Grandma is the next best thing to mommy’: Incarcerated motherhood, caring relationships and maternal identity
Incarcerated mothers face a role conflict rooted in separation from children. Little research has examined how incarcerated mothers perceive, give meaning to and negotiate caregiver relationships. Drawing on interviews with 83 mothers in a county jail, we find that the mothers experienced ‘ambivalent gratitude’: they were grateful to caregivers for caring for their children and helping them stay connected during incarceration, but often felt shut…
“We Are God’s Children, Y’all”: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Lesbian- and Gay-Affirming Congregations
God’s will is expressed in a heterosexual family in which male and female are complementary and the primary purpose of sex is procreation. Although evangelicals may redefine male headship in everyday life, the gendered, heterosexual family remains at the heart of conservative Christianity. Homosexuality carries a heavy stigma within Christianity, placing lesbians, gays, and bisexuals on lesser ground than their straight counterparts. Church membe…

Emotional Labor in Critical Ethnographic Work: In the Field and Behind the Desk
In this article, the concept of emotional labor is used to capture dilemmas of critical ethnographic research. We frame our experiences not simply as "confessional tales," or personalized accounts of how researchers experience their fieldwork, but as part of critical methodology itself. We identify three strategies for transforming our emotional labor into an analytic tool: contextualizing emotions, using emotions to unmask power in the research …

This article describes an intersectional approach to teaching about domestic violence (DV), which aims to empower students as critical thinkers and agents of change by merging theory, service learning, self-reflection, and activism. Three intersectional strategies and techniques for teaching about DV are discussed: promoting difference-consciousness, complicating gender-only power frameworks, and organizing for change. The author argues that to e…

We are God's Children, Y'All: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Lesbian- and Gay-Affirming Congregations
This article examines how lesbian, gay, and straight-but-affirming members of lesbian- and gay-affirming churches in the South challenged a deep-rooted Christian belief in homosexual sin. Data are taken from 200 hours of participant observation and 25 in-depth interviews in two Protestant churches: one predominantly black, working class, lesbian, and evangelical, and the other mostly white, middle class, heterosexual, and liberal. I identify thre…
The New Religious Rite: A Symbolic Interactionist Case Study of Lesbian Commitment Rituals
Despite the legal and religious establishment's denial of rights and recognition to same-gender couples, many lesbians and gay men are adapting and/or creating their own rituals to affirm their commitments to each other. This article uses participant observation of a black lesbian couple's shower and holy union ceremony to explore the multiple and competing meanings attached to the ritualistic symbols and narratives they incorporated. I seek to c…
