Research ethics review and the Sociological Research relationship
Sociology, 2008Co-Authors: Adam HedgecoeAbstract:For years, sociologists working in other countries or UK-based medical sociologists have complained about the effects of having to seek approval from a Research ethics committee (REC) or its equivalent before starting work. With the arrival of the ESRC's Research Ethics Framework, concern about ethics review has expanded to sociologists working on a wider range of topics. This article uses ethnographic data from a study of UK RECs to examine how these bodies assess applications from social scientists, particularly those proposing qualitative Research (which opponents claim is given an especially hard time by such committees). These data challenge the idea that RECs are somehow ideologically biased against qualitative Research and that they cannot give an adequate assessment of applications from sociologists and other social scientists. The article concludes by suggesting sociologists' time would be better spent studying the institutional nature of the university RECs stimulated by the ESRC.

High School Dropouts After They Exit School: Challenges and Directions for Sociological Research
Sociology Compass, 2015Co-Authors: Colin CampbellAbstract:Sociological Research on high school dropouts is largely concerned with who drops out of school and why. Research on the consequences of dropping out is less common. There are clear theoretical reasons to expect dropping out to have a direct and negative effect on life outcomes; however, empirically evaluating these theories is difficult because students who drop out are different from high school graduates in meaningful and complex ways. In this article, I first provide a brief review of Sociological Research on high school dropouts, emphasizing the demographics of dropouts and reasons for dropping out. I then discuss the possible role of human capital differences, signaling theory, and social closure in creating worse outcomes for high school dropouts and outline the empirical challenges to Researching the effects of dropping out. I conclude by discussing avenues for future Research and important unanswered questions about the consequences of dropping out.

Sociological Research on Feminism and the Women’s Movement: Ideology, Identity, and Practice
Sociology Compass, 2012Co-Authors: Catherine E. HarnoisAbstract:This article provides an overview of Sociological Research on three aspects of feminism: feminism as an ideology; feminism as an identity; and feminism as a practice. I summarize the main contributions of Sociological Research in each of these areas, and highlight the overarching contributions for understanding contemporary feminism. Three contributions are key. First, Sociological Research highlights the existence multiple varieties of feminism –“feminisms” as opposed to a singular “feminism.” Second, this Research reveals that feminist ideologies, identities, and movements are each dynamic – they have changed historically, and continue to change in response to shifting socio-political, economic, and technological landscapes. Third, Sociological Research demonstrates that feminism is alive and well, and in many senses thriving, in the contemporary United States. Though some aspects of feminism are more widespread than others, Sociological Research challenges the notion that feminism, on the whole, has declined. As an ideology, an identity, and a practice, feminism remains strong in the contemporary United States.
