While the success of these walkouts varied by state, the Oklahoma teacher walkout did not achieve all its goals, as state lawmakers were not willing to establish a consistent means of funding for education. Despite this defeat, participants reported that they found their participation meaningful. Why? This article utilizes 20 in-depth interviews to show that movement participants sometimes view collective identity and social ties as important movement outcomes. Previous studies focused on movement wins and losses have highlighted that identity and social ties can be framed as key movement outcomes. However, literature has not considered how, despite notable losses, movement participants still acknowledge that they are happy to have participated in the movement as long as they gain a personal or biographical outcome. Furthermore, literature has yet to address how these outcomes manifest in teacher movements. By including considerations for biographical and personal outcomes for movements that fail to achieve notable legislative changes, future research will be able to highlight the importance of participant-identified satisfaction. Additionally, these outcomes may be particularly important to consider in the context of teacher walkouts because fringe benefits can contribute to enhanced feelings of solidarity that may lay the groundwork for future movements.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43471660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No one is opposed to accountability in principle. The issue, rather, is who determines what constitutes academic quality and the key dimensions of student success. A substantial literature now exists highlighting the problems that accrue when neoliberal thinking gains ascendancy in higher education. What is not stressed enough in these discussions are the implications of the neoliberal audit mentality on pedagogy itself – on how we teach. I will discuss the negative impact on teaching of three accountability systems that are widely institutionalized on college campuses – the student evaluation of teaching at the end of the semester, the assessment of student learning in the major, and program review of the major or academic program. Further, I will outline ways that we as sociologists might act as individual faculty members, as members of departments, or as members of larger professional organizations to resist or mitigate those pressures. As sociologists, we should be well positioned to see beyond the individual course or career and to argue for the collective with a reality sui generis.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44816717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amidst program evaluations yielding mixed evidence for the model’s effectiveness in reducing violence, we still know relatively little about the individuals engaging in the high-risk work of interruption. This paper draws on a multiyear ethnography of interrupters to better understand the factors that motivate individuals to adopt and, in some cases, maintain a commitment to community-based violence prevention. Based on ethnographic data which involved street-level shadowing and 40 in-depth interviews with violence interrupters, we develop an original theoretical typology of commitment to violence prevention based on three categories: 1) Loyalists, 2) Straddlers, and 3) Exiters. We then utilize our in-depth interviews to account for the varying impacts of violence prevention work on the lives of the individual interrupters. Drawing from the scholarship on desistance and social activism in criminology and sociology, we argue that the organizational dynamics surrounding violence prevention work precluded the pathway to sustained personal transformation for the majority of interrupters in our sample. Yet for some interrupters, strong intra-organizational ties with leadership, coupled with personal agency over the implementation of violence interruption tactics, facilitated a transformed activist identity and a durable commitment to individual, and community, rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41385547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Binary logit and ordered logit models, with data from the 2018 General Social Survey, test the predictions of three occupational stress theories: job demands-control-support, effort-reward balance, and distributive justice. The results indicate that native-born, non-Hispanic white workers and native-born, Latino workers who are unable to develop their occupational skills on the job have greater odds of favoring reduced immigration. Job insecurity, lack of promotion opportunities, and poor intercolleague respect also negatively affect native-born, non-Hispanic white workers’ immigration opinions, while having to expend greater physical effort and having less time to complete the work negatively affect native-born, Latino workers’ immigration opinions. At the same time, native-born, non-Hispanic white workers who participate in stress management training have significantly greater odds of supporting increased immigration levels and significantly lower odds of desiring lower immigration levels. As immigration to the United States remains strong, understanding the social processes of native-born employee perceptions and the solutions to problematic intergroup relations may benefit individuals, businesses, and the economy.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49468859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data used for both statistical analysis (using chi-square tests of independence and Multiple Correspondence Analysis) and qualitative content analysis were collected in France through a corpus of 799 rugby-related advertisements mainly dating from 1987 to 2015. The authors demonstrate that, alongside the hegemonic masculinity produced by the socialization of rugby players until the 1980s (the “Beast”), the marketization of elite rugby that began in the 1990s has led to the emergence of an alternative figure of masculinity that values aesthetics over physical strength (the “Beefcake”). The authors theorize this hybridization as a way for rugby players, who follow the lead of advertisers and communications agencies, to distance themselves from the increasingly stigmatized figure of masculinity embodied by their sport in order to entice new audiences. Simultaneously, while allowing them to seize the financial manna of advertising, this rebranding reveals the plasticity of the hegemonic masculinity conveyed by rugby, which is able to regenerate itself by evolving with the times. Based on this case, the authors then discuss the dialectic relationship between the hegemonic model and hybrid masculinities in both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective.","PeriodicalId":39368,"journal":{"name":"Sociological Focus","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45363961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
