Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

After an extended hiatus, the Marxist Sociology Blog is back! Today we are taking a deep dive into an arcane but extremely important facet of U.S. labor law, known as "right-to-work" (RTW) laws. Despite their name, these laws have nothing to do with guaranteeing employment, and everything to do with weakening unions. They've been in the news recently because Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer repealed that state's RTW law on March 24, 2023—the first time since 1965 that a RTW law was repealed, and only the fifth time ever since these laws began getting enacted in the 1940s. RTW has been a flashpoint of social and political conflict in the U.S. for decades. Anti-union employers and politicians have spent much time and energy getting right-to-work laws passed, while unions and labour supporters have fought them tooth and nail. But why is there so much fuss about such an arcane law? Why and how to right-to-work laws matter? What do right-to-work laws actually do? To grapple with these questions, we are joined on the podcast by two experts on RTW laws. Johnnie Lotesta is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Appalachian State University, and Tom VanHeuvelen is an Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota. Click here to read Lotesta's dissertation (soon to be a book) on the politics of RTW in the Rust Belt in the 2010s, entitled "Rightward in the Rustbelt: How Conservatives Remade the GOP, 1947-2012." Click here to read VanHeuvelen's paper in the American Journal of Sociology , "The Right to Work, Power Resources, and Economic Inequality," which analyses of the effects of RTW on income inequality, and explains why it's so hard to find consistent effects.

Our first Marxist Sociology Blog Podcast episode got a good response, so we decided to go back for a second round! In this episode, Michael Levien and Smriti Upadhyay discuss their research on land dispossession in India. They ask a simple, fundamental question: why do some people resist dispossession, while others acquiesce? Through a systematic analysis of more than 23,000 major capital projects across India between 2007 and 2015, Levien and Upadhyay identify key factors that determine whether a project is likely to generate resistance or not. Some of their results may surprise you! Michael Levien is Associate Profesor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. Smriti Upadhyay recently received her Ph.D. in sociology from Johns Hopkins University. The paper we discussed in this interview was published online in Politics & Society on May 21, 2021. It is entitled "Toward a Political Sociology of Dispossession: Explaining Opposition to Capital Projects in India." You can find it here: https://doi.org/10.1177/00323292211016587…

Welcome to the Marxist Sociology Blog Podcast! This is an experiment for the moment, as we figure out whether or not we can make this a recurring part of the blog. For our inaugural episode, we invited Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota, to discuss some of her recent research into race and the COVID-19 pandemic in the US. One of her papers compares white mortality during the pandemic to Black mortality at its best, while another assesses optimal strategies for equitable COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Let us know what you think, and if you'd like to hear more like this!…
