▼ Sociological research on academic entrepreneurship is relatively new and existing literature is limited in scope, focusing only on formal ventures, particularly technology startups. This research project aims to address this gap by investigating student entrepreneurs and
university based startups. The dissertation project utilizes iterative long-term data collection, semi-structured interviews, online survey, and descriptive quantitative analysis. The study aims to be the first to provide an in depth sociological examination of entrepreneurship on the
university campus at
Cornell University, providing deep evidence that the
university is taking on a role that incorporates startup execution beyond encouraging and accommodating innovation: a result of the connection between
university and student entrepreneurs in an iterative, symbiotic relationship. This project captures an R1
university in its transition into an entrepreneurship generator. The project addresses both the institutional and student aspect of the narrative in rich detail.

▼ This dissertation studies the ongoing process of institutionalizing investor capitalism in Kenya's Nairobi Stock Exchange. The research is presented in three papers. The first paper studies active efforts by the state to recruit new investors through the use of mass advertising campaigns. The second paper studies investor entry into the market via a social diffusion process, where profits earned by geographically proximate and ethnically similar previous investors attract new investors. The third paper investigates how newly recruited, inexperienced investors utilize their shares after entering the market, focusing on rates of speculative trading. A unique, individuallevel dataset of investor behavior was constructed based on access to the Nairobi Stock Exchange's electronic clearing and settlement platform to which data from several national surveys was merged.

▼ This dissertation examines the invisible and visible colleges of contemporary Science Studies; a nascent, diffusing Social/Intellectual Movement largely contained within modern universities. Three main empirical studies underpin this examination. Firstly, network analysis of bibliography works in Social Studies of Science. Based on measures for article orthodoxy and closeness centrality, results show that orthodox contributions were more cited in nascent, foundational periods, while interstitial ideas were more valued in later time periods. Secondly, the various institutional niches Science Studies scholars have carved out are examined. Drawing on the newness and unique malleability of their field, professional advantages have been derived from enacting varying degrees of intellectual closure and quasi-disciplinary organizational forms. Thirdly, to examine the factors underpinning success, citation analysis is conducted of a seminal Science Studies book, Laboratory Life. Prominence and orthodoxy of a scholar positive influence the likelihood of citing the book, but these trends decline over time. This suggests that books and ideas can have very different meanings and life-cycles in different communities.

▼ This is an ethnographic account of a growing quick-service restaurant group. In the case study presented here, one is able to witness the implementation of an integrated production strategy on the part of the organization, in an effort to achieve efficiency and mission-based goals that were established during their founding. The mission-based goal of connecting staff members through an integrated production model, through techniques similar to increased skill variety, task significance, task identity, autonomy, and feedback can qualify as a new form of efficient fast-food production. However, conflicting perceptions about natural hierarchy, the criteria for promotion, and hiring strategies can run counter to the productive efficiency benefits that come from the methods of work redesign that are showcased in this thesis.

▼ The economic boom during the Celtic Tiger era triggered an unprecedented wave of in-migration to Ireland transforming Ireland from an emigrant-sending to an immigrant-receiving state. Filipinos, especially nurses, were among the immigrant groups that responded to the economic opportunities in Ireland. The migration of Filipinos to Ireland, however, is a recent phenomenon. This presented an opportunity to study the factors shaping the beginnings of a migration system, the evolution of migration institutions, ethnic business, and associations in Ireland, and to examine the transnational lives of families of female professional nurses. I examine the reunification process of families, their transnational practices of communication, remittances, and visits, and role reconfigurations in their households division of labor. Using participant and non-participant observation, in-depth individual and couple interviews, and focus groups with nurses and their husbands, in-depth interviews with recruiters, owners of pioneer ethnic Filipino businesses, Filipino association leaders, and other key informants; and reviews of laws, policies, and articles, the study found that among the factors shaping this nascent migration system were: a) the exit policies of the Philippine state, b) the policies of the Irish state regarding (lack of) work entitlements for spouses of migrant workers, EU Accession state national preference, ethical nurse recruitment, English language requirements, citizenship, residency rights of parents of Irish-born children, and family reunification, and c) the role of the migration industry and networks, specifically the migrant bridgeheads and gatekeepers, reputable international recruitment agencies, and an "escort service," a human smuggling operation at the Philippines' gateway airport. The study showed how connections were formed between Irish-based recruiters and Philippine-based recruiters or liaisons, that pioneer ethnic Filipino business owners were often married to Irish nationals or had Irish backers, and that ethnic Filipino associations formed as a result of a spark triggered by a person, event, or organizational split. The study also analyzed the process of and the factors influencing family reunification, the various factors influencing the transnational practices of communication, cash and kind remittances, and visits of migrants, and the role reconfigurations in the household division of labor that occur as a result of migration of the nurse-wife.

▼ Conventional views on state-formation examined within nation political and resource constraints to assess changes that took place. In my dissertation, I explored how external stressors such as international treaties affected domestic legal reforms. By creating a dataset of 235 treaties involving European, Asian, North American, and South American states, I juxtaposed the restructuring process of three Asian countries - China, Japan, and Korea to global trends in trading and diplomacy. I used Chisquare tests of variance to deduce that geographic origins of the treaty partners affected the types of treaties signed and the level of symmetries for treaties. The year of when the treaties were signed also had an effect. Further, treaties tended towards mutual benefits around the early 20th century as cross-regional tensions declined. By the end of the 19th century, treaties specified to form categories such as arbitrage, consular, delimitation, and extradition treaties. China, Japan, and Korea's varied turns in the 20th century address how even if external partners approached a nation with asymmetric levels of power, the way in which a nation addressed these provocations mattered. In times of external threats, a nation, restructuring its political and social infrastructures prevented the nation from losing its domestic sovereignty.

▼ This dissertation examines how the competing tensions between human rights norms and national security threats shape nation-states' human rights practices. This research particularly focuses on the varying contexts of security threat under which governments may or may not comply with the norms of human rights. Drawing on the case of torture, one of the most contentious human rights issues in contemporary times, I apply mixed-methods approach by combining a quantitative cross-national analysis with in-depth case studies of states in times of security threat: South Korea before and after the Cold War and the United States in the post 9/11 era. In the international analysis, I analyze cross-national, time-series data of 159 sovereign states between 1981 and 2010 with a particular focus on three stages: times of peace, period of armed conflict, and post-conflict. The results indicate that torture is prevented by INGO membership and an independent judicial body in peacetime, but the factors contributing to the protection of human rights in peacetime are neutralized during armed conflicts. In the post-conflict period, law becomes a pivotal factor to roll back practices of wartime torture: both the independent judicial body and the state's ratification of international anti-torture treaties decrease the likelihood of using torture. In the case study of South Korea, I use a process-tracing method to suggest that neither the government's signing of anti-torture treaties nor the political transition to democracy directly result in the end of torture. Rather, I reveal how the practice of torture disappears only through the persistent efforts of newly democratized governments and legal and civil society actors to establish a rule of law. Finally, in the case study of the United States, I examine how the established rule of law can be expanded to protect non-citizens who are in extraterritorial areas. I pay particular focus on the professional activism of the Guantánamo habeas lawyers that eventually expanded the jurisdiction of the United States courts to trial these non-citizen suspects housed in the Guantánamo Bay detention camp. This dissertation has strong implications for furthering our understanding of the promises and challenges of human rights in contemporary times.

▼ High stakes tests have become the centerpiece of new educational reform movements within the United States. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2002 has mandated a renewed emphasis on testing. Prior to its enactment, New York State had changed the graduation requirements for schools throughout the state, raising the standards in 1996 for a high school diploma by requiring all students to take and pass a minimum number of Regents exams. This project studies the effect of these new laws and standards on teachers in New York City and how they cope with pressures that are placed on them by students, parents, administrators, and other teachers. One concept this study builds upon is test score pollution, which is used in the education literature; however, it is not fully developed in the sociology of education literature. Test score pollution focuses on teachers and administrators rather than students and is used to describe factors that affect the validity of test scores. Some test score pollution strategies include: "teaching to the test," dismissing low-achieving students on test day, and teachers altering response sheets or their interpretation of a response while scoring. It is alleged that these strategies are all used in order to improve the passing percentage of schools on regents exams. In New York high schools, teachers are the individuals in charge of grading their own students' high stakes exams. This conflict of interest leads to one common form of test score pollution called "scrubbing." Scrubbing exams involves changing the grade of an exam from failing to passing. In interviews with teachers, there have been several methods of scrubbing that have been uncovered. Teachers have mentioned that they have erased bubble sheets on regents exams, purposely reinterpreting rubrics while grading students' exams, and purposely lowered students' grades while grading the regents. A better definition of the term scrubbing along with gradations is elicited from teachers. Pressures from administrators, who currently receive incentive bonuses, to scrub are also discussed.

▼ The dissertation investigates whether having multiple organizational identities, as opposed to a pure organizational identity, leads to positive audience evaluations in the field of U.S. art museums. To this end, I constructed a longitudinal dataset of U.S. art museums for a 12year period from 1999 to 2010 using three different archival sources: the Official Museum Directory (OMD), the National Center for Charitable Statistics (NCCS), and two art periodicals. There are three core findings. First, market intermediaries tend to reject exhibits in multipleidentity art museums because the evaluative nature of their work drives them to focus on a narrow set of candidates. Second, direct consumers favor art museums possessing multiple identities as they are on a lookout for a broad set of candidates that can meet their desire for gratifying leisure activities. Third, while market mediators' recommendations increase consumer demand in general, consumers for multiple-identity museums are negatively influenced by mediators' recommendations as they are apt to view the critics' reviews as a signal of the organization's increased commitment to a particular identity, which may be understood as going against their preference for diverse identities.

▼ This dissertation uses the context of the unfolding boom in oil and gas production enabled by hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) technology to ask several interrelated questions: What motivates people to oppose or support industrial development? How do material interests interact with political identities to shape political mobilization? What consequences does this political contestation have for policymaking? Three stand-alone articles, each using unique data and methods, provide new evidence for answering these questions. The three studies place a common emphasis on the multiple meanings that fracking has for opponents and supporters of proposed development as well as the alternative structural conditions that give rise to the divergent beliefs and the social networks that facilitate mobilization. The first article, examines the passage of local zoning ordinances prohibiting fracking and identifies spatial and temporal processes that influenced the pattern of ordinance adoption. The second article, looks more closely at political mobilization for and against hydraulic fracturing by examining individual-level data collected from one town’s debate over a proposed ban on oil and gas development. The third article uses a large set of public comments to directly examine the meanings that the public attached to hydraulic fracturing and whether residents who live in close proximity to proposed development understood the industry in systematically different terms than individuals who participated in the debate despite facing little or no direct impact from fracking.

▼ This dissertation seeks to answer the question: Does pressuring teachers to raise their expectations increase student achievement? Drawing from the sociology of education, educational psychology, and the research on accountability systems, the author constructs a more comprehensive model of the association between teacher expectations, accountability interventions, and student achievement than has been offered in prior research. The author argues that prior research on accountability interventions focuses on the direct relationship between accountability testing and student achievement, but ignores how teachers mediate this association. To this end, prior research ignores the important role that teachers may play in communicating expectations shaped by accountability policies. Using data drawn from the Education Longitudinal Study matched to a unique state-level accountability dataset, this dissertation offers a systematic assessment of how public school teachers respond to accountability interventions with regard to their expectations for students. Findings show that teacher expectations are important predictors of student achievement, which is consistent with prior research. What prior scholars and policymakers have failed to appreciate, however, is that pressuring teachers to raise their expectations has unanticipated and counterproductive consequences on the very students the policies are intended to help. Rather than raising their expectations of students, teachers appear to use the information gathered from tests to lower their expectations or even to justify their already low expectations of students, especially for low-performing students. In spite of their lower expectations, the association between teacher expectations and student achievement is stronger in these states because teachers adjust their expectations of students. Further analysis shows that a student's race is an important determinant of teacher expectations. Teachers hold black and Hispanic students to lower standards than their white and Asian peers, and these low expectations contribute to the achievement gaps between white, black, and Hispanic students.

▼ This dissertation explains why society becomes statisticalized—a form of rationalization that influences society through the production, consumption, and dissemination of statistical numbers. In this general social process, people increasingly depend on statistics to make decisions, justify practices, and update knowledge. As a result, social statistics are able to change human behavior, reconfigure social relations, shape political discourse, and constitute cultural norms. Ultimately, statistical rationality not only reproduces but also reinforces a variety of defining characteristics of modern society such as efficiency, standardization, formalization, calculability, predictability, and the replacement of humans with technologies. In Chapter 1, I ask: Why do modern states routinely keep official statistics on their societies? This chapter presents arguments about how gathering official statistics as a technology of state power facilitate modern states’ engagements in democratic state building, capitalist state building, colonial, and post-colonial state building, and war making in world society. These arguments are illustrated by historical case studies and tested by cross-national longitudinal analyses of the worldwide establishment of National Statistical Systems (NSSes) in 157 countries from 1826 to 2010. The analyses demonstrate that, although there are regional and temporal variations, democratization, capitalist development, aggregate war onsets, colonization, and inter-governmental linkages generally prompt modern states to establish NSSes. To get their hands on societies, modern states need to collect official statistics to keep societies under their watchful eyes. In Chapter 2, I ask: How does the statistics profession become globally institutionalized? This chapter analyzes the worldwide founding of national statistics associations from 1833 to 2011, arguing that the statistics profession emerged in the nineteenth-century West and spread to other parts of the world in the twentieth century. Based on an integrated institutionalist framework, I conduct event history analysis to demonstrate that the process of the global professionalization of statistics is determined by both national characteristics and the world polity. On one hand, democracy and national material capacity generally encourage the establishment of the statistics profession, and the effect of colonialism is in the opposite direction. On the other hand, intergovernmental organizations create a world polity in which the statistics profession is able to be diffused and constructed. Separate analyses for the pre-1945 and post-1945 eras indicate that, while there are regional and temporal variations, the world polity is a robust factor throughout the entire period of analysis. In Chapter 3, I ask: Why does the American state routinely collate statistical data on crime? Suprisingly, the relationship between state and criminal statistics is undertheorized. This chapter develops a theoretical framework that triangulates…

▼ This study explores the intersection of religion and the economy by focusing on the case of socially responsible investing (SRI) mutual funds that are also religiously affiliated. Mutual fund managers and investors understandably want competitive return performance from their investments. Yet religious fund actors are also oriented toward avoiding ownership in "sin stocks" and/or trying to change the behavior of corporations that are held in investment portfolios. Meeting both monetary and moral objectives can be a challenge. In this study, I address two broad research questions. Firstly, how do social actors balance their moral commitments against their monetary interest? Through 29 semi-formal phone interviews with fund producers (or the employees) of Catholic, Muslim and Protestant religious mutual funds, I analyze their embedding and differentiating cultural work as they make sense of their involvement in the economic and religious spheres (Chapter 1). In a separate analysis, I conduct and analyze 41 phone interviews with investors of one religious fund family, Mennonite Mutual Aid (MMA) Praxis mutual funds. In particular, I compare the moral meaning respondents articulate for their charitable giving and their SR investing (Chapter 4). Secondly, I query whether the moral orientation of investors impacts their financial market behavior? Using data from the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) from 1991 to 2007, I partition mutual funds into religious SRI, religious non-SRI and secular SRI and look for differences in levels of fund asset stability. This stability refers to fund flow volatility and the extent to which investors hold on to their fund shares with little regard to past return performance. Religious SRI assets are found to be the most stable fund category and I adjudicate whether the structural characteristics of religious groups or the moral orientation of religious investors best explains this empirical finding (Chapter 2). In a separate analysis, I analyze original phone survey data of MMA Praxis investors. This article's theoretical orientation focuses on moral and monetary "interest," defined as an individual level driving force. I find empirical evidence that moral interest induces fund commitment to SRI mutual funds, demonstrating that morality impacts behavior even in the financial market, a realm where monetary interest supposedly reigns. At the same time, I also find some evidence that monetary interest decreases fund commitment (Chapter 3).

▼ How important are social relationships for contribution to collective action? Existing work on contribution to collective action and participation in social movements has shifted its focus from individual characteristics to social structure as the key to predicting participation, but much of the work on social structure focuses on dyadic interactions as predictors of initial contribution. Building on recent research on patterns of group joining behavior, both online and in academic research settings, this study explores the extent to which attributes of dyadic and local network structure predict continued participation. The research presented here uses data from Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, and Wallop, a social networking and personal publishing service, to explore four key questions. First, how do dyadic relationships affect rates of continued participation? Second, what is the relationship between local network structure, such as triadic closure, and subsequent contribution? Third, if triadic closure has an effect, is it the result of structural differences in the network, or is triadic closure encoding dyadic tie strength? Finally, are social network attributes predictive of contribution in task-oriented groups, or are they more important for socially oriented groups? The results of this study highlight the importance of social relationships with other contributors as predictors of participation in voluntary associations. The importance of local network structure, which does not appear to be an artifact of tie strength, suggests a possible social affirmation effect where individuals are motivated to contribute by relationships embedded within a social group of other active participants. Furthermore, while social interaction is predictive of increased participation in both socially oriented and task-oriented systems, strong social relationships are negatively correlated with contribution in task-oriented settings. This suggests competing effects, where social relationships with other contributors serve as an important attraction even as they distract the
contributor from the task at hand.

▼ Oil regimes have undergone a momentous transformation over the past 50 years. While the Arab OPEC nationalizations captured the world’s attention, the parallel introduction of Indonesia’s production sharing agreement (PSA) has produced a shift in ownership and control of oil in nearly half of the world. Contrary to popular narratives about the oil industry that privilege the coercive power of home countries and international oil companies, I argue that the transformation of oil regimes has been led by the developing world. Lacking significant power asymmetries and perceiving similarities of interests, the states of the South have learned from each other’s experiences. As prominent developing countries have joined the ranks of PSA-users, prestige-seeking emulation has supplemented learning in driving diffusion.
This argument is developed through a two-level theoretical model. At the international level, it assesses how the distribution of power and peer groups affect the relative influence of coercion, competition, learning, and emulation. At the domestic level, it incorporates elite orientation to determine a state’s receptiveness to diffusion by different means and sources. Applying this model to the diffusion of oil regimes, I argue that the success of the PSA, as an innovation of the South, is driven primarily by learning and emulation. I test this argument using a multi-method research design that combines quantitative analysis of an original dataset of petroleum regimes with qualitative evidence from U.S. government archives and interviews with senior industry experts.
The diffusion of the PSA is not just substantively but theoretically significant. The PSA has not only been widely adopted in the developing world, but is an innovation of the South, making it a true case of South-South diffusion. Given the Northern bias of the diffusion literature, the finding that this form of diffusion can be highly successful in an area of strategic significance to the rest of the world is indicative of the need to expand research on South-South diffusion. The argument advancing the centrality of learning and emulation is also significant to the oil literature, which has traditionally placed coercion at the center of policy-making.

▼ I focus empirically on credit rating decisions by local offices within a prominent 19th Century credit rating agency, as the organization, as a whole, responded to external threats. Findings from this study show that the heightened accountability of reported performance feedback is an important factor shaping the nature of lower-level organizational response to evident failures in decision-making processes. Public failure, which engenders threat to the organization, heightens the need to justify decision-making processes at the local level. I provide evidence to suggest that, at times when this need was greatest, credit -rating agents in local offices responded avoiding changes to previous ratings decisions, and when changes were made, these choices reflected greater conformity (greater reliance on decision cr iteria and standards consistent with emerging commercial norms and conventions). Also, local offices made changes to the way they produced and distributed source material, changes that made these processes appear more conventional and information more acc essible. Together, these legitimacy-driven responses led to poorer quality decisions and less functional information. The very different nature of credit reporting during this period points to systematic differences in organizational response to failure under different historical conditions. Moreover, it raises questions about the larger structure of decision -making in mediated markets, where critics and gatekeepers, like many other economic actors, are sensitive to public scrutiny and labor to shape their reputations.
