There’s widespread consensus that racism, sexism, and classism are pervasive social problems requiring consensus and coordination to address. However, a recent study in the American Journal of Sociology suggests that Americans understand these problems in very different terms. Using a mixed-methods approach combining interviews with a nationally representative survey, sociologists Lauren Valentino and Evangeline Warren […]| Articles – Contexts

Protect the dolls. Inspired by the 1980s ballroom scene and popularized by fashion designer Conner Ives, this phrase calls on allies to challenge anti-trans discrimination and hate-motivated violence. Why? Because rights are being stripped away—from White House Executive Orders on “gender ideology extremism” to the U.K. Supreme Court ruling that a woman is someone born […]| Articles – Contexts

With the explosion of genetic ancestry testing, more and more Americans are connecting with new parts of their ethno-racial identities. But does a White suburban New Yorker finding out they are 4% Cherokee make them Indigenous? If they believe it does, what are the implications for our everyday understandings of racial identity? A new article […]| Articles – Contexts
How do online interactions mirror societal norms? A recent Social Psychology Quarterly article reveals that even those online spaces that are collectively supportive against racism and sexism are rife with the sorts of limiting societal expectations imposed on racialized women in the offline world. Using interview data from 18 Black and Asian women, Paulina d.C. […]| Articles – Contexts

Media coverage of race and higher education in the United States often portrays Asian American and White families as competing for limited seats at prestigious institutions. What happens, though, when it’s time for those admitted students to go to school? New research aims to untangle patterns in these families’ college spending.

Through the analysis of 70 interviews with debtholders […]| Articles – Contexts

Let’s have fun! Autumn in North America is magical for many reasons. First, there’s the spectacle of color that surrounds so many of us (sorry California friends). Second, the cool weather invites the cozies, like sweaters, fires, and our favorite hot drinks—cocoa, coffee, and yes, even a pumpkin spice latte. And then there’s all the […]| Articles – Contexts
