Critical Sociology Abstract: As anyone who has met Michael Burawoy can tell you, he remains very, very British – from his unflagging loyalty to Manchester United, to his very British ‘flat cap’, to his consistent repetition of ‘bloody brilliant’ as the highest compliment he can offer to his dozens of grateful advisees. But despite his …

Zavisca and Beth Mitchneck, “Housing and integration of internally displaced persons: The case of Ukraine in 2018” was published in Migration and integration: Tackling policy changes, opportunities and solutions, published by Frontiers Media.

Theory and Society Abstract: This paper presents a new approach to theorizing and empirically investigating a phenomenon variously described by sociologists as internalized oppression or symbolic violence. Located at the intersection of internal worlds and external reality, the intrapsychic and the interpersonal and social, this object of inquiry—here termed self-negation—is crucial to many forms of societal …
Social Science & Medicine Abstract: Current studies have indicated that the number of individuals living with pain has risen in recent years, with nearly half of all adults in some countries living with some form of pain. Such trends have prompted researchers to explore differences in pain across different sociodemographic groups, with a dominant focus …

However, we know little about whether teachers’ perceptions of parents vary by family composition. Using data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study, I show that teachers perceive single mothers with multipartner fertility and, to a lesser …

Yet surprisingly little research links measures of racial bias to data on criminal court decision-making. This article fills this gap by combining multiple aggregate measures of implicit and explicit racial bias with data …

Analyzing South Korean survey data and comparing it with existing U.S. and Korean network data, we find both similarities and differences between friendship and non-kin discussion networks in the two countries. We show …

Analyzing health disparities within this group is a complex task due to data limitations across most federal and state data collection systems. This study investigates disparities in the risk of giving …
Social Psychology Quarterly Abstract: Prior research finds that relative to women, men are less receptive to scientific evidence of gender bias against women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, whereas the researcher’s gender does not influence evaluations of gender research. Do these effects hold for research documenting workplace gender inequalities more generally? In a preregistered …
