The Influence of Academic Internships on Work Readiness and Early Career Trajectory: A Model of Anticipatory Socialization
To explore how internship participation improves work readiness and influences early career trajectory we applied grounded theory methods to data generated from a series of reflective writing assignments collected from 50 undergraduate criminal justice students during a semester-long internship. We developed a model of anticipatory socialization illustrating the process through which professional development occurs via internship participation. G…
Adverse bias experiences: Mechanisms of Racism, Sexism, and Heterosexism in the University Context
Pierce (1970) originally conceptualized microaggressions as incessant "subtle and stunning" assaults on Blacks which function to emphasize their presumed lesser status relative to Whites. Recent scholars have expanded and applied the concept to domains other than race, such as gender and sexual identity. This research indicates a lack of consensus regarding the type of bias-based behavior to which the concept applies. I situate microaggressions w…
The sociopolitical liberalization of young adults: Transforming a dominated habitus
Since the 1940s research has suggested that higher education has a liberalizing influence on sociopolitical orientation, although none has demonstrated how this might occur. In the U.S. there is an increasing trend among conservative politicians and media to depreciate the value of a college education, by alleging that college turns people into liberals. To examine the charge that 'college turns people into liberals', I conducted biographical nar…
Sea turtle conservation: Volunteers’ experience of symbolic threat
Most research on environmental conservation organizations addresses volunteers’ motivations. A few studies analyze volunteers’ production of ecological knowledge and their contributions to science. There is scant research into organization members’ experiences as they perform their roles as conservation volunteers. This study examines the processes through which conservation volunteers derive meaning from their experiences using a case study of a…
Factors Influencing Achievement in Undergraduate Social Science Research Methods Courses: A Mixed Methods Analysis
Undergraduate social science research methods courses tend to have higher than average rates of failure and withdrawal. Lack of success in these courses impedes students’ progression through their degree programs and negatively impacts institutional retention and graduation rates. Grounded in adult learning theory, this mixed methods study examines the factors that influence student achievement in these courses among a sample of 724 social scienc…
Urban crime rates and the changing face of immigration: Evidence across four decades
Research has shown little support for the enduring proposition that increases in immigration are associated with increases in crime. Although classical criminological and neoclassical economic theories would predict immigration to increase crime, most empirical research shows quite the opposite. We investigate the immigration-crime relationship among metropolitan areas over a 40 year period from 1970 to 2010. Our goal is to describe the ongoing a…
Cascading Losses: A Case Study of Suffering From Aids and Head and Neck Cancer
In this case study, we analyzed an online illness narrative written by a middle-aged man living with HIV/AIDS who received a diagnosis of squamous cell cancer of the tongue. We found that the onset of a second illness initiated a series of cascading losses that became increasingly problematic, severe, and interconnected. In response to these losses, the author developed several coping strategies, including sharing his story with others and engagi…
Dual, Yet Dueling Illnesses: Multiple Chronic Illness Experience at Midlife
The prevalence of multiple chronic illnesses is increasing dramatically, especially among those in middle adulthood, yet much prior research has focused on the experience of multiple morbidity among older adults. We examined the online illness narratives (blogs) of 10 men and women aged 36 to 59 to better understand the experience of living with multiple chronic illnesses at midlife. Multiple morbidity presents distinct challenges to those at mid…
Accounting for the Performance of Environmentally Significant Behavior: The Symbolic Significance of Recycling
The scientific community has pronounced climate change unequivocal and its consequences disastrous. Yet Americans' behavioral response to the global social problem of environmental degradation has been largely confined to the individual act of recycling. This article examines why Americans are not doing more to address climate change and other environmental issues. Taking a cognitive sociological perspective, I describe how Americans think about …
