A designer's take on "work-life balance" this image shows a woman typing on a computer while sitting atop a ball balancing on a beam, which itself is balancing on a beam, and so on. A banner across the image reads: "In Brief: New from the Journals."
A screenshot of the first page of Contexts' magazine's Winter 2025 In Brief section shows the entire first in brief. Titled "Cash and Control" and authored by Colter J. Uscola, the short article summarizes a new study in the International Journal of Comparative Sociology. Its accompanying image shows a dollar bill being squeezed by a knot on a rope.
A screenshot of Contexts magazine's Winter 2024 issue, this short article is titled "Seeking Help, Seeking Dignity" and authored by Elena G. van Stee. The article summarizes sociology research, published in the journal Social Forces, on the ways those receiving the aid of social programs such as welfare work to keep their dignity. The accompanying image shows three people sitting in a waiting room, all from the neck down, each with their hands in their laps.
A screenshot of Contexts magazine shows a short article titled "Between a Rock and a Landlord" and authored by Parker Muzzerall. The article summarizes research, published in the journal City & Community, about negotiating neglect, or the stressful ways renters put up with deterioration in order to avoid evoking the ire of a landlord and risking eviction.
New! Written by our grad student board, In Briefs summarize recently published sociology research. This issue, we've got work on "flexible" jobs, coercive debt, partisan neighborhoods, gaming toxicity, negotiating housing neglect, patriarchy and "hidden" pay, and more!

But we hope that the essay can serve as a jumping off point for AP folks interested in qual methods to dive into the lengthy methods lit and fantastic substantive work that already exists in the field.
25.02.2025 14:47 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0To do so, we draw on the existing lit on qual and mixed methods approaches in both poli sci and sociology, and we highlight recent exemplars in the field from Katherine Cramer, @povertyscholar.bsky.social, and Sally Nuamah. (Also, shamelessly, my own work).
25.02.2025 14:47 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0In case anyone needs a break from reality (me, by 9 a.m. every day), my coauthor Anna Berg and I have a new, open access essay out in Perspectives! buff.ly/4gN6cFR. We describe the marginalization of qual methods in the study of American political behavior and make a case for their revival.

Took me a few weeks to get my thoughts together, but here is one way I've been trying to make sense of the election, based on fieldwork in postindustrial cities turning red for my first book and fieldwork in affluent suburbs turning blue for my second.

Finally holding my copy of How the Heartland Went Red!
My new book examines how place intersects with race, class, and religion in shaping the rightward turn in the industrial Heartland.
