There’s No Place Like It
Sociological attention to home has increased in the last couple decades, yet home has remained largely hidden within disparate subfields, not treated as an organizing concept in and of itself until recently. Recognizing the centrality of home to people’s life experiences and the (re)production of inequality, sociologists are now advocating for a new sociology of home. This conversation builds on those calls by appealing specifically to sociologis…
Elite Feminist Adherence and Framing
As feminist movements have become more diffuse, feminisms have increasingly emerged from and thrived within unexpected, “other” spaces. Elites have the potential to be powerful feminist adherents in social movement organizations as well as in these “other” spaces, yet we know little about the heterogeneity of their feminisms. We examined an understudied group of elites – women Nobel laureates – and the ways they forward a variety of feminisms acr…
The gendered effects of substance use on employment stability in transitional China
Substance use is often thought to harm employment prospects, an assumption challenged by the anomaly that people who use licit substances such as alcohol and tobacco are sometimes at a lower risk of unemployment. We argue that employment stability may benefit from the socialisation afforded through using licit substances, particularly in a context where licit substance use is encouraged. Furthermore, because the norms associated with substance us…
Passion on the plate
The culinary profession and discourses advocating the pursuit of passions have gained prominence in the American cultural landscape, along with having captured scholarly attention. Yet, research on career changes into culinary entrepreneurship is lacking. Drawing on interview and survey data, this article examines career changers' motivations for pursuing personal cheffing. Participants wanted to follow their passion, and they also were attracted…
Film Review
Seeking Self-Verification
Drawing on interviews with private and personal chefs, this study highlights the interplay between internal and external forces shaping boundary work. Private and personal chefs' social and professional position is ambiguous, and their employment is precarious. In order to navigate their uncertain standing and assert self-worth, some drew boundaries between themselves and clients. They disliked clients who were wasteful, lacked the 'right' motiva…
Gender Segregation in Higher Education
During the second half of the twentieth century, systems of higher education expanded and democratized around the world. Women's participation increased so dramatically that their numbers now surpass men's in many industrialized countries. But gender equalization has not occurred uniformly. Sex segregation of majors and degree programs is a striking feature of modern educational systems and a key reason for the ongoing social and economic inequal…
Who likes math where? Gender differences in eighth-graders’ attitudes around the world
Some of the most male-dominated science, technology, engineering and mathematics occupations and degree programmes are found in the world’s most affluent societies. This article assesses whether gender gaps in attitudes follow similarly surprising patterns. Multivariate analysis of eighth-graders’ affinity for mathematics and aspirations for mathematically related jobs in 53 countries shows that the attitudinal gender gap is indeed larger in affl…
Freedom between the lines
Our research examines the relationship among identity, age, gender and athleticism through a study of the association between sports clothing and the identity work of pre-adolescent female soccer players. Based on participant-observation and interviews conducted at three co-ed youth soccer camps, we find that age is an important element of identity, particularly as it intersects with the girls’ evolving understanding of femininity and engagement …
Barreras del Lenguaje
This article explores the effects of language differences on dynamics among youth athletes. Fifteen hours of participant observation were conducted with a youth soccer team, supplemented by five interviews with the coach and with players' parents. With a cohort consisting of a Spanish- and English-speaking bilingual coach, one fully bilingual player and another partly bilingual player, two Spanish-only-speaking players, and four English-only-spea…
Sociology in Two-Year Institutions
In the second half of the twentieth cen tury, both the number of two-year institu tions and the proportion of all college stu dents enrolled in community colleges ex panded rapidly (Kerr 1991). From 1950 through 1975, student enrollment in com munity colleges rose from just over a mil lion students to nearly four million. By the mid-1990s, community colleges employed over a third of this country's faculty (Lucas 1996). The number of four-year ins…
