Defending 'snake oil': The preservation of contentious knowledge and practices

Catherine D. Tan

Summary: This study examines how a community of parents and practitioners maintain belief in controversial ideas, such as the link between autism spectrum disorder and vaccinations, despite objections from mainstream experts. The strategies identified include professional alignment and contrastive boundary work, which help protect internal legitimacy and construct a distinct group identity anchored in shared knowledge and practices. Through these strategies, the actors respond to perceived threats and uphold their disputed beliefs.

The double helix at school: Behavioral genetics, disability, and precision education

Maya Sabatello et al.

Summary: In the U.S., there is a growing interest in utilizing behavioral genetic data for precision education, tailored to students' genetic makeup. Public views on testing and using genetic data in schools can influence policies, though these perspectives are currently unknown. Most participants are interested in learning about children's genetic predispositions but would disapprove of testing without parental consent, indicating a complex understanding of genetic information among the public. Additionally, differences in perspectives were observed based on participants' race, ethnicity, and educational attainment.

Flexible Coding of In-depth Interviews: A Twenty-first-century Approach

Nicole M. Deterding et al.

Summary: The qualitative coding procedures of grounded theory from the 1960s are limited by current technologies and may not fit well with contemporary sociological interview studies. QDA software provides flexibility in storing and analyzing electronic documents, offering more convenience than traditional methods. Proper data organization and analysis steps are needed to better utilize current technology in in-depth interview data analysis.

Cloaking the Pregnancy: Scientific Uncertainty and Gendered Burden among Middle-class Mothers in Urban China

Jialin Li

Summary: This article explores motherhood and reproductive uncertainty in urban China through the lens of radiation-shielding maternity clothes, arguing that scientific uncertainty is socially reproduced by experts, markets, and policy makers. Despite middle-class mothers' lack of full trust in the cloak's scientific reliability, they still choose to wear it during pregnancy for psychological reassurance amid environmental concerns and modern life pressures. Ultimately, these mothers opt to cloak their pregnancies for responsible motherhood while simultaneously expressing doubts about the cloak to showcase their scientific knowledge.
