Synopsis

Contemporary racism, sexism, and heterosexism increasingly rely on less overt forms of discrimination that preserve, protect, and mask the power of the dominant group. This creates all manner of issues for people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ folks who must navigate a culture that increasingly sees discrimination and inequality as less severe or less pervasive than it was in the past. Indeed, despite the multitude of legal, social, and political advances made by these groups, inequality continues to persist, but often in a more subtle, covert, and invisible manner. The Reproduction and Maintenance of Inequalities in Interpersonal Relationships discusses the subtle ways racism, sexism, homophobia, and heterosexism persist in an era where many believe such inequalities are in the past and provides a comprehensive understanding of what inequality looks like in the contemporary world. Furthermore, the book examines how this inequality is reproduced in our everyday relationships. Covering topics such as discrimination and workplace relationships, this reference work is ideal for sociologists, psychologists, human resource professionals, academicians, scholars, researchers, practitioners, instructors, and students.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Tyler Ross Flockhart received a PhD in Sociology from North Carolina State University in 2019 and currently is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Viterbo University. His research centers on how inequalities are reproduced in everyday life. He has explored this issue in familial relationships, extremist organizations, and popular media. Dr. Flockhart also has a line of research that focuses on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Here, he has looked at the utility of sociology as a perspective for enhancing student learning in other academic disciplines, as well as how symbols found in cemeteries (e.g., gravestones) can be a useful tool for teaching students about historical and cultural change in the U.S. Currently, Flockhart is working on research that explores how young adults working in healthcare settings use religion and spirituality to make sense of death and illness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
