‘Hallucination’
Preparing for exclusion
Forces to Be Reckoned with
The 'countervailing powers' framework conceptualizes health care as an arena for power contests among key stakeholders, drawing attention to the moves, countermoves, and alliances that have challenged physicians' dominance since the 1970s. Here, we focus on one of the lesser known micro-level consequences of such forces for physicians: emotional distress. We draw on 145 interviews with frontline physicians across four U.S. cities during the COVID…
The limits of feminization
As more women enter traditionally male-dominated professions, it is important to understand how feminization has-or has not-impacted work cultures, with implications for women's mental wellbeing. Research on proportional representation and mental health suggests that as professions feminize, women's mental wellbeing should benefit from shifting peer cultures. However, gender stratification scholars argue that interactional cultures are also shape…

Making the Cut
Little is known about how employers interpret prestigious and non-prestigious credentials in professional recruitment, or how organizations shape and structure this process. Such research is needed to elucidate how employers and organizations contribute to stratification among professionals based on social class, especially since graduates of less selective schools tend to come from lower-SES backgrounds. Using data from a comparative ethnography…
The Resurgence of Medical Education in Sociology
From 1940 to 1980, studies of medical education were foundational to sociology, but attention shifted away from medical training in the late 1980s. Recently, there has been a marked return to this once pivotal topic, reflecting new questions and stakes. This article traces this resurgence by reviewing recent substantive research trends and setting the agenda for future research. We summarize four current research foci that reflect and critically …
Toward a sociology of finitude
Values at the End of Life
Why are so many health professionals—who have been trained to prolong human life by aggressively fighting disease—increasingly advocating for less invasive and costly treatment at the end-of-life? This is the puzzle at the center of Roi Livne’s book, Values at the End of Life: The Logic of Palliative Care. In this masterfully researched work, Livne argues that there are two competing economies in the healthcare system: one that aims to aggressive…

Values at the End of Life
Dual Autonomies, Divergent Approaches
The United States relies on international and osteopathic medical graduates ('non-USMDs') to fill one third of residency positions because of a shortage of American MD graduates ('USMDs'). Non-USMDs are often informally excluded from top residency positions, while USMDs tend to fill the most prestigious residencies. Little is known, however, about whether the training in these different settings is comparable or how it impacts patients. Drawing o…
Dying
Negotiating intersex
Performing neoliberal governmentality
This article analyses the financialization of sovereign debts as a process that reconstitutes statehood. Focusing on Israel, we argue that the financialization of its sovereign debt and the professionalization of this debt's management reconfigured the state's relationship with its citizens and transformed it into a market relationship. Drawing on observations and in-depth interviews conducted in the Israeli Government Debt Management Unit, we de…
It's time she stopped torturing herself
Economies of Dying
As efforts are made to contain health care spending, the decision to stop trying to cure severely ill patients and focus on comfort care has become an economic as well as a moral issue. This article examines the intricate intersection of economics and morality in U.S. hospice care. Using historical, interview, and ethnographic methods, I explain the resonance between hospice practitioners' moral motivations and policymakers', insurers', and provi…
Clothing norms as markers of status in a hospital setting
This article uses a Bourdieusian framework to understand the importance of clothing norms for symbolizing and reproducing social, as well as professional, hierarchy in hospitals. Using data from participant observation, it examines how a complex yet informal dress code has emerged at a community hospital in the Northeastern United States, in a setting where very few formal guidelines exist on how to dress. By conceptualizing professionals as hold…
Sex, Gender, Genetics, and Health
This article addresses 2 questions. First, to what extent are sex and gender incorporated into research on genetics and health? Second, how might social science understandings of sex and gender, and gender differences in health, become more integrated into scholarship in this area? We review articles on genetics and health published in selected peer-reviewed journals. Although sex is included frequently as a control or stratifying variable, few a…
From diagnosis to social diagnosis
Patients, Practitioners, and Paradoxes
Twenty-one respondents in Havana, Cuba, were interviewed for the purpose of understanding the challenges facing the Cuban health care system since the 1990s and the individual solutions that have been proposed to these challenges. Three major shortages were identified: a lack of medication, a lack of medical supplies, and a lack of medical professionals. Consequently, informal coping mechanisms, such as the black market and using personal connect…
