same year. Both rallies took place near the Washington Monument in Washington, D. C. Data collection consisted of on-the-spot interviews of a sample of participants at both rallies. The focus of the interview was on reasons expressed by participants for the…
