▼ This dissertation focuses on how spatial and organizational dynamics affect the inequality among intermediary organizations. I explain why in the brewing industry the number of intermediaries (i.e. wholesalers) declined, while their suppliers (i.e. brewers) proliferated in the past 30 years. By focusing on factors of organizational structure and competitive pressure, I examine their survival chances and the factors that contribute to the expansion and diversity of their portfolio. Results explicate conditions under which organizations act in seemingly counterintuitive ways, outline new concepts to explain their behavior, and highlight the institutional consequences on how the shifting social logic underlying market transactions feeds inequality among intermediary organizations.

▼ Through an ethnographic approach this research examines the off-grid housing movement of Earthships. Earthships are buildings designed and built to provide modern necessities with little to no connection to material infrastructures and markets. Individuals and small groups of the off-grid movement are extracting themselves from the grid, which they broadly define as including physical components of the utility grids and associated economic relations, formal political activities and identities, commodity chains of food production, government agencies, corporations, popular consumer culture, and other features of modern society. By connecting with off-grid enthusiasts they are able to disconnect. By learning the knowledge and skills to live off-grid they are overcoming labor specialization. In order to realize their distance to prevalent socio-material assemblages off-gridders terraform alternatives through their building of the Earthship or other off-grid home. The Earthship heats/cools itself through passive solar and thermal processes, collects/reuses rainwater through rooftop catchment and grey/black water systems, treats waste onsite, generates, stores, and distributes electricity, provides year-round food production, and utilizes garbage as building materials. Those that live off-grid express a greater connection and attentiveness to nature, practice various amounts of voluntary simplicity lifestyles, embrace more responsibility for taking care of themselves, and enjoyment in greater autonomy and freedom.
I argue that the Earthship case study is an example of what I term a Politics of Circumvention, whereby undesirable situations are responded to not by political projects of reform or revolution, but by self-extrication and terraformation. Furthermore, I argue that this is a recurring process dating back to the earliest of physical infrastructures, such as horticulture, artificial irrigation, urbanization, and other durable structures. Archeological and historical research supports that it has been common for groups of discontents to leave various “grids” and build alternative subsistence practices. Modern circumvention episodes I review include back-to-the-land, homesteading, communes, ecovillages, the Amish, maroon societies, and the Zapatistas. Given the role of nonhumans in the grid and off-grid movements, I develop a theoretical approach termed Object-Friendly Sociology, which recognizes the agentic capacities of nonhumans. This allows for the examination of conjunctural features of the Earthship case study and larger theoretical claims.

▼ Women’s participation in sport at all levels has risen dramatically in the past four decades. This is particularly true for soccer, which has become the top participation sport for girls in the U.S. In the 1990’s the U.S. Women’s National Team began to attract significant media and public attention beginning with the 1996 Olympic Games and extending to the Women’s World Cups from 1999 on. Still, sport remains the site of persistent gender disparities in training resources, pay, leadership, and media airtime, among other measures. Nowhere is continuing inequality more apparent than at the level of professional team sport, where women’s leagues in basketball, softball, football, volleyball, and soccer have failed.
The larger question I address with this dissertation concerns the possibilities and challenges that the current environment presents for professional women’s sport and how this environment is understood and engaged with by those working for women’s sport. I conducted a 14-month ethnographic study with a women’s professional soccer team I call the “Momentum.” My study included participant observation as an unpaid staff member, in-depth interviews with 55 stakeholders, and the collection of media data.
The biggest finding to emerge from my research is the existence of “business” and “cause” institutional logics that spell out different models for the goals and practices of women’s soccer. Both logics were part of the complex institutional environment that women’s professional soccer felt itself to be in and presented the league with different routes toward cultural visibility and financial viability. The major contribution of my research is to demonstrate the salience of gender to how these logics were understood and worked out in practice at the Momentum from 2011-2012. I document a shift from logic balance to the dominance of the business approach that is strongly tied to both a gender divide in logic adoption and the gendered hierarchy of staff.

▼ This study investigates the process of inter-firm knowledge flows and the role of geography in this process. It develops and addresses three questions in the context of the United States (U.S.) biopharmaceutical industry. First, what is the extent of localization of knowledge flows? This question is investigated through an experimental design in which the geographic location of citations (citing patents) is compared with that of originating (cited) patents that they cite, while controlling for the concentration of industrial activity and the progress of technology in the industry. Answering the second question necessitates a more specific estimation approach: What is the role of inventors’ mobility across firms and in space in the geography of knowledge flows? In this model I go one step further than estimating the role of geography and examine how labor (inventor) mobility (as one of three mechanisms of knowledge flows in space) influences knowledge flows. The questions investigated contribute to efforts to ascertain the spatial dimension of such mechanisms. First, the research provides evidence that knowledge flows in biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are quite significantly localized. Second, the application of social network analysis to patent citations reveals that labor mobility and co-inventorship are responsible for a large portion of these localized knowledge flows. This finding suggests that the main reason we observe knowledge spillovers being confined to regional or state borders is that the mobility of scientists and engineers and the invention networks they build are largely bounded in space. It also calls into question the notion that technical and commercially valuable knowledge randomly disseminates through local encounters or informal social gatherings in high-technology industrial agglomerations, indicating instead that such an explanation is only partially true. Third, the results of the regression models suggest that patent citations (from diverse industries) are indicative not only of technological/scientific quality but also of the economic value of patented inventions. The same empirical results, however, do not support the argument that interregional collaboration results in commercially more valuable inventions though there is some evidence that patents prepared through interregional collaboration have, on average, higher scientific and technological quality.

▼ My dissertation traces the historical trajectory of science and psychedelics. I explain (1) why clinical research with psychedelic drugs was relegated to the status of forbidden knowledge, and (2) how contemporary scientists are working to restore the legitimacy of this scientific field. I draw on science studies literatures on credibility, boundary work, and nonknowledge as a starting point to answer these questions. My analysis is informed by semi-structured interviews, field observations, and historical and archival documents. The analysis that I present in this dissertation can be summarized as follows: The shifting boundaries of psychedelic science, from legitimate knowledge to forbidden knowledge and potentially back to legitimate knowledge again, have been shaped by struggles over the purity and pollution of science—struggles embedded in cultural, legal, and political systems of power. The main contribution of this dissertation is the concept of the impure scientist. While previous literature has considered how nonscientist “outsiders” threaten the purity of science, my research examines how scientist “insiders” contaminate these borders. I call this menacing figure the impure scientist—a historically and culturally contingent and institutionally embedded figure, a “performative image that can be inhabited,” who continually threatens the symbolic boundaries of science. My research demonstrates how the impure scientist is symbolically deployed in credibility contests over the production of legitimate knowledge. By introducing the concept of the impure scientist, this dissertation offers new insights about what knowledge gets produced, embedded in what systems of power, and with what consequences.

▼ In this dissertation I explore the process of institutionalizing diversity within a public Historically Black College/
University (HBCU). Drawing from qualitative interviews, field observations, and archived materials I focus on the introduction of diversity policies, practices and discourses within a space structured by racial meanings, a black institutional space. As a black institutional space, the school developed its own racial logic that informed organizational values and norms. I found that
university decision-makers used the organizational logic to craft a diversity agenda meant to reinforce their commitment to their traditional constituents. However, while not resulting in significant demographic changes, the university’s diversity project involved messages about race and citizenship that were at odds with the school’s traditional racial discourse. I concluded that institutionalizing diversity was an effort to gain legitimacy by demonstrating that the school was disseminating those ideas about racial difference that are normative in the field of higher education. This research contributes to the scholarship on race in organizations, demonstrating the ways in which organizations are ordered by race, an insight that has significant implications for our understanding of the reproduction of racial inequality in organizational life.

▼ Gynecological teaching associates (GTAs) are female-bodied individuals who teach medical students how to perform sensitive and competent gynecological examinations using the instructor's own body. GTA programs emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, and have since become ubiquitous to medical education (Beckmann, et al, 1988). During a teaching session, a GTA walks a group of two to four medical students through a complete pelvic exam, emphasizing correct technique and language, as well as other patient interaction skills. Despite a growing number of computer-based simulation models, which align with the increasing rationalization and science-oriented nature of medical education (Prentice, 2012), GTA programs remain a valued part of medical education.
My dissertation considers two questions: 1) what were the processes by which GTA programs came to be a part of medical education, and 2) why are GTA programs sustained in medical education? I focused on the historical development and current use of GTA programs at three major medical schools in
Chicago. I combined qualitative interview and archival data from three groups of stakeholders: GTAs, medical students, and medical faculty.
Using literatures on embodiment, biomedicine, and science studies, I argue that the GTA program is a type of simulation program that inculcates the medical habitus in medical students. I demonstrate first how crisis in the field of medicine created opportunities for reformers of medical education and feminists in the Women's Health Movement to collaborate. I show how the GTA session allows medical students to rehearse the ethical and emotional dispositions required of physicians. I then explore the development of techniques of the body for physical exam through the GTA session. I conclude by working toward a notion of affective practice, or the repetitive rehearsal of styles of experiencing, expressing, and managing ways of feeling until these become seemingly natural to the body.

▼ This dissertation is a qualitative study of two smartphone dating applications, Tinder and Grindr, known colloquially as “hookup apps.” In this dissertation, I take up questions of whether and how hookup apps are changing dating, sex and intimacy in the United States. Contrary to much popular and academic discourse, I argue that the technology of these apps is not radically changing sexual practices or social norms. The relationship between technology and social life is dialectical and mediated by users, who often engage with technology in unexpected ways. I use the case of hookup apps to address broader themes of technological and cultural change, by showing the value and necessity of contextualizing claims about the effects of new technologies on social life. I bring together insights from sexualities studies and science and technology studies in order to understand they ways in which technological mediation of sexual interaction and identity matters to social life. Data for this study come from forty-one interviews with app users, as well as screenshots of user profiles and online content related to the apps.

▼ Examining how a pattern of organizational behavior developed and diffused across the globe is a way to link institutionalization and globalization. The objective of this study is to explore the interaction between institutionalization and globalization by investigating how large global firms used their websites to present the topic of corporate social responsibility (CSR) after the web was opened to commercial use in 1996.
Qualitative and quantitative methods were combined to analyze CSR self-reporting among 263 large global firms on their historical websites between 1997 and 2009. The data reveal a clear pattern of CSR self-reporting on corporate websites. The pattern of development and diffusion indicated an on-going institutionalization process that transferred from the habitualization stage into the objectification stage. Different bodies, including international organizations, nations, industries, and pressure from public concern propelled institutional isomorphism among the firms. Compared to the local institutional environment, institutional pressures on the global level had a stronger effect on the establishment and diffusion of patterned behavior among the organizations. The release of global guidelines provided normative pressure. The increasing concern among large global corporations about the global market motivated the birth of global guidelines. Therefore, globalization and global level institutionalization mutually promoted each other over time.

▼ This inductive qualitative study examines the process of how nonprofit professionals collaborate with local elites to create and sustain immigrant services in suburban
Chicago. It shows how the race and ethnicity of local elites and nonprofit professionals influences the status of distinct agencies. The evidence presented is drawn from eighty semi-structured interviews with nonprofits professionals and local officials, over one thousand hours of observations in the two communities spent attending professional association meetings and spending time with community leaders. This comparative case study shows: (1) how Latina entrepreneurs have to work within the unofficial guidelines of the white power elite; (2) how the conflicts between Latino professionals’ understanding of Latino social needs provides space for their white colleagues to experience occupational mobility; and (3) how the challenges of low organizational density limits the extent to which suburban nonprofits can engage in statewide efforts towards immigrant specific programming. My findings provide models that can be tested to: a) measure ethnic homogeneity within professions; b) examine the relationship between race, community networks, and organizational legitimacy; c) and a model to examine the relationship between community, organizational density, and social policy change.

▼ As policymakers consider universal preschool proposals, this study uses sociological theory to understand implications of expanding universal preschool for the existing market. I examine how Illinois’ state-funded preschool program – Preschool for All – has reached eligible children located in different areas of the state; how it affects the supply of preschool and child care in sociodemographically different
Illinois ZIP codes; and what factors explain why
Chicago area center directors serving families of different sociodemographic backgrounds differ in their opinions about whether Preschool for All should remain a targeted program or expand to universal levels.
Descriptive, quantitative analyses indicate that, as a targeted program, Preschool for All sites are most often found in lower income areas, as expected. However, there are much fewer PFA slots per child in low income areas than in higher income areas. Further, disruptions to PFA funding are more likely to occur in low income areas. Results from propensity score weighted regression analyses test whether ZIPs with increases versus decreases in school-based PFA saw a significant change in other types of care between 2008 and 2013. Results from propensity score analyses find evidence of crowd out only of centers and licensed homes in low income ZIPs and among Early Head Start in majority non White ZIPs. Further, contrary to expectations, there is some evidence that an increase in PFA may be creating demand for other services, such as Early Head Start in low income and in English speaking ZIPs, and home based care in majority White areas. However, there are significant challenges in estimating effects given the quality of available data. I offer several data system recommendations for improving the ability and capacity of systems to produce data that would allow policymakers to evaluate effects of PFA on the system. Analysis of survey data in logistic regression models finds that, among a sample of
Chicago area center directors, the sociodemographic characteristics of the ZIP Code is the only factor found to be related to opinions about whether PFA should remain targeted or expand to universal levels; directors who serve in majority White, middle income, English speaking populations are approximately 20% less likely to support universal preschool than their counterparts serving in non-White and lower income areas. Interview data with a subsample of directors indicate that those who support a universal program assume they will be able to remain in the market under a universal system due to their unique value or competitive advantage to a school-based PFA. However, their perceived value differs by sociodemographics of the population served. Those serving in White, higher income, English speaking areas emphasize the value of providing choice and variety for parents. By contrast, their counterparts serving non White, lower income populations suggested their non-school services were valuable not only for education and parental employment support, but also…

▼ To date, little scholarship has directly examined health care as both a distinctive, complex institution and a motive force in the economies of cities. This dissertation focuses on a phenomenon at the intersection between urban development and the transformation of the health care system: concentrations of hospitals, academic medical centers, and other related land uses in close proximity. Variations of this phenomenon – which I define as the "urban biomedical district" – have become increasingly prominent features of the urban landscape, focal points for organizational adaptations to a changing regulatory environment, and strategic targets of planning and economic development policy.
Empirically, the research begins with the first formal establishment of development districts that combined multiple health care institutions in
Chicago and Houston in the 1940s. The comparison then extends toward the contemporary transformation of the biomedical district into a multi-faceted urban economic engine, and ecosystem for innovation, and a model that has been replicated to varying extends across a range of different urban contexts. This process is examined primarily through a third case study of New Orleans, where long-standing aspirations to create a thriving biomedical corridor on the edge of downtown shaped a sequence of landmark decisions over the future of the city's economy and safety-net health care system after Hurricane Katrina.

▼ This dissertation explores how cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening operates in clinical practice and asks what implications there are for meanings of disability. In 2007, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommended that all pregnant women, regardless of maternal age, be offered prenatal testing for fetal chromosomal anomaly screening (ACOG, 2007), meaning that, at least in theory, every pregnant woman will be offered a prenatal screening test. An estimated 67 -72% of all pregnancies in 2011 and 2012 were screened for Down syndrome, the most commonly screened-for chromosomal condition, through at least one of several screening methods (Palomaki, Knight, Ashwood, Best, & Haddow, 2013). Though clinical conversations about cfDNA screening and other prenatal screening and diagnostic tests are often short in length (Bernhardt, Doksum, Larson, & Holtzman, 1998; Marteau, Plenicar & Kidd, 1993), the effects of those conversations may be lasting (Rapp, 1999).
Prenatal screening/testing’s main ethical, social and legal implications typically center on how informed consent facilitates reproductive choice-making in the case of positive screening results. Most pregnant women, however, do not carry fetuses with chromosomal anomalies. While the regulatory, professional and ethical focus is on women who receive positive results, what cultural work does cfDNA screening do in the “test-negative” space? For these women, reproductive decision-making in the context of prenatal screening/testing carries unique familial stakes that implicate both potential disabled individuals and meanings of disability. Using qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews, participant-observation and document analysis, I argue that distinctively acting as a proxy for diagnostic certainty, cfDNA screening enables healthcare providers and patients to construct and enact strategies that try to manage chromosomal risk. Taken together, the primary effect of these strategies is that expectant parents distance disability.

▼ This work broadly considers how markets “between” products and consumers affect the way we value goods and services. As consumers are exposed in person and online to an
increasing variety of choices and opinions regarding those choices, the multiple registers of assessment embedded in goods and services become more evident. Through a
longitudinal, multimethod analysis of industry and media archives, I use the case of independent record stores to explore the relationship between a changing music industry, retailers working to survive, and consumers confronted with more choices that mean different things in a new market reality. In the three-paper dissertation that follows, I investigate how these specialist retailers have been able to act strategically despite drastic
technological change, what actions mean for a public notion of a record store identity, and how the store actors negotiate the sometimes conflicting realities they are faced with on a day to day basis. The music retail industry has changed significantly over the past twenty
years. But with major technological advancements has also come a contemporary thirst for authentic experiences. The relationship that independent record stores maintain with the vinyl record surge of the past ten years situates these stores as cultural authorities and locates a viable niche for survival in an otherwise depressed market.

▼ This project examines sources of variation among the wide array of individuals who describe themselves as ‘atheist.’ Broadly speaking, I hypothesize the continuing influence of factors such as childhood religiosity, time-period, and organizational affiliation explain a portion of the variation between atheists. A mixed-method analysis drew a sample of atheists raised in religion, utilizing recruitment flyers throughout Chicagoland and neighboring states. 201 online surveys and fifty semi-structured interviews polled respondents about their religious upbringings, experiences questioning and leaving religion, and current stances and definitions surrounding atheism. Analysis finds religious intensity in respondents’ upbringings exerts influence over the misgivings they experienced with their childhood religion, eventually culminating in exit from theism. Childhood religious intensity also exerts direct and indirect influence on present-day beliefs: specific mentions of residual, dogmatism, and one’s symbolic boundaries around atheism. Respondents’ decision to affiliate with an atheist group stemmed from zealotry and earlier social networks, though precise motivations differ widely between atheists, and may change over one’s lifetime. Finally, there is a cohort effect in how atheists wish to engage religion: early cohorts stress a battle centered around rights, while later cohorts focus on stewardship and human progress. Overall, these findings yield support for residual effects from one’s childhood religion, as well as influence from the broader social and political climate outside one’s household and previous community of worship. The study also lays the groundwork for future research, cataloguing a spectrum of variation in definitions of atheism and epistemological stances concerning the (non)existence of god.

People—whose identity can be verified—are freely sharing large amounts of information on a globally accessible stage, altering the basic nature of how individuals communicate. Increasingly people have ‘friends’ on Facebook and ‘followers’ on Twitter with which they communicate and develop their identities. Despite the growth of this medium of communication, our understanding of how individuals express identity—and grapple with the unique features of these platforms—remains limited.
Classic theories of how people perform their identities rely on the fact that people interact in person and in present time (Goffman 1959). These assumptions no longer hold when identity performance occurs on SNS: they need not happen in real time and the potential audience can number in the millions. The possibility that messages exchanged can cause harm is increased because people tend to connect online with those they also know “offline”, and therefore are likely to post intimate information about themselves (e.g., Walton and Rice 2013). Therefore, this study will focus on how people conceive of privacy and messaging context or audience. Previous studies suggest that the content of messages will be similar to those that users enact in an “offline” context. But if users are savvier about the context of messaging on SNS than previously assumed, we would expect differences in comfort level with messaging “online” vs. “offline.” How one thinks about interacting and creating identity when the potential audience numbers in the millions is complex. Assuming that it is only the intended audience who receives the message or identity performance, it is not even clear who this audience is. Thus, we also focus on how users of SNS imagine their audiences. The likely potential number of recipients for a given message will be higher than that estimated by the respondents, with the greatest differentiation from Twitter users as most “tweets” can be viewed by anyone. Regardless, it is expected that users will conceptualize their audience similarly between the platforms, despite the fact that severe harm (lost job, embarrassment, etc.) can occur when the wrong message is sent to the wrong audience. Investigating conceptions of audience, context, and privacy in combination provides novel opportunities to test how these concepts interact, which we see as a limitation of previous studies concentrating on the factors individually (e.g. Litt 2012).
The growing importance of SNS makes ongoing analyses critical in light of their impact on broader communication patterns. The ubiquity of SNS, partnered with the increasingly blurred distinction between "online" and "offline" identities, makes identity performance via SNS arguably one of the most important ways humans will interact. As a society increasingly interacting online, the larger…

▼ Over the last 15 years, boutique fitness studios have grown in count and economic contribution. Their pop culture relevance has also skyrocketed in tv shows, movies and politics. Organizations in the relatively new, and growing, boutique fitness field range from large national brands, to locally owned franchises, to mom & pop businesses, each vying for consumers’ discretionary income and leisure time. This study focuses on how single owned facilities navigate the nascent and constantly evolving boutique fitness field. I use a mixed methods approach to understand how individual characteristics and organizational ownership overlap, focusing on how three boutique fitness studio owners’ individual characteristics shape how their organizations navigate the logics of the boutique fitness field. I attend to individual characteristics but also address the role of contextual and historical significance of each community. Each of the three focal organizations navigated the tensions of the boutique fitness field: market, community and health, differently. While each logic was present in each organization, the centrality and interpretation of each logic differed in each business. One organization struggled navigating the tensions between market and community, while another was predominantly health focused. The third was focused on community, which involved evoking characteristics of the black church. I contend that the owners’ individual characteristics shaped how each organization navigated the tensions present in the boutique fitness field. Additionally, each organization’s varying response to ClassPass, an industry technological disruptor, exemplified the varying ways each studio navigated these tensions, and then influenced their future paths. This study provides examples of how organizations navigate more than two competing organizational logics, drawing attention to the overlap of individual and organizational factors in small businesses. This study shows that individual characteristics of the owners’ shape logic adoption and interpretation, with specific focus on race.

▼ The Chinese economy and labor market are under fundamental change, with its transitional economy and the globalization of labor market interacting each other and reshaping the institutional environment and structure of the Chinese academia. This research utilized a mixed method study to address the effect of China social relations and guanxi. It investigated the network configuration which assisted the domestic trained Chinese scholars and the overseas educated returnees in developing the optimal career trajectories. The finding of the research showed that the cohesive and strong network of domestic scholars showed higher odds of being promoted, while large and open networks are more conducive to overseas returnees in exploiting their international collaboration, but such effect diminished at the later and more advanced promotion for overseas returnees. To promote the sense of belonging, overseas returned Ph.D. are necessary to construct cohesive and strong relationship, which coincide with the meaning of guanxi network in order to better survive in the Chinese academia and society once they rooted back in China. The research also found out that with more developed market in China, guanxi is still productive in bridging hiring universities and individual scholars with trust flowing through the social relations among them. It is not only the structure of the labor market induces individuals to use social network and relations for job promotions, but the social relations themselves are also part of the fundamental structure and institution of the labor market where the market dynamics are embedded in.

▼ In my dissertation, I analyze the ways that leaders of African American social justice organizations use gendered collective action frames in their efforts to interpret and present solutions for social problems that affect African Americans. Previous research has featured pop culture examples and controversial cases-in-point to argue that African American political discourse reflects a male bias that erases the social, economic, and political interests of women of color. In a departure from this approach, my methodology features surveys and semi-structured interviews with 45 leaders of African American social justice organizations, which are theoretically grounded in the work of social scientists that advance empirical intersectional frameworks for studying the existence of male bias and the prioritization of advocacy issues. Findings indicate that black women's intersectional experiences are visible to and clearly articulated by organization leaders, but are used by them as evidence of their gender role non-conformity. Leaders cite this non-conformity as one of the primary causes underlying African American social problems
