Biography and Interests:
Sarah Sobieraj is a specialist in media, politics, and culture who joined the
department in 2005. She is currently completing a book manuscript that explores
voluntary associations' struggle for political voice, highlighting the political
and cultural costs of "media-centered activism" around presidential campaigns. Her
newest work (with political scientist Jeff Berry) examines political speech intended
to provoke and emotional response (e.g., fear, anger, moral indignation), focusing
on blogs, talk radio, and cable news programming. She is an award-winning teacher,
and her most recent publications can be found in Sociological Theory, Sociological
Inquiry, The Sociological Quarterly, and Social Science Quarterly. In her free time
she enjoys baking cookies, talking politics, and nurturing her love hate relationship
with popular culture - purely a scholarly interest, of course.
