The spring semester has come to an end for most, which means it’s the perfect time to catch up on all the sociology you missed during finals mayhem. We’re here to help with that, and this week we’ve got a new special feature on who “counts” as Asian American, a new Office Hours podcast with Lisa Wade, and more.
TSP Special Feature:
“Drawing Boundaries Around Who Counts as Asian American,” by Jennifer Lee and Karthick Ramakrishnan. In this special feature, Lee and Ramakrishnan highlight the ways that Asian Americans are much more diverse than we realize, and how ignoring those differences works to exclude all but the most visible narratives.
Office Hours:
“Lisa Wade on American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus,” with Amber Joy Powell and Allison Nobles. In our latest episode, we chat with Lisa Wade about the complexities of navigating college “hookup culture.”
There’s Research on That!:
“The Meaning and Measurement of Secularization,” by Jacqui Frost. Trump’s recent executive order regarding religious freedoms got us thinking about how sociologists define and measure “secularization” and what Trump’s order means for how we understand the place of religion in the the public sphere.
From Our Partners:
Council on Contemporary Families:
“How Gender Mattered to Millennials in the 2016 Election and Beyond,” by Kei Kawashima-Ginsberg.
And a Few from the Community Pages:
- Girl w/Pen! experiments with race, gender, and public crosswalks.
- Families As They Really Are revisits the complexities of helicopter parenting.
- Sociological Images asks why the right is pitting homeless vets against Syrian refugees.
- Cyborgology relays bad shopping experiences and the politics of everyday consumption.
