LGBQ+ youth from conservative Christian families and/or communities face challenges developing positive understandings of their sexualities. Many view college as a more welcoming space that will allow them to conceptualize and enact their sexual identities in new and beneficial ways. Yet college campuses may support some aspects of LGBQ+ identity development at the expense of others. Through interviews with 26 LGBQ+ students from conservative Christian backgrounds, we show that the transition to college served as an opportunity to access supportive spaces that encouraged exploration and self-development and affirmed LGBQ+ identities, increasing self-esteem and well-being. However, many students still struggled to access sexual and romantic relationships, limiting opportunities to learn about themselves and their emerging desires. Our findings demonstrate how the interplay between communities of origin and destination conditions shape identity development in emerging adulthood and make clear the importance of sexual and romantic exploration to this process.

Studies of returning citizens have found they benefit from living in well-resourced neighborhoods, yet they face obstacles to securing housing in these communities. Insofar as gentrification involves investing more public and private resources into communities, this raises the question of how this investment affects returning citizens whose former homes are in gentrifying neighborhoods—a common circumstance in Washington, DC. Based on 37 in-depth interviews with returning citizens from Washington DC, this study explores the impact of gentrification. We find that the increased housing prices associated with gentrification make it difficult for returning citizens to move to gentrified areas; that gentrification exacerbates the barriers they face to accessing employment opportunities; and that gentrifiers often make returning citizens feel unwelcome in the communities where they were raised. In sum, we find that returning citizens, like other long-term residents of gentrifying neighborhoods, face structural barriers both to living in gentrified neighborhoods and to accessing available resources.

Systemic racism explains historical and contemporary anti-black exclusion, violence, and exploitation in the United States. Yet, Black people routinely resist systemic racism’s effects. This study asks whether racial capital (i.e., Blacks’ belief in the significance of systemic racism) associates positively with political activities. It also attempts to replicate previous findings showing educational attainment directly predicts political activities. Finally, it asks whether educational attainment moderates the association between racial capital and political activities. Analyses of nationally representative data from the Outlook on Life Surveys, 2012, indicate racial capital associates positively with political activities. Further, educational attainment directly predicts political activities and seemingly attenuates racial capital’s positive association with political activities. However, racial capital associates positively with increased political activities among Black people with an associate degree or more.
系统性种族主义解释了美国历史上和当代对黑人的排斥、暴力和剥削。然而，黑人却经常抵制系统性种族主义的影响。本研究探讨了种族资本（即黑人对系统种族主义重要性的信念）是否与政治活动正相关。本研究还试图复制之前的研究结果，即教育程度直接预测政治活动。最后，研究还提出了教育程度是否会调节种族资本与政治活动之间的关联的问题。对《2012 年生活展望调查》（Outlook on Life Surveys, 2012）中具有全国代表性的数据进行的分析表明，种族资本与政治活动呈正相关。此外，教育程度直接预测政治活动，似乎削弱了种族资本与政治活动的正相关。然而，在拥有副学士学位或以上的黑人中，种族资本与政治活动的增加呈正相关。

Housing affordability has worsened considerably over recent decades, and despite some progress, veterans remain relatively overrepresented among the unhoused. Nevertheless, veterans have historically been less impacted by housing affordability problems, whether this stems from factors such as greater access to homeownership, differential labor market returns related to veteran status or differences in the composition of the veteran population compared to non-veterans. In this study, we use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) from 1976 to 2021 to document how housing unaffordability has become a growing problem among veterans who rent. We first demonstrate how the prevalence of housing cost burden among veteran renters has converged with that of the general population over the past four and a half decades. Second, we use a decomposition analysis to identify the factors most relevant to these trends observed over the span of our data, observing that changes in household composition and growing representation of veterans across disability status, race, and gender account for significant components of rising cost burden prevalence. We conclude by reviewing policy solutions tailored to groups who are overrepresented among cost burdened veterans. Overall, we find that “rent eats first” for everyone—veterans and their families included.
近几十年来，住房负担能力大大恶化，尽管取得了一些进展，但退伍军人在无房人口中所占比例仍然相对过高。然而，退伍军人历来受住房可负担性问题的影响较小，这是否源于以下因素，如更容易获得住房所有权、与退伍军人身份相关的劳动力市场回报率不同，或退伍军人人口构成与非退伍军人相比存在差异。在本研究中，我们利用 1976 年至 2021 年收入动态面板研究（Panel Study of Income Dynamics，PSID）的数据，记录了住房负担不起如何在租房的退伍军人中成为一个日益严重的问题。我们首先展示了在过去 45 年中，退伍军人租房者的住房成本负担的普遍程度是如何与普通人群趋同的。其次，我们使用分解分析法来确定在我们的数据跨度中观察到的与这些趋势最相关的因素，观察到家庭构成的变化以及不同残疾状况、种族和性别的退伍军人代表人数的增加是成本负担普遍性上升的重要原因。最后，我们回顾了针对成本负担过重的退伍军人群体的政策解决方案。总之，我们发现，对所有人来说，包括退伍军人及其家庭在内，都是 "先吃房租"。

Many White Americans believe that racism, racial violence, and hate groups are relics of the past, and yet we have witnessed the resurgence of White extremist groups and overt racism in recent years. This resurgence requires an examination of White extremist ideologies, particularly as they center traditional family values in justifying their extremism. In this study, we utilize a content analysis of the websites of six White extremist organizations to examine ideologies surrounding the family at the intersection of race and gender. Furthermore, we question why these ideologies take shape as they do and the potential implications of espousing family values with a rise in White extremism. Our study addresses the gender gap in existing White extremist research and highlights the need for an intersectional approach in understanding how ideologies differ between a White extremist group specifically for women and those under the leadership of men.

Extant research has documented how coal industries can have devastating impacts on industrial communities. While much of the sociological research on climate change has focused on issues of environmental sustainability and resilience, comparatively less research has centered around the social and emotional consequences of climate change in the context of industrial areas. To attend to this gap in the literature, we investigate how coal communities grieve lost landscapes and how that grief informs responses to future environmental threats. To do this, we build on and extend recent work that has argued for the sociological relevance of the concept of solastalgia in analyzing how communities cope with the impacts of natural and technological disasters at the local level. The term solastalgia describes the distress communities experience as they lose landscapes they once cherished in the wake of events such as expanding extractive activities. Specifically, we analyzed a coal mining region in the Czech Republic to examine how communities experience solastalgia in regions that have been chronically exploited for industrial energy extraction over time. Our findings revealed how solastalgia within industrial and coal communities can translate across time and generations. We use the term intergenerational solastalgia to capture this community-level phenomenon.

Sexual minorities are a rapidly growing population, with recent estimates showing a two-fold increase in the percentage of sexual minorities over the past decade. Working with relatively few measures to identify sexual minorities, social scientists have amassed an impressive amount of evidence on inequality by sexuality. Despite this remarkable work, I argue that it is important to take a step back analytically and re-assess sexual minorities from a descriptive standpoint. Using population-level data from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, I provide unadjusted estimates of sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and family characteristics by sexual identity. Results reveal that sexual minorities are younger, are more racially diverse, and concentrate in different parts of the country than heterosexuals. Similarly, sexual minorities have remarkably different socioeconomic lives than heterosexuals, who enjoy higher annual household incomes, achieve higher educational attainment, and are more likely to be homeowners. Sexual minorities are also less likely to be married than heterosexuals. I conclude by highlighting that descriptive research can illuminate compositional differences between sexual minorities and heterosexuals; provide rationales for adjusting for certain characteristics that might confound relationships between sexual identity and numerous outcomes; and highlight potential explanatory mechanisms to make better sense of well-established findings regarding sexual minority disadvantage.

Author demographics are of key epistemic importance in science—shaping the approaches to and contents of research—especially in social scientific knowledge production, yet we know very little about who produces social scientific publications. We fielded an original demographic survey of nearly 20,000 sociology, economics, and communication authors in the Web of Science from 2016–2020. Our results include not only details about gender and race/ethnicity but also the first descriptive statistics on social science authors’ sexuality, disability, parental education, and employment characteristics. We find authorship in the social sciences looks very different from other measures of disciplinary membership like who holds PhDs or faculty positions. For example, half of the authors in each discipline’s journals say that they are not a member of the discipline in which they published. Moreover, social science authors are considerably less diverse than other measures of disciplinary membership. In sociology, women constitute a majority of PhDs, faculty, and American Sociological Association members; by contrast, men make up a majority of sociology’s authors. Additionally, we include a wide array of descriptive statistics across a range of demographic characteristics, which will be of interest to inequality scholars, science scholars, and social scientists engaged in diversifying their disciplines.
作者人口统计学在科学认识论上具有重要意义--它影响着研究方法和研究内容--尤其是在社会科学知识生产中，然而我们对社会科学出版物的生产者却知之甚少。我们在 2016-2020 年间对 Web of Science 中的近 20,000 名社会学、经济学和传播学作者进行了原创性的人口统计学调查。我们的结果不仅包括性别和种族/民族的详细信息，还首次对社会科学作者的性取向、残疾、父母教育和就业特征进行了描述性统计。我们发现，社会科学领域的作者身份与其他衡量学科成员的标准（如谁拥有博士学位或教职）有很大不同。例如，每个学科期刊中都有一半的作者表示自己不是所发表论文的学科成员。此外，与其他学科成员相比，社会科学作者的多样性要少得多。在社会学领域，女性占博士、教师和美国社会学协会会员的大多数；相比之下，男性占社会学作者的大多数。此外，我们还提供了一系列人口统计学特征的描述性统计数据，不平等问题学者、科学学者以及致力于学科多样化的社会科学家都会对这些数据感兴趣。

We examine how in men’s college basketball coaching, race-related managerial job insecurity trickles down to negatively affect the careers of the subordinates who work for them. Using panel data from a randomly selected group of assistant basketball coaches working under the most prestigious and endowed governing body of collegiate sports in the United States—the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I (DI)—we find that, in men’s college basketball coaching, subordinate White coaches are less likely to be involuntarily dismissed than their non-White, predominantly Black, counterparts because non-White subordinates disproportionately work for racially minoritized, predominantly Black, head coaches who themselves face greater job insecurity. We also find involuntary dismissal correlates with whether assistant coaches leave the ranks of NCAA DI men’s college basketball coaching and explains the significant interaction between race and a teams’ performance relative to their respective conferences. These findings illustrate how race-related managerial job insecurity trickles down to negatively affect the job opportunities of their subordinates and, because of homophily, perpetuates racial disadvantage.
我们研究了在男子大学篮球教练工作中，与种族有关的管理者工作不安全感是如何向下渗透并对为其工作的下属的职业生涯产生负面影响的。我们使用了一组随机抽取的篮球助理教练的面板数据，这些助理教练在美国最负盛名、资金最雄厚的大学体育管理机构--全美大学体育协会（NCAA）第一分部（DI）工作--我们发现，在男子大学篮球教练工作中，下属白人教练被非自愿解雇的可能性低于非白人（主要是黑人）教练，因为非白人下属过多地为少数种族（主要是黑人）的主教练工作，而这些主教练本身也面临着更大的工作不安全感。我们还发现，非自愿解雇与助理教练是否离开 NCAA DI 男子篮球大学教练队伍有关，并解释了种族与球队相对于各自联盟的表现之间的显著交互作用。这些发现说明了与种族相关的管理者工作不安全感是如何向下渗透，对其下属的工作机会产生负面影响的，并且由于同质性，使种族劣势永久化。

Services play a crucial role in responding to homelessness, facilitating stable housing, and improving health outcomes. Yet people in need do not always access services and little is known about such individuals and groups. Using mortality data from the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) that was cross-referenced with services records from Homelessness Management Information Systems (HMIS), this study identified and compared people affected by homelessness ( N = 1196) who died between 2014 and 2019 based on whether they had engaged with homelessness services ( n = 841) or who were unhoused without a record services engagement ( n = 355). Groups were compared by age, race, gender, region of the state, and leading causes of death. Approximately 30 percent of individuals found to be homeless were not engaged in homelessness services. There were statistically greater numbers of Native Americans among those who were unhoused without a record of homelessness services. There were also inequities across regions of the state. This supports the need for increased outreach in rural areas and removing barriers to service engagement. The leading causes of death were drug overdose, alcohol, and heart disease, thus reinforcing the need for harm reduction education and practices both within and outside of services.
