Queering the Sociology of Religion
The project of queering the sociology of religion relates to intersectionality in that both approaches interrogate religion’s embeddedness in a much larger social reality. Intersectionality has gained prominence in the subfield over the last decade, but less attention has been paid to applying queer theory to the sociological study of religion, a reality that may be related to subdisciplinary discomfort with the topic of sex and, to a lesser exte…
Why Religion Is Good for American Democracy, by Robert WUTHNOW
When I first encountered the title of Robert Wuthnow’s new book, Why Religion Is Good for American Democracy, I was a bit skeptical. Rising Christian nationalism has wreaked havoc on American democracy, a reality embodied in the images of armed men praying in the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021 insurrection. The alarming actions taken by some religious people that day demonstrate some of the ways that religion intersects with political id…

Religion Is Raced
Demonstrates how race and power help to explain American religion in the twenty-first century When white people of faith act in a particular way, their motivations are almost always attributed to their religious orientation. Yet when religious people of color act in a particular way, their motivations are usually attributed to their racial positioning. Religion Is Raced makes the case that religion in America has generally been understood in ways…
Religion in the Age of Social Distancing
In this brief note written during a global pandemic, we consider some of the important ways this historical moment is altering the religious landscape, aiming our investigative lens at how religious institutions, congregations, and individuals are affected by the social changes produced by COVID-19. This unprecedented time prompts scholars of religion to reflect on how to strategically approach the study of religion in the time of 'social distanc…
Representative Group Styles
Why are some organizations more successful than others at involving socially diverse groups of people? Previous research emphasizes the role representative leaders play in recruiting diverse constituencies. This study extends that research by analyzing how an organization's group style-its customs that shape everyday interactions-influences constituent involvement by either bridging or reinforcing social divides. Our multi-method approach examine…
Religion, Race, and Immigration in Contemporary America
Due in part to immigration, religion in contemporary America is more religiously and racially diverse than ever before. Much of this diversity remains hidden, since many American congregations remain racially and ethnically segregated. Multiracial congregations are becoming more common, but they often adopt the beliefs and practices of majority-white religious traditions and embrace narratives of color-blindness while leaving structural racism un…
Muslim American Activism in the Age of Trump
The presidency of Donald Trump has roused progressive Americans, including religious progressives, to become more involved in politics. While Muslim Americans are not uniformly progressive, many have serious concerns about Trump’s presidency, partly rooted in his anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies. This article asks: how are Muslim Americans responding to the Trump era, and what can this teach us about religious activism in the United States today…

Encounters at the Religious Edge
In a time of increasing religious diversity, interfaith political coalitions have become important settings for interreligious interaction, but little research has explored the types of religious expression that are generated therein. Prevailing theories in the sociology of religion indicate that interaction with religious others results in dilution of traditional religious commitments or production of stronger boundaries. But emerging perspectiv…

Explaining Political Violence Against Civilians in Northern Ireland
In contrast to prevalent theories of terrorism, this study develops a contention-oriented approach where levels and forms of political violence against civilians depend upon: (1) the strategies of combatants; (2) the means of contention; (3) the locations of allies and opponents; (4) the collective identities of combatants; and (5) the dynamics of contention, including whether or not representatives of paramilitary organizations are included in f…
Boundary Work in Inclusive Religious Groups
Many religious groups use symbolic boundary work to construct distinctive collective identity. While boundary drawing may be unproblematic for some, it can create conflict for “inclusive ” groups. How do inclusive groups construct and solidify identity and commitment? If they use boundary work, how do they manage the conflict between exclusive "othering " and inclusiveness? I show that while members of the inclusive New York Catholic Worker use b…
