Since last we met… Our new book arrived! Check out Getting Culture (just $15!), then read on for the rest of this week’s fresh sociology.
The Editors’ Desk:
“Back to School Research,” by Doug Hartmann and Chris Uggen. Some of the fresh sociology research on education and learning as featured on TSP, its partner sites, and its Community Page blogs.
Discoveries:
“Policy Changes that Help Reduce Murder Rates,” by Ryan Larson. Patricia L. McCall and Jonathan R. Brauer‘s new research shows that welfare might not stop homicide, but increased social support certainly wouldn’t hurt.
Clippings:
“More than 9 to 5,” by Caty Taborda. Randolph Cantrell on trends in juggling multiple jobs.
“Are Behavioral Issues Black and White?” by Caty Taborda. David Ramey on finding that race affects how schoolkids are punished.
“Cougars: Literal Mountain Lions,” by Sarah Catherine Billups. Milaine Alarie and Jason Carmichael on the myth of the wealthy older woman making prey out of 20-somethings.
Scholars Strategy Network:
“U.S. Latinos Care About Many Issues Beyond Immigration,” by Stella M. Rouse. When it comes to voter priorities, for Latinos, immigration only makes the top three.
Council on Contemporary Families:
“Overwork May Explain 10% of Men’s Wage Advantage Over Women,” by Youngjoo Cha. Some of the wage gap owes to men’s taking on extra hours.
The Community Pages:
- Sociological Images on churches and arson, trophy hunting, and the cartography of cursing.
- Families As They Really Are on how it’s inequality, not family structure, that replicates poverty.
- Cyborgology on #BlackLivesMatter as a society-level hack.
