Popular attention to the multi‐million‐dollar enterprise of collegiate sports often centers on the extent to which student athletes are academically engaged. In this article, we draw on a national sample of approximately 5,000 college‐goers, employ key comparisons (i.e., high‐visibility student athletes, nonrevenue student athletes, and nonathletes), and consider background disadvantages and collegiate division levels relative to achievement (i.e., grade point average) and bachelor's degree completion. Analyses show that once background attributes and division levels are accounted for, there is little difference in achievement and attainment between high‐visibility student athletes and their nonathlete peers. There is, however, a dual advantage in 4‐year degree completion for those playing other collegiate sports—an advantage tied to their more privileged family and educational backgrounds and their participation in intercollegiate athletics itself. Our results in these regards are robust to several restrictive and analytically rigorous modeling strategies. We conclude by highlighting the implications for higher education research and its attention to inequality, educational representation, institutional processes, and student success.

Research indicates that political progressives have lower levels of mental well‐being than political conservatives. However, while attention has been paid to why conservatives have higher levels of well‐being relatively little attention has been used to examine why progressives may have comparatively low levels of well‐being. Recent events connected to a “Great Awokening” suggest that identity politics may correlate to a decrease in well‐being particularly among young progressives and offer an explanation tied to internal elements within political progressiveness. Regression analysis with data from the Baylor Religion Survey indicates that identity political variables, but not a desire for higher government spending, are consistently negatively related to lower well‐being and mediate the ability of progressive political ideology to predict lower levels of well‐being. By paying attention to political progressives, rather than political conservatives, a nuanced approach to understanding the relationship between political ideology and well‐being begins to emerge. It is plausible that political progressives are not equally prone to lower levels of well‐being as those committed to a class‐based type of progressive activism seem to be better off than those tied to issues of identity politics.

In this book proposal, Charles L. Bosk synthesizes 50 years of ethnographic research to consider a key question: Why have decades of patient safety initiatives to reduce preventable deaths and adverse safety events failed to make traction on either one? With his incomparable wit and dry humor, Bosk takes us through the changes to the medical system that accompany his own evolution from a doctoral student to accomplished professional. Bosk's last work prods us to think deeply about the nature of medical error, our attempts to fix it, and what it means to improve medical care.
在这本书的提案中，Charles L. Bosk综合了50年的人种学研究，考虑了一个关键问题:为什么几十年来减少可预防死亡和不良安全事件的患者安全倡议未能在任何一个方面取得进展?博斯克以他无与伦比的机智和冷幽默，带领我们经历了他自己从博士生到有成就的专业人士的演变过程中医疗系统的变化。博斯克的最后一部作品促使我们深入思考医疗差错的本质，我们修复它的尝试，以及它对改善医疗保健意味着什么。

This special issue of “The Forum” publishes Charles L. Bosk's final work—a book proposal written for a trade audience titled—The Price of Perfection: The Cost of Error. Five noted scholars Carol Heimer, Carla Keirns, Mark Neuman, Julia Szymczak, and Stefan Timmermans offer commentary. Their essays touch on common themes: Bosk's humanity, his wry sense of humor, and keen ability to highlight the absurdity of the social organization of contemporary medicine alongside the sacred obligation that accompanies caring for the sick. Together, the book proposal and these five essays focus our attention on the impact Bosk's scholarship had in medicine, sociology, and the patient safety movement.

Through Forgive and Remember, Charles Bosk made the world of surgical complications and closed‐door morbidity and morbidity conferences visible to a wide audience, helping to remake medical errors from a private into a public issue. In so doing, his work helped to motivate a generation to advocate for higher‐quality, safer health care. But Bosk's introduction to The Price of Perfection: The Cost of Error also highlights how the managerial tools that advocates applied to these problems—“checklists, safety huddles, briefings and debriefings”—invariably missed deeper lessons that Bosk took from his work. Here, a former student and collaborator of Bosk's reflects on Bosk's legacy in relation to the patient safety movement he helped create and the lasting impact of his work on the culture of medical practice.

For decades, eliminating preventable error has been presented as an audacious, responsible, even noble goal for healthcare organizations. Bosk proposed to show the folly of this aspiration. This essay moves Bosk's work forward by placing ideas about reducing error in the context of other attempts to routinize work, on the one hand, and casting doubt of the viability of such programs, on the other. Other scholars have reshaped our understanding of human behavior by revising key assumptions to make them more psychologically and sociologically realistic. Using Simon's revision of global rationality and Kahneman's revision of expected utility theory as examples, this essay takes a first stab at suggesting which assumptions of the preventable error paradigm need revising. Because we do not fully understand how we gather and process information about each other, this essay argues that we should preserve opportunities for more holistic information gathering, both by ethnographers and medical staff. Importantly, those include occasions when medical workers (not algorithms) encounter, observe, and listen to patients as full human beings (not their digital twins).

Sociologist Charles Bosk studied medical error for more than five decades. His core insight was that medicine is a human enterprise, marked by all of the hope, passion, frailty, and pathos of human nature. This often led him away from the kinds of engineering solutions that have been proposed in patient safety and process engineering, and toward a radical understanding of culture, character, and human responsibility.

This essay responds to and reflects on the arguments made by Charles Bosk in the introduction to The Price of Perfection: The Cost of Error, written from the perspective of a former sociology doctoral student of his who now works in academic medicine. The author highlights two innovative and persuasive threads running through Bosk's work critiquing the patient safety social movement: (1) the consequence of the social constructedness of medical error and safety solutions, and (2) the importance of the personal, relational, and social dimensions of occupational rituals in clinical practice. The legacy of Bosk's work and impact beyond sociology is considered. The author demonstrates the enduring value of his insights and the impact they can have on current debates about how to transform clinical practice to reduce patient harm.
