Abstract: AbstractReligion and sexuality are polysemic categories. While conservative religion often fights against progressive sexual politics in contemporary America, this “usual story” is fractured and destabilized by people navigating the relationship between religion and sexuality as complex social creatures, not pundits or caricatures. Drawing from interdisciplinary scholarship, I examine salient issues of sexual politics—including abortion and reproductive rights, LGBT rights, and pornography—to show how religious actors have been on both sides of these debates. Because of this polysemic complexity, scholars of religion must not only tend to the dynamic interaction between religion and other categories, we must also recognize and study the diversity within the categories themselves.

Abstract: AbstractThis study examines how members of a majority second-generation Brazilian church in South Florida perceive their English-speaking, “American” congregation compared to the Portuguese-speaking Brazilian congregation from which they originated. Data for this research are drawn from in-depth, open-ended interviews with 32 members from different ethnoracial backgrounds, participant observation, and content analysis of the congregations’ social media. Findings show that the discourse of church differences portrays the two congregations in racialized and classist ways. Combining boundary-making and identity work theories, I argue that the perceptions espoused by members of the American congregation come from a place of pressure to assimilate to U.S. White middle-class culture, consequently reinforcing and legitimizing stereotypes in an effort to distance themselves from Brazilian immigrants.

Abstract: AbstractOrganizational scholars expect organizations to conform to the norms and expectations of their institutional environments. In some cases, though, organizations may reject rules if they perceive a greater advantage to defiance than to conformity. This project analyzes a sample of sermons given by United Methodist Church (UMC) clergy surrounding the 2019 UMC General Conference. We focus on a subset of sermons in which clergy explicitly mention they will not follow denominational rules, meaning they will marry and ordain LGBTQ people, to investigate how clergy legitimize their rule breaking. We find that clergy draw on several sources of religious authority to justify their decisions, including meso-level structures in the UMC tradition, the autonomy of local congregations, and religious texts and leaders. This project provides empirical evidence of how organizations resist institutional pressure and construct their decision as legitimate, with implications for other organizations and for LGBTQ inclusion.

Abstract: AbstractUsing the “complex religion” framework, this article shows the importance of religion while recognizing how race, national origin, and geopolitics shape how Muslims navigate their romantic lives. Based on 50 in-depth interviews of South Asian Muslim immigrants in Canada on interfaith and interracial romance, I show that taken-for-granted labels “Muslim” and “South Asian” are ambiguous even for the participants as they navigate the search for compatible partners. Race and ethnicity are important components alongside religion and sect that together give meaning to negotiations about who is a “real” Muslim. And despite a sense of panethnic desi groupness, religion, sect, and nationality create fissures that challenge and limit notions of brown solidarity on the ground, even for children of immigrants. Finally, I identify how another important yet overlooked dimension of Muslimness—global geopolitics—shapes participants’ romantic pursuits. Overall, this article problematizes current approaches to studying Muslim immigrant experiences in the West.

Abstract: In many ways, the Association for the Sociology of Religion has enjoyed much success over the past year and is in excellent shape as we enter 2023. Our 83rd annual meeting, our first in-person meeting since 2019, was a great success. Highlights of this year’s meeting included Jim Spickard’s Presidential Address, “Sensitizing Blinders: Theorizing Theory for a Post-Colonial Era,” and François Gauthier’s Furfey Lecture, “Thinking Outside the West: Religious Change from Nation-State to Global Market.” We offered a wide range of sessions, including ASR/ASA Joint Mentoring Sessions. Further details about these and other aspects of the annual meeting are available on the ASR website at www.sociologyofreligion.com.

Abstract: AbstractRecently, sociologists of religion have argued that rather than treating geographical location as a mere backdrop against which religion happens, scholars ought to theorize how place characteristics influence, and are shaped by, religion. In particular, they focus on urbanicity, a key variable in the secularization debate. Drawing on interviews with 50 Catholic and non-Catholic residents of a small city just outside of Washington, D.C. along with participant observation data, I argue that one way to examine how urbanicity—and space and place more generally—matters for religion is to identify its affordances, or features of an environment that allow for certain lines of action. Specifically, I show how urban amenities can afford the creation of religious amenities that support religious practice. I also demonstrate how the concepts of affordances and amenities can be used to theorize place characteristics, and their relationship with religion, more systematically.
