HAPPY JULY!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’ve been paying close attention, you’ll have noticed three new members of the Sociological Images team. \u00a0We’re so pleased to announce that Philip N. Cohen, Caroline Heldman, and Jay Livingston have joined on as regular Contributors. \u00a0Each has a bustling public intellectual presence of their own and we’re thrilled that they’re blogging for SocImages!<\/p>\n

Philip N. Cohen, PhD<\/strong> is a Sociology professor at University of North Carolina,\u00a0Chapel Hill<\/a>. \u00a0He writes about family, work, and inequality\u00a0professionally, and at his fabulous blog, Family Inequality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jay Livingston, PhD<\/strong> is the chair of the Sociology Department at Montclair State University<\/a>. \u00a0His expertise is\u00a0in social psychology, culture, and crime. \u00a0He blogs at the equally\u00a0fabulous Montclair SocioBlog<\/a>, where he also does great work teaching\u00a0science literacy with his posts about statistics.<\/p>\n

Caroline Heldman, PhD<\/strong> teaches Politics at Occidental College<\/a>. \u00a0She is an\u00a0expert on the presidency and gender in politics, featured in the new documentary Miss Representation<\/a>. \u00a0She’s also an intrepid\u00a0investigative journalist<\/a> and represents the liberal point of view on\u00a0Fox programs weekly<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please welcome them with your always incisive commentary!<\/p>\n

AROUND THE INTERNET:<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Gwen posted\u00a0my talk on hook up culture<\/a> here at SocImages, it was picked up by BoingBoing<\/a> (to my excitement!). \u00a0After seeing the talk, Ben Privot at The Consensual Project<\/a> asked me to do a quick interview on deconstructing cultural narratives about sexuality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Caroline, our new Contributor, published two essays exposing the culturally and politically corrupt response to a rape in Silsbee Texas. \u00a0You can read abridged versions at the Ms. blog (here<\/a> and here<\/a>) or her unedited version at her blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gwen was all over the internet this month: on About for a story about\u00a0Arnold Schwartzenegger’s Love Child Scandal<\/a>, on the Huffington Post about\u00a0a racially-charged Dove Ad<\/a>, and on a local Las Vegas NPR station\u00a0offering some perspective on home buying and the recession<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, I was also tickled to see my post about the “obscene” Dossier cover featuring a feminine male model<\/a> used in a Newsy video report<\/a> about the controversy.<\/p>\n

WHERE ELSE WE ARE…<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is your monthly reminder that SocImages is on\u00a0Twitter<\/a> and\u00a0Facebook<\/a>. \u00a0You can learn more about your editors at my website<\/a> and Gwen’s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oh and, um, I totally joined twitter this week<\/a>! \u00a0And you can follow Philip Cohen<\/a> and Caroline Heldman<\/a> too. \u00a0:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
