Welcome back, sociology-friends. As we mourn the loss of Anthony Bourdain this week, we reflect on his legacy as an honorary sociologist of sorts. We also highlight new research on sexual behavior and identities, and the persistence of racial segregation in the United States.
Discoveries:
“Same Sexual Behavior, Different Perceived Identities,” by Amber Joy Powell. New research in the American Sociological Review finds that men’s and women’s sexual identities are perceived differently, even when they engage in similar sexual behavior.
Clippings:
“Segregation Remains Despite Growing Diversity,” by Caity Curry. The Washington Post talks with Michael Bader, Kyle Crowder, and Maria Krysan about the persistence of racial segregation in the United States.
