By women, for women
The June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision, which leaked to the public in May 2022, overturned precedent which had provided federal protections for abortion access. News media in the US mobilized tabloid style reporting to cover the heated political moment and its aftermath. To understand the discursive and political work at play, our study asks how does Fox News construct Dobbs and what rhetoric does it mob…
“At the mercy of the State”
Grassroots Resistance and Racialized Erasure
Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people experience an incidence of disappearance, homicide, and sexual assault at rates 10 times higher than the national average. Despite these alarming statistics, Indigenous women and girls receive minimal coverage in mainstream media. This study addresses gaps in knowledge and aims to understand the lack of public attention in the U.S. by examining how the crisis of Missing and Indigenous Women, Girls, a…
Does historical loss impact the relation between ACEs and PTSD symptoms for American Indian and Alaska Native adults
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals experience disproportionate rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs; e.g., physical or emotional abuse and neglect) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, few studies have considered how historical loss may exacerbate the negative impact of ACEs in relation to PTSD symptoms, particularly among AI/AN adults. The current study examined how historical loss and historical loss‐associa…
Taking stock of caps on water use
Balancing water demands with available supplies on a scale that enables sustainable water use constitutes a complex governance challenge. Water managers face the daunting task of balancing water demands amidst variable supplies impacted by climate change and unsustainable extraction leading to drying lakes, depleted rivers, and shrinking aquifers. Traditionally, water managers have focused on bolstering water supplies to meet rising demands. Howe…
To See or Not to See
More than two-thirds of Latinx undergraduate students in the U.S. obtain their college degrees from Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI), a designation based on the proportion of students who are of Latinx descent and low-income, instead of any federal guidelines for serving Latinx students. Existing literature identifies factors that aid students’ success at HSIs, but there is little knowledge about how Latinx students experience newly designated…
Beyond the Positivism/Non-Positivism Binary as a Step Toward Inclusive Sociology
This article contributes to a movement to interrogate the history and foundation of sociology. The current hegemonic narrative credits a few European men for establishing sociology as a mechanism for using science to understand social conditions amid the rise of industrialization and modern capitalism. This hegemonic story defines positivism as a central concern in the foundation of the discipline, justifying its continued dominance in U.S. socio…
Racializing Motherhood and Maternity Care in News Representations of Breastfeeding
Racial inequalities in breastfeeding have been a U.S. national concern, prompting health science research and public discourse. Social science research reveals structural causes, including racism in labor conditions, maternity care practices, and lactation support. Yet research shows that popular and health science discourses disproportionately focus on individual and community factors, blaming Black women and communities for unequal breastfeedin…
Creating Intersectional Subjects
Reducing race disparities in breastfeeding has become a health objective in the United States, spurring research aimed to identify causes and consequences of disparate rates. This study uses critical discourse analysis to assess how Black women are constructed in 80 quantitative health science research articles on breastfeeding disparities in the United States. Our analysis is grounded in critical race and intersectionality scholarship, which arg…

Sharing Milk
Introduction
This chapter provides original sociological thinking in order to bear on contemporary gender relations, divisions, and issues of concern to feminists. It analyzes human milk-sharing communities in a large metropolitan area in southeastern United States. It also describes the practices of milk-sharing, the meanings ascribed to human milk, and the labour involved in its production. The chapter builds on existing scholarship and theoretical framewor…
Introduction
Others' Milk
From Yellow Peril to Model Minority
Objectives The purpose of this project is to assess (1) presence of anger toward Asian Americans “taking jobs,” and (2) whether stereotypes, feelings of competitive threat, and principles of equality predict increased presence of anger. Methods We used an experimental list survey of 416 participants, which reduces social desirability effects compared to traditional surveys. Results Findings show feelings of group competition and threat were stron…
Continuity and Change in Gender Frames
In this article, we examine the ways gendered frames shift to make room for societal changes while maintaining existing pillars of systemic gender inequality. Utilizing the case of U.S. media representations of transgender people who reproduce, we analyze how media outlets make room for increasing societal recognition of transgender people and maintain cisnormative and repronormative traditions and beliefs in the process. Specifically, we outline…
That's Not the Milk Sharing I'm Doing
An article published in the journal Pediatrics in 2013 revealing the presence of bacteria in breast milk purchased online resulted in increased media attention to peer-to-peer breast milk sharing. Media representations portray women who milk share as well-intentioned but uninformed about the possible dangers of milk sharing. Our study explores the reactions of mothers who milk share to media representations of the study. Data consist of an online…
Neutralizing the Maternal Breast
U.S. mothers receive messages that they should breastfeed their babies, yet there is little cultural support for public breastfeeding and evidence of heightened opposition in African American communities. We use a social constructionist perspective to analyze 22 African American mothers' breastfeeding in public narratives. Findings show that participants use varying definitions of 'public' in relation to breastfeeding that are based on geographic…
Breast is Best, Donor Next
Peer breastmilk sharing-the unregulated gifting of human milk for the purpose of feeding a child-is a growing practice in Western societies despite official warnings against it. Milk sharing occurs in a context of breastfeeding promotion, and cultural expectations that mothers take individual responsibility for their children's health, weigh expert recommendations on childrearing, and engage in responsible consumerism to minimize children's toxic…
Body-led mothering
Pure Gold for Broken Bodies
Technological advances provide increased ability to transfer human tissues—blood, organs, milk—from one body to another. This article analyzes mechanisms of reality construction in U.S. news to construct shared human breast milk. Articles used typifications and human interest stories to convey participants as victims, lay heroes, and villains. Milk banking was portrayed as institutionally integrated through associations, expert testimonies, and f…
The significance of place
The study assesses the overall impact of place of residence (urban and Southern) on gender-role attitudes. Past research has often implicated timing of socialization, posing that attitudinal formation occurs either during childhood or adulthood. We propose an additional and more nuanced model that points to place by arguing that social relations in urban and Southern locations have long-lasting and powerful effects on attitudes. Using nationally …
Liquid gold or Russian roulette? Risk and human milk sharing in the US news media
The exchange of human breast milk, a common and well-established practice, has become a site of public controversy in the US. There is controversy over the use of the internet to facilitate milk exchange and public interest in the practice has been stimulated by a research article published in the journal Pediatrics that identified high levels of potentially harmful bacteria in breast milk sold online. In this article we use feminist critical dis…
Good, Bad, and Extraordinary Mothers
Dominant discourses promote breastfeeding as essential to "good mothering," shown in research to set a difficult standard that many white mothers internalize. Little is known about African American mothers' perceptions of the connection between breastfeeding and mothering ideals. We analyzed perceptions of the relationship between breastfeeding and formula feeding and mothering through in-depth semistructured interviews with 22 predominantly midd…
Disciplining the Ethical Couponer
As the internet becomes increasingly important in establishing identities and social networks, it becomes a mechanism for social control. We apply the components of Foucault’s means of corrective training—hierarchical observation, normalizing judgment, and examination—to the comments section of a popular couponing blog to analyze tactics participants use to discipline each other’s couponing behaviors. We find Foucault’s framework applicable with …
The Interaction of Race and Gender
Objective. The purpose of this article is to assess over‐time trends in the interactive effects of gender and race on attitudes toward the changing roles of women in U.S. society. Methods. This article uses data from the 1974–2006 General Social Survey. Gender‐role attitudes are measured using two composite indices of traditionalism. Results. We find black females tend to hold less traditional gender‐role attitudes than their black male, white ma…
Beyond control
In the United States, childbearing is often conceptualised as a time when women lose self-control over their bodies. This project examines issues of bodily control through a social constructionist analysis of in-depth interviews with 18 predominantly white, working and middle class women who have recently given birth in the US. Findings indicate that many participants construct themselves as both in and out of control of their bodies during child…
Trends in Marital Happiness by Gender and Race, 1973 to 2006
This article uses data from the 1973-2006 General Social Survey to assess the interactive impact of race and gender on marital happiness over time. Findings indicate independent and significant effects for both variables, with Whites and husbands reporting greater marital happiness than Blacks and wives. Comparing four subgroups (White husbands, White wives, Black husbands, and Black wives), the authors find that White husbands report the highest…

Infant-feeding consumerism in the age of intensive mothering and risk society
The ideologies of intensive mothering and risk society place increasing burden on mothers to make critical choices regarding infant feeding that are understood as having irreversible consequences for their children's long-term health and emotional well-being. Although research has examined consequences of these ideologies on mothers’ decisions to breastfeed or formula-feed their infants, little has focused on consumer decisions regarding formulas…

The impact of place? A reassessment of the importance of the South in affecting beliefs about racial inequality
Research shows that individuals living in the southern part of the United States express more negative racial attitudes than those living outside the South. Using data from The American National Election Study (NES), the purpose of this paper is to assess whether key factors often associated with the Southern attitude distinction are indeed more potent in the South than elsewhere. Drawing data from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, we further assess w…

Understanding the determinants of consent for linkage of administrative health data with a longitudinal survey
The Survey of Families, Income and Employment (SoFIE) is a panel income study with a health component, including data linkage to national health databases. This paper investigates factors that predict consent to data linkage. SoFIE participants were asked permission to link their SoFIE records to administrative health data in Wave 3 of data collection. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association of sociodemographic variables with …

Ideal Female and Male Bodies
This study investigates perceptions of gendered body ideals through an analysis of college students' drawings. A sample of 94 college students participated by drawing their image of the ideal female and male bodies. The drawings were analyzed through a gender lens, whereby each participant‟s male and female bodies were compared to determine the features participants used to indicate gender in their ideal bodies. Four major themes emerged that dis…

Social Constructions of the Nonprejudiced White Self
Previous research indicates that racial and ethnic prejudice continues to be prevalent in U.S. society; however, the social-psychological processes of prejudice are not fully understood. Furthermore, much research on prejudice focuses on white against black prejudice, at the exclusion of other minority groups. The purpose of this chapter is to explore white prejudice against Latinos using in-depth interview data with college students. Findings in…
P2-266 Relative vs cancer-specific survival
Introduction Cancer-specific and relative survival analyses are the two main methods of estimating net cancer survival. Bias through misclassification of cause of death is well recognised for cancer-specific survival, but to date there has been no systematic examination of the potential bias from using an external comparison group for relative survival. This latter bias may be particularly important for smoking-related cancers where the expected …
P1-409 Differential loss of participants does not necessarily cause selection bias
Background Most research is affected by differential participation, where individuals who do not participate have different characteristics to those who do. This is often assumed to induce selection bias. However, selection bias only occurs if the exposure-outcome association differs for participants compared to non-participants. We empirically demonstrate that selection bias does not necessarily occur when there is varying participation in a stu…
P1-106 Capture-recapture analysis of all-cause mortality data in Bohol, Philippines
Introduction Despite the importance of mortality data, official reporting systems rarely capture every death. Completeness of death reporting and the subsequent effect on mortality estimates was examined in Bohol province in the Philippines using a system review and capture-recapture analysis. Methods Records of deaths were collected from local civil registration offices, health centres and hospitals, and parish churches, and reconciled using a s…
P1-206 Effects of childhood socioeconomic position on subjective health and health behaviours in adulthood
Introduction We examine the potential mediating role of multiple individual indicators of adult socioeconomic position (SEP) in the associations of childhood SEP with self-reported health measures and health behaviours. Methods Data came from Wave 3 of the Survey of Family, Income and Employment. Childhood SEP was measured using parental occupation. Adult SEP was measured using education, household income, labour market activity and area deprivat…
O1-2.5 Fallibility in estimating indirect effects
Introduction Smoking is the largest single cause of preventable mortality and morbidity in Australia and many countries globally. The limited existing evidence suggests that smokers user fewer general practitioner (GP) services, but more hospital services, than non-smokers, and may not be benefitting from secondary prevention. We investigated use of GP services by Australians aged 45 years and over according to smoking status. Methods Analysis of…
SP3-48 Routine mortality and cause of death reporting and analysis systems in seven Pacific Island countries
Introduction Statistics on mortality levels and causes of death are essential for health planning. However, at the end of 2003, only 7 of 27 countries in the Western Pacific Region had data available on causes of death. Routine death reporting systems across seven Pacific Island Countries; Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu, are examined. Strengths and limitations common across national systems are identified, and sy…
