Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties.

Identity Entanglement: Rethinking Marginality through the Intersectional, Liminal, and Antithetical

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
While identity research has given sustained attention to marginality, intersectionality, and the effects of power on identity, the formal interactional dynamics through which identities are constituted remain limited.

Uncertain Borders in the Post-Soviet Space

The Journal of power institutions in post-soviet societies, 2017

The news coming out of Ukraine seems to indicate the opposite. Though protected by a specific international agreement, the Ukrainian border was brutally redrawn with the annexation of Crimea by Russia in ...

John Gray: ‘Americanism’ and the Perversion of Post‐liberalism

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
