Thelma
This interpretive biography of the author's mother Thelma Boyd Johnson (1913-2001) charts various critical points in her life, from its beginning on a farm in central Indiana to an urban life of motherhood, a career in banking, and her passions for reading and family
Making a Difference With Participatory Democracy
From many disciplines come the calls for academic researchers and specialists to seek a greater participation in the public sphere. In a mass mediated age, these calls imply a greater participation with mass media sources and operatives. Many of us have had considerable experience with mass media, and the problems and limitations of these relationships are described. More effective strategies for making a public impact are described. These involv…
Guns as a Symbol of (Fill-in-the-Blank)
Guns are symbolic of many things in America, but a critical assessment of these semiotic narratives shows them to be seriously limited in understanding the nature of gun violence in the United States, which has killed 30,000 per year on average for over two decades, 75 times more than all military fatalities in America's 'longest war' (in Afghanistan). An additional 70,000 people on average are wounded per year, again for over two decades. Gun vi…
Justice! Ay! Ay! Ayotzinapa
Freedom Works! The Vision and Broken Heart of Jack D. Douglas
Editor's IntroductionIt gives me particular pleasure to publish this review of a major but neglected figure in the recent history of symbolic interactionism. I only heard Jack Douglas speak once, when he gave a plenary address to the British Sociological Association annual conference in Lancaster in the mid-1980s. The audience treated him quite disgracefully on that occasion. Douglas made two subtle points about the need for sociologists to take …
Scholarly Innovation for Difficult Times
Our current global situation is characterized by multiple crises, implying a need to think outside traditional disciplines and boundaries. Problem-based, international teams of collaborative workers, scholars, and researchers are needed to bring new knowledge and perspective to our situation. This congress is a good beginning point for this process
National to Global Citizenship
Nation-states are located at a moment in time, beginning with the First Industrial Revolution, when parties struggled for military and political access to natural (largely fossil) resources. This produced horrendous consequences of 20th-century wars and conflicts, costing millions of lives. We now face the tasks of developing a biosphere consciousness, based on our recognition of common connectivity. This new era presents new and difficult challe…
Gendered Politics in the Modern South
On October 25, 1994, in Union, South Carolina, Susan Smith reported to police that her two young sons had been kidnapped by a carjacker, whom she described as an African American male. After nine days of intense media coverage, the police elicited a shocking confession: there was no kidnapper; Smith had allowed her car to roll down a boat ramp into a lake, drowning her children. Rather than providing a straightforward history of the events, this …
Creating Justice
Reflecting on his five decades of passionate involvement in justice scholarship, teaching, and community action, a senior scholar offers some observations about the long path from Plato to Rawls, and how this relates to daily practice and political involvement. The Western justice tradition is very cerebral and rational, whereas real-world involvements are very emotional and ethically ambiguous. What does one need to know to be a conscious and et…
In-Depth Interviewing
Imagining Imagination
Purpose – With an acknowledgement to Benedict Anderson's seminal writings on “imagined communities,” this paper examines several meanings and uses of the concept of imagination: theoretical, methodological, and substantive.Methodology/approach – Application of these meanings are illustrated from eight qualitative researches, combining direct observations, interviews, participant observation, and document analysis.Findings – Data are drawn from di…
The Interpersonal Dynamics of in-Depth Interviewing
Normal Crimes at Penn State
The child sexual molestation scandal at Penn State University reveals important distinctions between 'normal crimes' and scandals, with the latter providing evidence of institutional or leadership corruption. The usual attempts at institutional containment of scandal prove difficult or impossible when narratives of fear are joined to significant cultural symbols, like children
J'accuse
The current economic and political crises are reviewed, and the prospects for a violent cataclysm within the American context are explored. Suggestions for a constructive response are made
Living in Arizona
Two sociologists reflect on nearly 4 decades of living in Arizona, which has emerged as a center of reactionary politics. Draconian immigration policies are contextualized with a gun culture, demographic shifts, and a mass media emphasis on fear. Comparisons with the national crime and social control agenda are offered
Strong emotions at work
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the emotional experiences from qualitative research can enrich organization and management studies. Design/methodology/approach The paper's approach includes a review of the literature in sociology, anthropology, psychology, and feminist studies, in which scholars have argued convincingly for the explicit need to acknowledge and utilize the emotions of researchers as they study social and or…
The Top Ten Death Penalty Myths
The death penalty remains one of the most controversial issues in the United States. Its proponents claim many things in their defense of its continued application. For example, they claim that it deters crime, that death by lethal injection is painless and humane, that it is racially neutral, and that it provides closure to families of the victims. In this comprehensive review of the major death penalty issues, the authors systematically dismant…
Victim Protection Orders and the Stake in Conformity Thesis
The Social Construction of Validity
In-Depth Interviewing
Misery and Company
Candace Clark here seeks to identify the role plays in constructing the social order of American society. She explores the difference it makes for individuals, for relationships and for group solidarity if one person gives or withholds from another. She finds that when we sympathize, we not only express our concern and caring for another, but accrue sympathy credits for ourselves. Claiming, receiving, owing and giving are all subject to an intric…
In Dispraise of Justice
Ancient and modern theories of justice are analyzed for the purpose of beginning to develop a new theory which is consistent with the symbolic interaction research tradition and the lived experiences of interactionists. The Reflexive Theory of Justice emphasizes lived emotions, meaningful interpretations, social process, the reality of gender and other structured categories of interpretation, the primacy of pragmatic context, and the personal nat…

Program Enterprise and Official Cooptation in the Battered Women's Shelter Movement
Violent or abusive acts between family members have inspired much recent media and public interest. Media reports routinely publicize scientific surveys showing a greater incidence of family violence, and (scientific and lay) theories speculating on its social causes. These reports include information on the rapid growth of shelters for battered women during the late 1970s. While attentions are riveted on the above questions, few think to ask wha…
