65. The White Pages: Diversity and the Mediation of Race in Public Business Media.

Author

Abstract

In this article we examine the empirical impact of diversity on non-white participation in corporations by analyzing images of racial minorities that appear in business magazines. Our findings indicate that odds of non-white inclusion increase when explicit reference to diversity is made. We also find that non-whites are more likely to be depicted as having ancillary roles in corporations; rarely are they presented in leadership positions. Media images are not only produced and disseminated, they are translated into social practices. Therefore we also consider how the images that are included in the magazines we reviewed may inform organizational practices that shape the racial makeup of corporate workplaces. We argue that how and when non-whites are included in these media reinforces an emergent ideology, which concedes that diversity enables corporations to give discursive attention to race without prompting deep investigations into continuing patterns of racial inequality in the workplace.

67. Negotiating Family Conflict, Social Identity and Solidarity in Digital Play Space.

Author

Talmadge Wright, J. and Embrick, David G.

Abstract

Family communication between on-line game players, (chats, real time speech, and on-line behavior) points to very complex ways conflicts over resources, performance, and social identity are negotiated, both within and outside on-line video games. Documenting game play conflict and cooperation points both to the subtle role of software on human social interactions as well as the meanings game players generate from those actions. As symbolic interaction has understood, such interactions are not confined to off-line dramaturgical settings, but are becoming well established on-line as well, blurring any meaningful distinction between the virtual and the real. This paper draws from four years of participant-observation and interviews with players of a well-know MMORPG (World of Warcraft). We examine how both player conflict and cooperation between family members, both off-line and on-line, is negotiated by players. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

68. 'Can't We All Just Get Along?': Assessing Actors' Racial Views through Interviews and Everyday Conversations.

Author

Abstract

Most research on racial matters in contemporary America focuses either on large surveys on attitudes, or on mostly public behavior by whites. Thus, many of these studies may not capture what many whites really believe or how many whites really feel about racial matters. Using in-depth interviews and participant observation techniques, I analyze race relations in one of the largest baked goods companies located in the southwest. Looking at race relations at the micro-level allows us to uncover racial behaviors, attitudes, and practices among white and minority groups not normally seen in the public sphere. I find that white males behave "differently" and may even express more racialized attitudes depending on the context of the social interaction. That is, my findings indicate that whites tend to engage in race-talk when in the company of other whites. Yet, when minorities are present, the conversations usually shift to gender or class oriented topics. This research adds to issues in applied sociology in that if we are able to understand how race relations work in contemporary society, we will be better able to develop effective measures to combat racial discrimination and practices.

71. The Growing Need for Insurgent Black Studies.

Author

Williams, Johnny Eric and Embrick, David G.

Abstract

Historian Carter G. Woodson was also a founding framer of Black Studies who created the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History in 1915 to promote the study of Black life and history in order to "bring about harmony between the "races" by interpreting one to the other." Black studies or Africana Studies emerged from the larger social and political movement of global Black liberation in the late 1960s as a nascent academic field. Their protest led to the creation of the first Black Studies department in the United States. [Extracted from the article]
