HERE’S A TIP: IT’S ABOUT INEQUALITY

By Karen Sternheimer

Many news stories about inflation have focused on tipping—sometimes called
“tip-flation.” If you haven’t read any of these stories, you’ve probably paid
for something when a tip screen came up, recommending a certain percentage for
gratuity in addition to the amount due.

According to a recent Pew Research Center survey of nearly 12,000 Americans,
respondents perceive that the pressure to tip has increased in recent years.
Nearly half of respondents said that whether to tip depends on the situation,
and 40 percent said that they didn’t like when tip amounts are suggested. The
most common times when more than half said they left a tip included servers at
sit-down restaurants, a hairdresser, and food delivery. Respondents were less
likely to tip taxi or ride share drivers, or at fast casual restaurants or
coffee shops.

PROFESSOR PERIOD TO THE RESCUE!

By Lisa Smith, Douglas College, Department of Sociology and Menstrual Cycle
Research Group

“Does anyone have a pad? A tampon!? 50 cents?”

I was sitting in the stall of a women’s restroom during the intermission for a
concert, when I heard the familiar refrain. As a menstruator (because not all
people who have periods are women and not all women have periods), I could
relate to the urgency in my fellow menstruators’ voice.

ETHNOMETHODOLOGICAL CONVERSATION ANALYSIS

By Wayne Martin Mellinger

Everyday talk-in-interaction is the medium through which our identities are
enacted and our relationships are negotiated. It is often through situated
activities such as talk that the practical problems of our lives get resolved,
the tasks of our workplaces get completed, and the business of society gets
managed. Talk-in-interaction is a fundamental mechanism through which culture is
enacted, providing the very infrastructure of social institutions. Everyday
talk-in-interaction is indeed the fundamental site of human sociality.

Conversation Analysis (CA) is an approach to studying everyday social
interactions which focuses on how participants in a conversation collaboratively
build meaning and organize their interactions through verbal and non-verbal
behaviors. It closely analyses the moment-by-moment unfolding of social life
through close examination of ordinary social interactions. These fine-grained
studies, now done in a wide variety of social situations and institutional
settings, are revealing the basic structures of interaction as experienced in
concrete instances of social life.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STUDIES IN SOCIOLOGY, AND WHAT SOCIOLOGY OFFERS STUDENTS

By Colby King, Calvin Odhiambo, Associate Professor of Sociology, and Lizabeth
Zack, Professor of Sociology and Department Chair, University of South Carolina
Upstate

The recent decision by the Florida Board of Governors to exclude Introductory
sociology from the list of courses that fulfill the social science general
education requirements for Florida public college students has sparked
discussions highlighting the vital role of sociology in academic curriculum.
Stacy Torres wrote here about the life-changing role sociology course can play
in students’ lives.

GENDER, SEXUALITY, AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION

By Karen Sternheimer

Recently politicians have continued attempts to police gender and sexuality
through the passage of laws that seek to exclude and punish. It is important to
consider why the attention to other people’s gender and sexual practices are
part of public and political discourses, and why some people are the target of
social exclusion.

For context: while laws attempting to limit transgender rights have dominated
the last decade, criminalizing same-sex relationships is not by any means new,
although new laws have been passed around the world in the past few years. Human
Rights Watch maintains a list of criminal codes outlawing same-sex relations
around the world dating back to the nineteenth century. Many laws criminalizing
LGBTQ people were passed in the middle of the twentieth century. Why?

AI AND SOCIOLOGY

By Jonathan Wynn

My inbox received two very kind and curious emails from students this semester.
One was to our listserv, expressing remorse and solidarity for someone who had a
death in the family. The second was a note of gratitude for my teaching this
semester. The instincts behind were kind. Both students wanted to share
meaningful feelings with our community in the first case, and with me in the
second. They were interesting because they were both written entirely by AI.

FLORIDA, DON’T DEPRIVE PUBLIC COLLEGE STUDENTS OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP
THEIR SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATIONS

By Stacy Torres

Even though I’m a professor, sometimes I fantasize about going back to college.
Everyone should have the chance to experience that electric feeling of
discovery. General education requirements exposed me to worlds I scarcely
imagined as the first person in my family to go to college. I remember the
thrill of encountering new subjects such as philosophy, theology, Spanish
literature, art history, ancient Greek and Roman history. Like many high school
students, I’d never had the opportunity to take classes in the social sciences,
including anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology.

I could have never predicted an introductory sociology course would change my
life.
