• Intensive mothering on the homefront: An analysis of army mothers

  Sociological Spectrum

  This research includes interviews with eleven Army wives, eleven of whom are also mothers, to examine mothering within the military context. Findings reveal what I label “military motherwork,” a mothering style similar to civilian mothering described in the marriage and family literature. Similar to civilian mothers, they feel more responsible for maintaining the household and taking care of their needs, both physically and emotionally, compared to their husbands. They also often engage in what Sharon Hays (1996) describes as intensive mothering, in which parents use the majority of their resources and focus much of their time to improve their children’s lives. However, military motherwork is also unique in that mothers raise their children within the military institution and must adapt to deployment and all of the risks associated with combat. Wives also develop unique coping strategies, such as the development of support networks with other military wives and the embracement of child-focused lifestyles as sources of love and comfort. Intensive mothering and other themes within the civilian motherhood literature remain relevant to military mothers, as evidenced in interviews, but also modified to suit military lifestyles.

• A comparative analysis of conviction outcomes of American domestic terrorists

  International Journal of Comparative and Applied Criminal Justice

  This research uses quantitative analyses to determine whether or not conviction outcomes differ across three major American domestic terrorism groups: ecoterrorists, left-wing extremists, and right-wing extremists. Findings suggest that ecoterrorists receive lighter treatment within the criminal justice system while controlling for important variables, such as gender, age, and count severity. Findings highlight differences between “home-grown” terrorist groups, departing from a large segment of terrorism research focused on domestic versus international comparisons or terrorist versus civilian comparisons. Results elicit new research questions to understand why domestic terrorists receive differential treatment within the criminal justice system, despite controlling for key variables.

• Musical Ties That Bind: Nostalgia, Affect, and Heritage in Festival Narratives

  Lori Holyfield, Maggie Cobb, Kimberly Murray, Ashleigh McKinzie

  Affective heritage embracement, a collective narrative of nostalgia, is identified at two popular music festivals. “MusicFest” embraces a tradition of “Red Dirt” country music through performance (music festival), whereas the “Walnut Valley Festival” embraces a bluegrass/folk musical heritage through performance and participation (musicians' festival). The symbolic importance of musical interaction is explored to highlight the experienced emotionality that leads to the affective ties that bind these otherwise temporary communities. This collective narrative reveals the various functions of nostalgia wherein collective sentiment both reflects and creates the perceived authentic experiences of festival attendees.
