Is Smart Growth Fair Growth: Do Urban Growth Boundaries Keep Out Racial Minorities?, Elizabeth P. Ruddiman

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

Objective: I investigate whether urban growth boundaries (UGBs) contribute to the exclusion of racial minorities and/or have an effect on levels of racial residential segregation. Methods: I study 43 pairs of places throughout the U.S. (each pair is comprised of a place with a UGB and a place without a UGB but is otherwise similar to its partner). I use Census data and a residential segregation index from 1990 and 2000 for blacks, Hispanics, and whites. I compare changes in the number of in-migrating blacks and Hispanics to these pairs of cities as well as the amount of …

Social Contact Theory: A Framework For Understanding Aids-Related Stigma, Brandon K. Attell

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

How do sociologists understand the social stigma that is attached to individuals living with HIV/AIDS? In this article, I offer four criticisms of the AIDS-related stigma scholarly literature. Furthermore, I propose a new framework for understanding AIDS-related stigma: Allport’s social contact theory. I discuss both the benefits and drawbacks of utilizing social contact theory to examine AIDS-related stigma, as well as how the theory could be employed in both quantitative and qualitative research.

Making A Case For Multi-Disciplinary Analysis, Matthew J. Richard, Michael G. Noll, Catherine Oglesby, Mark Patrick George, Tracy Woodard

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

In recent years, I have been drawn to inter-disciplinary approaches to scholarship. Specifically, I have been attracted to “mind studies”—an alluring amalgam of Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Developmental Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Social Psychology, and Anthropology—as offering more satisfying explanations of human action. In this paper I want to explore more deeply and expound further upon the benefits of multi-disciplinary research. To do so, I’ve invited colleagues of mine who work in other disciplines to view an ethnographic film about a poor Appalachian family and to identify specific issues in it that they would develop further in their classes. My working assumption is …

The Social Construction Of Frivolity, Rodger A. Bates, Emily B. Fortner

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

Leisure is a continuum of behavior from normative to deviant. Some forms of leisure reflect widely shared cultural norms while others reflect only marginal or sub-cultural acceptance. Within this continuum, we label some harmless forms of non-traditional behavior frivolity. The social construction of frivolity is tempered by time, place, social class and tradition. In addition, frivolity can be a two-edged sword, defining the abnormal as normal or the normal as abnormal.

Anthropologists document the functional nature of frivolity as a safety-valve to the pressures of conformity. Sociologists explore how patterns of interaction are altered or suspended in response to special …

A Content Analysis Of Salvia Divinorum Use On Youtube, Brent A. Paterline, Maria J. Albo

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

While peer groups remain the primary place where learning about drugs takes place, recently, researchers have recognized that channels of mass communication (e.g. movies, television, the Internet) may also play an important role in the learning process. For the last several decades, studies have demonstrated that there is a positive relationship between mass media use and drug use. The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a new recreational drug, Salvia divinorum, on YouTube. Salvia divinorum is a naturally occurring hallucinogenic drug from the mint family indigenous to Mexico and Central and South America. When smoked, the …

Extending The Branches Of The Giving Tree: A Community-University Partnership To Examine The Impact Of Summer School Support For Disadvantaged Youth, Beth Tarasawa, Faith Price

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

Drawing upon Ernest Boyer’s (1996) conception of the scholarship of engagement, this case study systematically integrates service and research and shows how quality empirical research can make meaningful differences in children’s lives. Proposed by The Giving Tree, a non-profit community organization located in metropolitan Green Bay, Wisconsin, this collaborative community-university project addresses issues of access to educational resources for economically disadvantaged youth. Using de-identified 2010 spring and fall test scores, this research assesses how summer gains and losses vary by student socio-economic status and summer school attendance. The application of social science expertise provides quality assessment measures for programmatic implementation …

Psychotropic Medication Use Among Children In The Child Welfare System, Wendy A. Walsh, Marybeth J. Mattingly

Carsey Publications

Prior research demonstrates that children in the child welfare system are given psychotropic medication at rates approximately three times higher than children and adolescents in the general population. Using data from the second National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, authors Wendy Walsh and Marybeth Mattingly report that among children age 4 and older with a report of maltreatment, rates of psychotropic medication use are significantly higher in rural (20 percent) than urban areas (13 percent). Children age 4 and older with a maltreatment report in rural areas were significantly more likely to take more than one medication than children …
