Testing the greenwashing assessment framework
Greenwashing is of growing concern as the world struggles to respond to the triple planetary crises of pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. New terminology to label greenwashing has entered public discourse and new policies and legal processes have challenged green claims, particularly in advertising. These developments demand a review and revision of the terminology used in greenwashing research and analysis of its application to st…

Hunger
This entry examines hunger by presenting both its conceptualization and a synopsis of key sociological contributions to this area of research. The sociology of hunger entails disentangling the complexities of the concept with the help of the theory and the methods it has at its disposal. Examining the issue both in the United States and around the world, sociologists emphasize the structural conditions that generate hunger, locating the experienc…
"Mined" for Its Citizens? Poverty, Opportunity Structure, and Appalachian Soldier Deaths in the Iraq War
This paper examines the opportunity structures of the places from which a subset of US soldiers who have fought and died in Iraq have come, using a spatial inequality framework on poverty and connecting it to research on the military and society. Focusing on Appalachia and the villages, cities, and counties that were the homes to 370 of the combat deaths in Iraq, findings reveal that "place matters" for the opportunities available to the citizenr…

Communicating Injustice
This study examines online collective action concerning grievances of farmers whose land was expropriated by the Chinese government for economic development. Such actions have resulted in numerous conflicts between officials and farmers who fear losing their sole survival source without adequate compensation. The authors examine two cases of such grievances: the Wang Shuai and Wu Baoquan Incidents. These cases were initiated by aggrieved ‘netizen…

Gender, development, and HIV/Aids
This article examines child well-being in less industrialized societies through a gender and development perspective. Using a quantitative, cross-national analysis of data from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) among other sources, I find that child HIV/AIDS infections and adult female prevalence of the disease increase child mortality while female empowerment and gender eq…
New Direction and Discovery on the Hunger Front
In this paper I examine themes for sociological inquiry on food security/insecurity and the expanded role of sociology in a new discovery of this issue that connects research, teaching, and action. I establish the sociological significance of food security/insecurity through a number of interconnected, specialized thematic clusters including population, environment, and ecology; technology, development, and infrastructure; politics and the global…
Years of C. Wright Mills and The Sociological Imagination
Military Famine, Human Rights, and Child Hunger
Discussions of world hunger have focused on economic growth and international food aid, assuming that food supply is the critical issue. The authors show that food access rooted in social stratification and military power is the central problem. Synthesizing the entitlement and military famine approaches to hunger, the authors examine the effects of food supply, economic growth, social stratification, and military power on child hunger in less de…

Food Security and Comparative Sociology
This article examines the role of comparative sociological perspectives for explaining food security. Because food security is an interdisciplinary concept with numerous economic, political, and social considerations, sociology is particularly well suited for examining it-with strengths from using multiple theories and testing such propositions with rigorous methods to determine the most proximate explanations for the dynamics of hunger. The arti…
Military Power and Food Security
Addressing the long-standing debate over the social impact of military power and recent discussions of military-induced famine, we conduct a panel analysis of aggregate food supply and child hunger rates in 75–79 less-developed countries (LDCs). Distinguishing between militarization, as the growth of military resources, and militarism, as the use of military force to handle political conflicts, we show that militarization is both beneficial and d…
Food Security in Less Developed Countries, 1970 to 1990
Despite a global food surplus, almost half of the world's less developed countries suffer significant problems concerning food. Most social science and policy discussions of food security make the "food availability" assumption that increased food supply is the key to reducing hunger. Critics argue, however, that increased food supply has little impact on hunger and that the primary culprits are entrenched inequality and militarism. A lagged pane…
The Cartoon Society
In this paper we introduce a wonderful video resource that can enhance the undergraduate learning experience. The animated television series. The Simpsons, can be particuarly effective for illustrating sociological themes and encouraging critical thinking among todays undergraduates. Borrowing from Mills (1959), the Simpsons complements teaching philosophies that stress applying the sociological imagination to the observation of everyday life. We…
