Boy, do we have a\u00a0ton<\/em> of great new stuff to share with you this week. We’ve got a number of pieces on diversity, activism, and community in the sporting world, some excellent tips and ideas for teaching and writing in sociology, and a new podcast with Aldon Morris, just to name a few. See below for all that and more!<\/p>\n

The Editors’ Desk<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“First Person Ethnography<\/a>.” Editor Doug Hartmann<\/a> reflects on the different narrative devices used in ethnographic writing and argues that each has it’s own strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n

Office Hours<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“Aldon Morris on The Scholar Denied<\/a>,” with Enid Logan<\/a>. In this special hour-long episode, University of Minnesota sociologist\u00a0Enid Logan talks with Morris about his new book\u00a0and\u00a0the ways W.E.B. Dubois shaped the field of sociology.<\/p>\n

Teaching TSP<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

This semester we are rolling out a series of posts from grad instructor Jack Delehanty<\/a> on teaching writing in sociology classes. Check out his first post, “Teaching Writing with 5-Minute Workshops<\/a>,” and stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n

There’s Research on That!<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“Pipeline Protests a Pipedream?<\/a>,” by Erik Kojola<\/a>. The protests over the Dakota Access Pipeline are the most recent battle between Native American rights and industrial development, and research shows that these battles often result in\u00a0social dislocation, environmental problems, and a loss of livelihoods for native communities. For even more<\/em> research on that, check out Erik’s recently published article<\/a> on the ways that news media coverage of the Keystone XL pipeline worked to legitimate extraction and disrupt potential coalition between unions and environmentalists.<\/p>\n

“Punters and Protesters<\/a>,” by Neeraj Rajasekar<\/a>. Research shows that Colin Kaepernick’s choice to kneel during the national anthem is part of a larger resurgence of athlete activism surrounding racial inequality in America today.<\/p>\n

“Millennials Misunderstood<\/a>,” by Evan Stewart<\/a>. Millennials get a lot of flack these days, but social scientists argue that they are not as\u00a0shallow or selfish as popular memes make them out to be\u2014they are responding directly to unique social pressures.<\/p>\n

Discoveries<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“Extending the \u201cCrime Scene\u201d into the Community<\/a>,” by Ryan Larson<\/a>. New research in\u00a0Sociological Science<\/em> finds that not only are communities of color more likely to experience violence, they are also more likely to see an increase in stop and frisk activity after a violent crime is committed.<\/p>\n

Clippings<\/a>:<\/h3>\n

“The History of the Republican Party Divide<\/a>,” by Chelsea Carlson.\u00a0Josh Pacewicz<\/a>\u00a0explains to the\u00a0Washington Post<\/em> that Trump is not the origin of the conflicts we are seeing in the Republican Party today but that these divisions stem from a much longer history.<\/p>\n

“‘Muggles’ and Stigma: Using Harry Potter to Teach Sociology<\/a>,” by Caity Curry<\/a>.\u00a0Bertena Varney<\/a>\u00a0at Southern Kentucky Community and Technological College has been using Harry Potter<\/em> to teach students about inequality and disabilities.<\/p>\n
