Parents of boys, k-12 teachers, sociologists who teach about gender, and Americans who don’t understand wtf is going on all need to read Jacob Tobia’s book Before They Were Men. It is a prescient and empathetic understanding of how we need to think about men in America. #introsoc #gender
Can’t get enough of this collective effervescence at Wrigley!

For the sake of both the discipline and society writ large, YES! I have worked hard for 2 decades to try and promote the discipline to high school and the general public. Our world needs soc now more than ever but the world doesn’t know it and sociology has a branding problem. #introsoc #teachsoc
Not a new trend but a growing one, increasing over the last several decades. #introsoc #adolescence

The Dem messaging HAS to be about the growing social class divide and changing the system that created it. Term limits, Limit campaign cash, limit lobbying, cuts for congressional salary/benefits, outlaw profiteering
Great post about racial backlash and resentment politics from perceived loss of status and power. #introsoc #race
The only caveat I have is that I do think that the loss of power and status is real -
Sociology history. Chicago school map of female juvenile delinquents. #introsoc
This!! This has been driving the political animus since the 2008 mortgage crisis. But the problem has been brewing since at least 1980! #introsoc #socialclass
A necessary addition to the lit on race for #introsoc and a reminder that race began in the USA with the legal distinction of white v. Nonwhite and that paradigm has dominated racism in the US for centuries and continues to be the paradigm of most significance.
Great piece by Heather Cox Richardson about the myth of the American cowboy and how masculinity and politics intersect. It is a great application of Jackson Katz, Richard Slotkin and Glenn Greenwald. #introsoc #masculinity

Interesting data for #introsoc and #gender The challenge is that males are facing diminishing outcomes in some areas but that’s often because masculinity norms are held so tightly and as a reaction to femininity that it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy and a snowballing cycle. How to break that?
