Jonathan Rauch<\/a> (Senior Fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution) wrote an article for The Atlantic<\/em><\/a> about how Donald Trump is installing \u201cpatrimonialism\u201d in his administration. Patrimonialism, a term from German sociologist Max Weber, describes a style of governing in which \u201crulers claimed to be the symbolic father of the people\u2014the state\u2019s personification and protector.\u201d The antithesis of bureaucratic proceduralism, patrimonialism is based on \u201cindividual loyalty and connections, and on rewarding friends and punishing enemies (real or perceived).\u201d Rauch writes that patrimonialist systems tend to suffer from both incompetence and corruption, and can severely damage state capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Karyn Vilbig<\/a> (PhD Student in Sociology at New York University) wrote an article for The Conversation<\/em><\/a> exploring how increasing support for social welfare programs connects to shifts in racial attitudes in the United States. While most government aid recipients are White, many people \u201cincorrectly presume that these programs support mostly Black people.\u201d Thus, negative views toward Black people can undermine support for social welfare programs. Vilbig found that \u201cimproved attitudes toward Black people between 2012 and 2020, more than any other measure, explained increased support for welfare programs during that same period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The American Sociological Association<\/a> and the American Federation of Teachers filed a lawsuit challenging a “Dear Colleague Letter”<\/a> warning schools that federal funding would be pulled if they consider race in \u201cadmissions, hirings, financial aid, scholarships, discipline policy and all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.\u201d ASA President Adia Harvey Wingfield<\/a> commented: \u201cThis memo doesn\u2019t just hinder sociologists from doing our jobs or merely violate our right to free speech\u2014 it inflicts a profound disservice upon students who gain from a more comprehensive understanding of the world and upon society as a whole that benefits from our discoveries about human behavior.\u201d This story was covered by The 74<\/em> <\/a>and Democracy Forward<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gallup\u2019s latest LGTBQ+ identification survey<\/a> shows that 9.3% of American adults identify as LGTBQ+ in 2024 (a figure that has nearly doubled since 2020). This change is largely driven by Gen Z; nearly a quarter of individuals ages 18-27 identify as LGBTQ+. Jessie Ford<\/a> (Assistant Professor of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia) commented to The<\/em> New York Times<\/em><\/a> that young people tend to consider sexuality as a spectrum and discuss wanting to avoid rigid identities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
