Big things are happening at TSP this week! Our latest volume, Assigned: Life With Gender (edited by Lisa Wade!), is now available along with cutting edge work over on TROT and a new Office Hours podcast to enjoy!
There’s Research on That!:
“Anita Hill, Clarence Thomas, and Sexual Harassment in Law Professions” by Caty Taborda and Sarah Catherine Billups. As HBO premiers “Confirmation,” research traces the legacy of sexual harassment in law firms and beyond.
“Cops’ Candid Cameras” by Ryan Larson. Heard about body cams lately? We’ve got the latest looks at whether they work.
Clippings:
“Diverse Schools Increase Workplace Diversity” by Amber Joy Powell. A new article in The Atlantic taps research on the lasting effects of racial diversity.
Discoveries:
“Smart Whites Less Racist in Principle, Not Necessarily Policy” by Amber Joy Powell. New work from Geoffrey T. Wodtke finds high verbal ability helps people talk the talk, but walking the walk is another story.
Office Hours:
“Jane Ward on Sex Between Straight White Men.” Allison Nobles talks with Professor Ward about her new book Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men.
From Our Partners:
Contexts:
“Drop-Outs vs. Hold-Outs” by Melissa Brown. New research from Nicole M. Deterding shows how structural barriers to higher education don’t kill the dream.
Council on Contemporary Families:
“Optimism about families beyond the way we never were” by Braxton Jones. Good news troubles the myth of the “traditional” family.
Scholars Strategy Network:
“Why Marijuana Legalization Is Inevitable—And Wise” by Raymond Hogler. Revenue, regulation, and reduced tax burdens? High five!
