Abstracting / Indexing
Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) publishes theoretical and empirical papers on the link between the individual and society. This includes the study of the relations of individuals to one another, as well as to groups, collectivities, and institutions. It also includes the study of intra-individual processes as they substantially influence, or are influenced by, social structure and process. SPQ is genuinely interdisciplinary and publishes works by both sociologists and psychologists.

1. Ethics: Submission of a manuscript to another professional journal while it is under review by SPQ is regarded by the ASA as unethical. Significant findings or contributions that have already appeared (or will appear) elsewhere must be clearly identified. All persons who publish in ASA journals are required to abide by ASA guidelines and ethics codes regarding plagiarism and other ethical issues. This requirement includes adhering to ASA's stated policy on data-sharing: "As a regular practice, sociologists share data and pertinent documentation as an integral part of a research plan. Sociologists generally make their data available after completion of a project or its major publications, except where proprietary agreements with employers, contractors, or clients preclude such accessibility or when it is impossible to share data and protect the confidentiality of the research participants (e.g., field notes or detailed information from ethnographic interviews)" (ASA Code of Ethics, 2018).
2. Submitting Your Manuscript:
a. SPQ uses an online submission process for all peer review. Authors can submit and upload their manuscript at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/spq. If an author experiences any difficulty in the online submission process, please contact the editorial office for advice at socpsyq@uga.edu. Further directions regarding the online submission procedure for Manuscript Central (Scholar One/SageTrack) are below.
b. The manuscript submission must contain a separate file in .doc, .docx, or .rtf format for the title page, acknowledgments and MS proper. The remainder of the manuscript should be in one file of the above listed formats containing: title, abstract, running text, references, acknowledgments, and all tables, figures, and appendices. We will also accept .pdf and LaTeX but, as these can cause difficulties with the submission system, it is advisable to email the managing editor prior to submission.
c. The manuscript file should be blind of all author-identifying information. Please do not include a header in this main document. If you need to reference your own work, please use the third-person narrative voice - i.e., in Smith's work (2004), NOT in my work (Smith 2004). Likewise, please avoid including personal details that could facilitate deductive disclosure. If these are useful to the work, we will consider adding them following acceptance. Finally, any references that are omitted for the sake of blinding should be explicitly identified in the cover letter.
d. A $25 manuscript processing fee is required for submission to any journal of the American Sociological Association. First submission of all papers must be accompanied by this fee. No processing fee is required for revised and resubmitted manuscripts, or for manuscripts submitted by student members of ASA. All authors will have an opportunity to submit this payment through Manuscript Central (Scholar One/SageTrack). To waive payment, please select the category of manuscript type as ASA Student Member Submission.
3. Manuscript Central (Scholar One/SageTrack Procedures):
a. If you have not used Manuscript Central for another ASA journal, you will need to create a user account to submit your manuscript to SageTrack. Once your user account has been created, you will be able to track your manuscript at all steps of the submission process. If you review for SPQ, you will also use Manuscript Central to complete the review process. You will not need to create another account. If you choose to submit another new or revised manuscript to SPQ, you will be able to maintain the same user account.
b. When you first submit, the system will ask you the type of article you are submitting. All authors should choose Original Substantive Article. If you are a student member of ASA, please select ASA Student Member Submission so that you will not be required to submit payment information.
c. Each manuscript submission must contain separate files for the title page and the main manuscript. You also have the opportunity to upload a cover letter with your submission, though it is not required.
d. As you complete the submission process, you have the opportunity to save and quit before completing the submission. You will be able to resume the file submission by logging in again with your user account. Once you have completed the submission, the editorial office will begin the review process for your article.
e. If the manuscript submitted is not sufficiently blinded, the editorial office will temporarily reject the manuscript and send it back to you for proper reformatting. Once the correctly blinded version is received, the review process will resume.
f. Once the review process has begun, an author can log into their user account at any time to see how the manuscript is proceeding in the process. Any questions regarding the use of Manuscript Central or the submission process can be answered by Tenshi Kawashima, Managing Editor of SPQ, socpsyq@uga.edu.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Manuscript pages should be easy for reviewer and editors to read and allow space for marginal notes. All pages must be typed or printed (12-point type is preferred), double-spaced (including notes and references) on either 8-1/2 by 11 inch or A4 white paper. Margins must be at least 1-1/4 inches on all four sides (i.e., line length must not exceed six inches). If you cannot print italic or bold type, indicate italic characters by underlining them.
SPQ publishes papers in both article and note formats. Initial submissions for articles should be 10,000 words or less, including all parts and excluding supplementary materials. We also invite notes, which are manuscripts in which the contribution can be communicated in no more than 5,000 words. Notes may provide new empirical tests of existing theory, replicate previous empirical findings, primarily make a theoretical contribution, or offer a methodological advance. Your manuscript may have up to eight separate sections, including: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) text, (4) notes, (5) references, (6) tables, (7) figures, illustrations, or photographs, and (8) appendices. Organizing the parts in that order is recommended. For both articles and notes, we encourage authors to make use of online-only appendices as needed to elaborate on methods, procedures, data, code, instruments, as well as to present any supplemental analyses and/or discussion. There is no word limit for the online-only component.
Sound or video files can be hosted on the publisher's website for a reasonable period of time.
SPQ encourages researchers to make their data, code, and other materials available for others to review and use. We are happy to assist authors in locating a suitable depository for these materials and will be pleased to add footnotes pointing to these deposits in the published article. Because we know that not all areas of social psychology are able to provide these materials, practically or ethically, this is not a requirement and willingness to publicly release data and other materials will have no impact on the likelihood of acceptance.
1. The title page should include the full title of the article, the author(s)'s name(s) (listed vertically if more than one), and institutional affiliation(s), a running head, and the approximate word count for the manuscript (including notes and references). Use an asterisk (*) to add a title footnote that gives the address of the author to whom communications about the article can be sent. In the same footnote, list acknowledgments, credits, and/or grant numbers.
2. Print the abstract (no more than 150 words) on a separate page headed by the title. Omit author(s)'s names on this page. Please include a few keywords to describe the article after the abstract.
3. Begin the text of your manuscript on a new page headed by the title. SPQ uses anonymous peer reviewers to evaluate manuscripts, so please make an effort to keep the text of your manuscript anonymous. For example, if you cite your own work, write "Smith (1992) concluded . . ," not "I concluded (Smith 1992) . . . "
a. Citations in the text give the last name of the author(s) and year of publication. Include page numbers whenever you quote directly from a work or refer to specific passages. Cite only those works needed to provide evidence for your assertions and to guide readers to important sources on your topic. In the following examples of text citations, ellipses (. . .) indicate manuscript text:
* If an author's name is in the text, follow it with the year in parentheses: . . . Duncan (1959). If an author's name is not in the text, enclose the last name and year in parentheses: . . . (Gouldner 1963).
* Pages cited follow the year of publication after a colon: . . . (Ramirez and Weiss 1979:239–40).
* Give both last names for joint authors: . . . (Martin and Bailey 1988).
* For works with three authors, list all three last names in the first citation in the text: . . . Carr, Smith, and Jones 1962). For all subsequent citations use "et al.": . . . (Carr et al. 1962).
* For works with four or more authors, use "et al." throughout.
* For institutional authorship, supply minimal identification from the complete citation: . . . (U.S. Bureau of the Census 1963:117).
* List a series of citations in alphabetical order or date order separated by semicolons: . . . (Burgess 1968; Marwell et al. 1971).
* Use "forthcoming" to cite sources scheduled for publication. For dissertations and unpublished papers, cite the date. If no date, use "n.d." in place of the date: . . . Smith (forthcoming) and Oropesa (n.d.).
* For machine-readable data files, cite authorship and date: . . . (Institute for Survey Research 1976).
b. Number notes in the text consecutively throughout your article using superscript Arabic numerals. If you refer to a note again later in the text, use a parenthetical note: . . . (see note 3).
c. Equations in the text should be typed or printed. Use consecutive Arabic numerals in parentheses at the right margin to identify important equations. Align all expressions and clearly mark compound subscripts and superscripts. Clarify all unusual characters or symbols with notes circled in the margin.
4. Notes (footnotes or endnotes) should be typed or printed, double-spaced in a separate "ENDNOTES" section. Begin each note with the superscript numeral to which it is keyed in the text (e.g., "1 After 1981, there were . . . "). Notes can (a) explain or amplify text, (b) cite materials of limited availability, or (c) append information presented in a table or figure. Avoid long notes.
5. References are presented in a separate section headed "REFERENCES." All references cited in the text must be listed in the reference section, and vice versa. Publication information for each must be complete and correct.
List the references in alphabetical order by authors' last names; include first names and middle initials for all authors when available. List two or more entries by the same author(s) in order of the year of publication. If the cited material is not yet published but has been accepted for publication, use "forthcoming" in place of the date and give the journal name or publishing house. For dissertations and unpublished papers, cite the date and place the paper was presented and/or where it is available. If no date is available, use "n.d." in place of the date.
If two or more cited works are by the same author(s) within the same year, list them in alphabetical order by title and distinguish them by adding the letters a, b, c, etc., to the year (or to "forthcoming"). For works with more than one author, only the name of the first author is inverted (e.g., "Jones, Arthur B., Colin D. Smith, and James Petersen"). List all authors; using "et al." in the reference list is not acceptable.
The first letter of each word in the title of an article should be capitalized and the title enclosed in quotations. Titles of books and journals should be italicized or underlined. Publisher's names should be stated in as brief a form as is fully intelligible. For example, John A. Wiley and Sons should be "Wiley."
A few examples follow. Refer to the ASA Style Guide (7th ed., 2022) for additional examples:

6. Number tables consecutively. Type or print each on a separate page. Insert a note in the text to indicate table placement (e.g.,"Table 2 About Here").
* Each table must include a descriptive title and headings for all columns and rows.
* General notes to a table should be listed directly under the table as "Note: . . ."; specific notes should be lettered consecutively within each table with superscript lowercase letters. Use asterisks *, **, and/or *** to indicate significance at the p < .05, p < .01, and p < .001 levels, respectively, and always specify one-tailed or two-tailed tests.
7. Number figures, illustrations, or photographs consecutively. Include a title or caption for each. Insert a note in the text to indicate placement (e.g., "Figure 1 About Here").
* If your manuscript is accepted for publication, all artwork must be submitted in camera-ready form: Figures and illustrations must be executed by computer or by a graphic artist in black ink on white paper with clear lines; lettering on figures and illustrations must be typeset or done in pen and ink; photographs must be black-and-white on glossy paper.
* IMPORTANT: All figures, illustrations, and photographs (including all type) must be legible when reduced or enlarged to fit one or two column widths, 2-9/16 and 5-5/16 inches wide, respectively. Authors are responsible for securing permission to reproduce all copyrighted figures, illustrations, and photographs before they are published by SPQ.
8. Appendices should be lettered, rather than numbered, to distinguish them from numbered tables and figures in the text. Each appendix should include a descriptive title (e.g., "Appendix A. Variables Names and Definitions"). Any online appendices will be hosted on SAGE's website and should be submitted as supplemental material.
NOTE: Additional details on preparing and submitting manuscripts to SPQ are published in the ASA Style Guide (7th ed., 2022) available from the American Sociological Association.

I visited this beautiful, peaceful trail today for the first time. I started out at 11:45 this Sat and enjoyed every minute. The trail is quite and with relatively few people. Highly recommend!!

Great walk. But the section north of Woodhaven station is a dead end. I had to go back and walk city streets for a long section. All in all great walk from Soundview ferry station in the Bronx to Bronxville train station. I will return fir the next section
one of the very best
November, 2020 by SPanny
I have been riding this trail for years. As of November, 2020, a wonderful new section has just been introduced, stretching from Millerton, NY to Under Mountain Road. This means that the trail now covers almost 24 miles one-way from Wassaic NY all the way to Orphan Farm Road near Copake. This is a classic, beautiful trail the runs through a valley, with so many nice sections: tunnels of trees looking out over farms, places to stop in Amenia and Millerton, a section that runs right to the entrance of Taconic State Park, several raised ridges with views of fields on both sides. The newest area, from Millerton to Under Mountain Road, is perhaps the nicest of all, as it runs through an area with views of the Taconic Berkshires and runs over multiple ponds via the old train bridges (now updated for bicycles). I've been on rail trails all over the northeast, this is one of the very best.
Disappointed with new trail resurfacing
November, 2020 by carrie.vezina
The Air Line State Park Trail is one of my favorite bike trails in Connecticut. Rode our bikes there last week and was very disappointed with the recently resurfaced section from the Cranberry Bog in East Hampton. The gravel that was used in the resurfacing is to soft and to deep. Has only been open for a week (10/28/2020) and it is already marred by craters from horses and foot traffic. The ride is bumpy like a wash board. At one point I swerved to miss a pile of horse droppings and got to close to the edge which then collapsed under my bike causing me to fall. What was once a favorite section of the trail for us, is now a major disappointment.

We parked by the pet store mentioned in a previous review and biked to just passed the covered bridge, maybe 6 miles out? Beginning of trail is rough but that ends quickly . Nice ride in the woods. Not much to see. It was a slight incline on the way out which made the return better. I wish there some benches along the way to take a break.
this is newly opened (was still closed when i checked in august at least) and paved and it is magical :) biked it today

great Bronx
October, 2020 by allegrande
Great trail. Southern section paving is beautiful. Trail is clean with surprisingly little litter or debris. Some sections in southern Westchester seem like they laid pavement directly on top of the old rail road ties, but newer sections are very smooth. Safe for family rides with minimal road crossings. Mostly flat or shallow grade (up to 100' per mile). Beautiful scenery through parks. Too bad that this route does not continue South through Van Cortlandt Park and connect into the bike networks of Manhattan. (About 2 miles away.) Some sections are very near the Saw Mill Parkway and Major Deegan. Parts of the Saw Mill / Bronx River still need cleanup. And access points in southern Westchester to the towns are not great. (Be prepared to street ride if you want refreshements.)

Today we started Friendship Circles at a local preschool. During our time together we will explore how to be the best friend we can be in addition to bringing sensory motor and fine motor work to the classroom.
Today we talked about how to introduce ourselves (high five, handshake, fist bump, elbow bump, etc...) to our friends. We also discussed what a friend means. I looked it up, and Google told me that a friend is someone you like. It is someone you treat with kindness and respect. So we made a wreath to remind us to be kind and respectful to our friends!

Wood hits hat-trick as Burnley take giant step towards Premier League safety
Burnley's New Zealand striker Chris Wood (C) shoots but fails to score during the English Premier League football match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley at the Molineux stadium in Wolverhampton, central England on April 25, 2021. (Photo by MOLLY DARLINGTON / POOL / AFP)
Chris Wood scored a first-half hat-trick as Burnley pummelled sorry Wolves 4-0 on Sunday to lift themselves nine points clear of the Premier League relegation zone.
Burnley were sharper and more committed but mid-table Wolves contributed to their downfall with some sloppy defensive work at an empty Molineux.
The away side took the lead in the 15th minute after Wolves defender Willy Boly misjudged a header and the ball fell to Wood.
The New Zealand forward turned Conor Coady one way then the other down the right before firing the ball into the far corner of the net from an acute angle.
Burnley doubled their lead just six minutes later. Dwight McNeil seized on a sloppy pass from Adama Traore, crossing for Wood to tap home from close range.
McNeil was again the provider as Wood completed his hat-trick shortly before half-time, heading home a corner.
Wood, who is now Burnley's outright top scorer in the Premier League, is the first player from New Zealand to score a Premier League hat-trick.
Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves started the second half more brightly but Burnley's Matej Vydra had the ball in the net in the opening minutes, only to have it ruled out for offside.
Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio got down low to keep out a Matthew Lowton drive with 25 minutes to go as Burnley continued to pose Wolves problems.
Wood went close to a fourth in the closing stages before turning provider for Ashley Westwood to thump home from the edge of the box.
The win lifts Sean Dyche's men to 14th in the table, nine points clear of 18th-placed Fulham with just five games remaining, meaning they are almost certain to secure a sixth successive season of top-flight football.


Wright was a fifth round draft pick of Montreal in 2006 out of Wilfrid Laurier. Wright played 22 games over four seasons (2006-09) with the Alouettes as a backup defensive back and special teams player. Wright played for the Alouettes in the 2008 Grey Cup loss to Calgary.

A Cautionary Tale on Privatizing Tax Collection
The Daily Take Team,
The Thom Hartmann Program
(Image: Tax problems via Shutterstock)John Adams once said that, "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men."
Since the founding of our nation, there's always been strong and clear distinctions between public space and private space, and between things that are done by the government and things that are done by businesses and the private sector.
These distinctions are at the very core of our democracy, and of capitalism in America.
Get our free emails
For example, capitalism requires an impartial court system that can enforce contracts. Obviously, this court system can't be run by corporations themselves, and is instead run by the government.
Unfortunately, over the past several decades, the lines between public and private, corporations and government have become blurred, as more and more things that have traditionally been part of our commons, and controlled by the government, are being sold off to the highest bidder in an endless wave of privatization.
One of those things is tax collection.
The power of tax collection should always be a power afforded to a government that's answerable to We The People.
It shouldn't be a power that's transferred to private corporations.
But as The Washington Post brilliantly points out, that's exactly what's happened right here in our nation's capital, in an experiment to privatize tax collection.
And not surprisingly, it's an experiment that's having disastrous effects.
Just ask Bennie Coleman, a 76 year-old veteran who, thanks to D.C.'s tax lien privatization program, had his $197,000 house foreclosed and taken away from him, all because of a $134 property tax bill that hadn't been paid.
Coleman's home was taken away from him as part of the D.C. government's program that uses private investors to help it recover unpaid taxes.
Until recently, the nation's capital placed liens on properties when homeowners failed to pay their tax bill, and then sold the liens off at public auctions to small investors, who would then charge the homeowners interest on their liens on top of the debt already owed, until it was paid back.
But now, D.C.'s tax lien program has been taken over by big-time corporations, which quickly turn minor tax bill debts, like Bennie Coleman's $134 debt, into thousands of dollars of debt, which individuals and families can't pay off, and which inevitably leads to foreclosure and windfall profits for corporations.
Bennie Coleman's initial $134 debt had increased to nearly $5,000 before his home was taken from him.
Corporate investors have bought liens all over Washington, D.C., and charge homeowners thousands in legal fees and other costs, that balloon their existing debts.
Between 2005 and 2012, the District of Columbia sold 13,000 tax liens to corporate investors. Since 2005, tax lien holders have foreclosed on around 200 homes, with 1,200 more waiting in the wings for foreclosure.
Of the nearly 200 homeowners who have lost their properties since 2005, one in three had liens of less than $1,000, dwarfing the value of their actual property.
And, to add insult to injury, many of the homes foreclosed on were taken by corporations whose employees and representatives had already been caught breaking laws in other states to win tax liens.
Yesterday, D.C. mayor Vincent Gray said he would push for emergency legislation to reform the predatory lien practice, and announced that the city would stop selling liens that are under $1,000.
But, that's too little too late for people like Bennie Coleman, and it's only a temporary fix that does little to address the bigger picture.'
While The Washington Post only talks about the District of Columbia's predatory takeover of tax liens, if the Libertarian dream of privatization of our commons continues to spread unchecked, homeowners all across America will be jammed deeper and deeper into debt as their homes are taken from them.
Bennie Coleman won't just be a cautionary tale; he'll be the new normal.
The commons, particularly functions like tax collection, should belong exclusively to We The People, and not corporate billionaires.

Dial in, drag racing fans: Time to hit Thunder Valley
By Jeff Birchfield • Jun 12, 2019 at 1:23 AM
BRISTOL, Tenn. — The NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals return to Bristol Dragway for their annual Father's Day weekend visit, and there's plenty of action from Friday through Sunday.
Gates open at 10 a.m. on Friday, the same time Sportsman qualifying starts. The midway opens at 12:30 p.m., offering a great chance for fans; after all, as they say, every ticket is a pit pass.
Qualifying for Mountain Motor Pro Stock is at 3:15 p.m., followed by qualifying for Nitro Harley and Pro Mod. The first Nitro session for Funny Car and Top Fuel starts at 4:30 p.m. and the second session at 7:30 p.m. The second session is the most spectacular because it offers the sight of flames shooting out the header pipes against the night sky. It's also typically when the quickest times and fastest speeds are posted.
Gates open at 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sportsman eliminations begin immediately. The third Nitro qualifying session is set for 1 p.m. with the final qualifying session at 4 p.m. Fan fest follows in Nitro Alley 30 minutes after the final qualifying round.
On Sunday, gates open at 10 a.m., and the track walk for the fans starts at 10:45 a.m. Pre-race ceremonies begin at 11 a.m. and eliminations start at noon.
TOP FUEL STORY LINES
Defending Top Fuel champion Steve Torrence is on a tear. The Texan has five straight wins after beating his father, Billy, in last Sunday's final at Topeka. He has a whopping 321-point lead over second-place Doug Kalitta in the NHRA Mello Yello points standings.
Kalitta is always a favorite at Bristol, where he's a three-time Thunder Valley Nationals winner and six-time finalist.
One notable absence is eight-time world champion and six-time Bristol winner Tony Schumacher after the U.S. Army went in a different direction with its sponsorship dollars.
Three-time world champion Antron Brown looks to carry the mantle for the Don Schumacher Racing team and has the extra motivation of Bristol being one of only two NHRA tracks where he hasn't won.
Clay Millican won his first-ever NHRA national event at Bristol in 2017, and 2018 series champion Brittany Force and Australian Richie Crampton are other favorites. The division features a group of talented veterans and a number of up-and-coming drivers.
FUNNY CAR STORY LINES
The battle between John Force Racing and Don Schumacher Racing takes center stage after Robert Hight scored his fourth win of the season at Topeka. Hight beat Schumacher driver Jack Beckman in the final round.
Another DSR driver, Tommy Johnson Jr., ranks second to Hight in the Funny Car standings.
While that was career win No. 49 for Hight, the namesake of the team, John Force, has the all-time record of 149 wins. The 16- time world champion has been pursuing milestone No. 150 since Denver last July but is a favorite at Bristol, where he's a four-time winner.
Somewhat under the radar is the Kalitta Motorsports team of defending series champion J.R. Todd and teammate Shawn Langdon, who looks to become the first driver to win in both Top Fuel and Funny Car at Bristol.
There are plenty of other contenders in both Nitro divisions.

The gender divide
Truth be told, misogyny is a problem in veterinary medicine. Our increasingly female profession can take constructive steps to even the playing field.
Written by Lisa Greenhill, MPA, EdD in October 2020
Is it possible for misogyny to still be a problem in veterinary medicine? Of course.
Back in late July, U.S. Reps. Ted Yoho of Florida and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York had a bit of a run-in on the steps of the Capitol. The episode stemmed from policy comments that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez made during a speech and that Rep. Yoho strongly disagreed with. He used strong words when confronting her. In the end, a reporter overheard Rep. Yoho, a veterinarian, allegedly calling Rep. Ocasio-Cortez a derogatory term often used to describe women.
The politics of these individuals, who are at opposite ends of the spectrum, certainly played a role in how the incident was interpreted, but at its core, it spun into a discussion of sexism and misogyny in general and traditional male spaces specifically. I should note that Rep. Yoho denied any hostile characterization of the incident as well as any name-calling.
In a profession where tensions were already running high due to social unrest around issues of racism, numerous calls were made for organized veterinary medicine to condemn Rep. Yoho. Public statements ranged from outright condemnation to reaffirmation of diversity and inclusion values to acceptance that the incident was best interpreted as a "he said, she said" moment.
What Really Went On?
Given the role I play in the veterinary profession, I was frequently asked my thoughts on the incident. I will share my response here.
Imagine two individuals are genderless stick figures in a conflict. Based on publicly available reports, one stick figure aggressively challenges the other in front of witnesses at work. The interaction is unproductive in seeking resolution of the conflict; in fact, the interaction serves to heighten the conflict dramatically.
As a manager, would I want this kind of conflict between two genderless stick figures to play out at our place of business? No, I would not, because this is not how conflict between colleagues should be handled.
Now, add the demographic dimensions of our characters to the story. The stick figure who instigated the moment is a more senior employee in both age and experience, male and white. The other stick figure is a junior employee, female and Latinx. Not only do I not believe this kind of conflict is appropriate in the workplace, but now that I imagine the age, professional seniority, gender and race/ethnicity of my characters, the unspoken complexity of the interaction becomes a bit easier to see.
As a manager looking to resolve the conflict between these two stick figures, I would need to consider the unconscious perspectives of both of them and how my next move affects the whole team. I also would be asking myself, "Would this have played out the same way if the two figures identified as the same gender?"
Given the pervasiveness of misogyny in the workplace, I do not believe a same-gendered scenario would have received the attention this moment did.
Misogyny in the Workplace
Most observers saw issues of sexism and misogyny as being distinctive in the Yoho/AOC conflict. For clarity, sexism is defined as discrimination based on gender, while misogyny is sexism specifically leveled at women. According to the Pew Research Center, 42% of working women in the United States reported having experienced sex-based discrimination in the workplace, nearly twice the percentage of men reporting similar discrimination. This experience can be shaped by the manager's gender and gender diversity in the work environment.
Sex-based discrimination and misogyny can show up in the workplace in several ways. More overt misogyny can appear as inappropriate jokes, hypergendered language, depreciation of women's professional contributions, sexualized commentary and salary inequity.
Covert misogyny is often characterized by more subtle, microaggressive behavior. Women might be characterized as too emotional, overly ambitious and generally less competent. When being considered for promotion, women in these environs might be told they are "not quite ready for that kind of pressure." In team meetings, women colleagues might consistently be the designated notetaker. Most challenging of all in misogynistic workplaces, a code of silence shuts down opportunities for discussion or complaint about any of these activities. This also means little recourse for victims because so much of sexist and misogynistic behavior is subtle, leaving would-be victims questioning what really happened.
Is Misogyny in Veterinary Medicine Even a Thing?
Women now make up more than half of U.S. veterinarians, with some estimates putting them at 60% of practitioners. According to data from the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges, women comprise 81% of DVM students.
With women clearly being overrepresented in veterinary medicine, is it possible for misogyny to still be a problem in veterinary medicine? The short answer is, of course.
Salary inequity continues to plague the profession. Although the gender wage gap is small in the starting salaries for associate veterinarians, American Veterinary Medical Association data clearly show that the negligible wage gap grows to 20% by midcareer. For new graduates who went immediately into practice ownership in 2018, women start with a 25% salary differential that grows to 80% by midcareer years. Practice ownership among women continues to lag by 20%, meaning those wage gaps will persist if salary equity is not meaningfully addressed.
The leadership of organized veterinary medicine is changing. Recent AVMA data show near gender parity among volunteers for the House of Delegates. Disaggregated data show clear areas for improvement on the board of directors, where women comprise 35% of members.
But these are the visible ways in which misogyny shows up in veterinary medicine. As noted earlier, misogyny often can be far more insidious. Consider some of the language we hear used in and around the profession, particularly related to salary. Critics often note that the dramatic gender shift of the 1980s has resulted in stagnated salaries and that the overwhelming presence of women has made the profession less appealing to men. And to be clear, I have heard men and women assert these ideas to explain what has happened in veterinary medicine.
The inherent misogyny is crystal clear when you reframe these critiques: Women are subjected to lower salary expectations purely because of their gender, resulting in lower salaries for everyone, and men do not want to work with so many women because they do not want to be associated with gendered characteristics.
How to Combat Misogyny in Veterinary Medicine
Here are some simple ways to combat misogyny.
Leaders must commit to not just being anti-sexist for all genders, but especially so for all women, transgender women included. Leaders must take on the responsibility to promote both equality and equity for women in the workplace and in professional organizations.
See something, call it out. So much of misogynistic behavior is not called out because of fear of reprisal or due to dismissive attitudes like, "I didn't mean it like that!" Upon hearing a colleague's sexist comment or joke, privately point it out and, if the behavior persists, escalate as necessary for an appropriate remedy.
Maintain and enforce anti-discrimination policies, onboarding practices and training programs that address sexism and misogyny.
Use hiring practices that emphasize equality. This is more than just avoiding the clearly illegal questions like "Do you plan to have children and when?"
The numeric dominance of women in veterinary medicine sadly does not protect them from misogynistic treatment in all aspects of their professional lives. Such treatment is degrading, demoralizing and does not position the profession well for the future. Changing this requires all of us to be deliberate in our philosophies, policies, practices and characterizations of women in the profession.
Intentional efforts to promote equality are essential to a healthy, viable and thriving veterinary profession.

A blog about vast scales of physical phenomena and how we can survey such ranges with artistic and graphic techniques.
I rendered a scale of information in terms of "bits." It was easy to find the number of bits that fit on a hard disk, or the bytes in the Library of Congress. But what about the information we get from a sideways glance, or a fleeting glimpse of pain on our beloved's face? I would like to find a way to include those types of information as well.
Some say data amounts and speed is increasing so fast (due to Moore's law and other factors) that we are heading for a singularity. To discuss it, please head over to the scalometer wiki.

World number one Mark Selby won the Arcaden Paul Hunter Classic for the second consecutive year by beating Joe Swail 4-1 in the final in Germany.
The Betfair European Tour event, part of the Players Tour Championship series, drew huge crowds to its host city of Furth to see Leicester's 29-year-old Selby win his first title in 11 months.
It was nearly a fairytale finish for veteran Swail, who reached the semi-finals of the World Championship back in 2000 and 2001 but dropped off the main tour at the end of last season after 22 years as a professional. Competing as an amateur, the Ulsterman beat the likes of Shaun Murphy and Barry Hawkins to reach the final, before being denied the trophy by Selby.
Two-time Masters champion Selby went 3-0 up with top breaks of 56, 64 and 43. Swail, age 42, pulled one back with an 83 before Selby closed out victory in frame five with an 85 to win the 12,000 Euro top prize.
Earlier in the semi-finals, Selby ended the impressive run of India's Pankaj Advani by a 4-2 scoreline, while Swail edged out Barry Hawkins 4-3 with a double on the final black to resolve a dramatic deciding frame.
The Players Tour Championship is a series of ten events, four in the UK and six on the Betfair European Tour, with the top 25 on the final Order of Merit going through to the Grand Finals in March. They will be joined by seven players from the Asian PTC Order of Merit.
The next event is UKPTC3 from September 5-9 in Gloucester.

FIW THOUGHTS: The Conjuring
Brody RossiterFIW Horror, FIW THOUGHTS#FilmBlogging, Boogieman, Classic Horror, Evil Dead (2013), Guillermo del Toro, Haunted House, Horror Film, James Wan, Mama, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Sinister, The Conjuring, The Exorcist, Vera FarmigaLeave a comment
This isn't academic writing, maybe not strictly film journalism, and there's little trace of a style guide; it's a conversation or random musings upon the stories that have us talking. They can arrive at any time, but when they do please join the conversation. They are FIW THOUGHTS.
SCARED TO DEATH?
I've just had to type 'The Conjuring' into a Google images search to format this piece under my own extremely rigid and not at all lax style guide framework. Once again staring at its ghoulish imagery was an exceedingly unpleasant experience, but ultimately not as unpleasant as watching the film itself on a rainy Saturday night.
Nevertheless, by unpleasant I mean unpleasant in the best possible, truly petrifying way. Armed with a girlfriend to my right – who is now somewhat desensitized to horror cinema after weeks of me exposing her to a whistle-stop tour of some of its highlights/lowlights – a beer to the left and a general fog of false sense of security (somewhat bolstered by the beer) shrouding the room in hubris, the pair of us continued our search to essentially scare ourselves witless.
It's important to recognise those aforementioned highlights and lowlights with something of a scare-o-meter-esque scale ranging from 'somewhat perturbed' to "What the hell is that!?". At the bottom we have Mama; Andrés Muschietti's 2013 Guillermo del Toro sponsored ghost story. It was a mediocre horror film for numerous reasons: poor creature design, a forgettable mythology at its core, and a final third in which the narrative decided to jump of a cliff and never pull itself out of an abyss of silliness. In the middle we have The Exorcist and Evil Dead (2013), their overarching gory shock-factor earning enough brownie points to tip the scare scales in their favour. Teetering at the top we have the super 8 snuffathon, Sinister; a vehicle for Ethan Hawke to exhibit the terrifying perils of investigative journalism. The film's blurring of the lines between found-footage "realism" and nightmarish urban myth, accompanied by great casting and a darkly robust aesthetic, made our skin crawl and caused me to fear my own home due to its similar layout to Ethan's house of horrors. It also initiated a fun game in which we would txt and email one another pictures of Sinister's "Boogieman", because that's how he finds you y'know…
BOOGIEMAN SPOILER CLICK
Now, back to The Conjuring, after weeks of mild scares and for the most part disappointment, and despite looking pretty ropey due to its use of digital film (you can actually tell where the set designer just painted), the film is a near perfect example of the horror genre. Possessing (foreshadowing…) an engaging and deeply unnerving narrative foundation; an impressive cast including Ron Livingston, Vera Farmiga, and Patrick Wilson; a combination of slow-burn and jump scares; and some incredibly chilling set pieces, The Conjuring currently rests at the top of the patented scare-o-meter.
I'm not going to divulge any plot points primarily because it's totally unnecessary if your sole goal is to be scared, and such procrastination can only detract from the shocks Saw director James Wan has created. I don't particularly care if you think its full of tropes or overly reliant on jump scares because I'm writing this piece at 12am and fact checking these movies isn't fun, just take the advice of two self-styled armchair horror aficionados who achieved their goal and have the sleepless nights to show for it, and experience The Conjuring first-hand – just remember the beer.
The Conjuring is available in several places including Sky Movies but I really don't want to talk about it anymore.

Norwegian Reveals Initial 787 Plans
By Richard Maslen
Posted 5 June 2013 09:34
European low-cost carrier Norwegian has revealed it will use its new Boeing 787 Dreamliners on a series of European routes during July and August before introducing the type on its new long-haul routes from Copenhagen, Oslo and Stockholm to destinations in Asia and North America. These new intercontinental routes were launched from May 30, 2013 and are initially being flown by two Airbus A340-300s wet-leased from Portuguese ACMI provider HiFly due to delays with the deliveries of its initial Dreamliners.
Norwegian has confirmed it is due to receive its first 787 by the end of June 2013 and will receive two additional aircraft in 2013, four more in 2014 and one in 2015. It has confirmed that the initial aircraft will be used on four key routes from its Oslo Gardermoen base from July 4, 2013 as the carrier completes crew training and in-service flight trials before the type makes its long-haul debut. The aircraft will replace a Boeing 737 on scheduled routes to Alicante, Barcelona, London Gatwick and Nice, enabling many passengers to experience the jet. "Scores of passengers will be able to enjoy the comfort of the new aircraft," says the carrier.
"The launch of our intercontinental routes is an important milestone in Norwegian's history. Our goal is that even more passengers should afford to fly – also to other continents. The market for intercontinental flights has long been characterised by artificially high fares and limited flexibility. The reception of our new long-haul routes shows that many want to fly inexpensively and comfortably to New York, Bangkok and Fort Lauderdale."
Bjørn Kjos
Chief Executive Officer, Norwegian
The 787 will make its scheduled debut with Norwegian on July 4, 2013 when it will be introduced on the Malaga and London Gatwick routes. It will serve Malaga five times weekly and London Gatwick twice weekly, before being introduced on two weekly rotations to Alicante and Barcelona from July 5, 2013 and then on three times weekly rotations to Nice from July 6, 2013. According to its provisional schedule the 787 will provisionally be used on these routes until August 4, 2013 enabling final preparation for its long-haul debut later the same month.
Norwegian acquired the Dreamliner to support its growth into intercontinental markets but has been forced to initially launch these flights using wet-leased equipment following the recent grounding of the 787 and the resultant delays it has caused to new deliveries. These flights began on May 30, 2013 between Oslo and New York JFK with flights to the US city from Stockholm starting on May 31, 2013 and services between Oslo and Bangkok commencing on June 1, 2013.
"The launch of our intercontinental routes is an important milestone in Norwegian's history. Our goal is that even more passengers should afford to fly – also to other continents," said Bjørn Kjos, Chief Executive Officer, Norwegian. "We are very happy for the great reception of our long-haul routes and that we finally - after years of planning - are able to welcome our first New York passengers on board. The market for intercontinental flights has long been characterised by artificially high fares and limited flexibility. The reception of our new long-haul routes shows that many want to fly inexpensively and comfortably to New York, Bangkok and Fort Lauderdale."
Norwegian's long-haul programme covers flights from Oslo and Stockholm to New York, Bangkok and Fort Lauderdale and from Copenhagen to Fort Lauderdale. The Dreamliner will make its debut on August 31, 2013 when it will be introduced on the carrier's three times weekly services from Oslo and Stockholm to Bangkok. It will debut on the three times weekly Oslo – New York route from September 1, 2013 and three times weekly Stockholm – New York link from September 2, 2103. From November 29, 2013 a fourth weekly rotation will be added between Oslo and New York, while at the same time Norwegian will introduce twice weekly flights to Fort Lauderdale from Copenhagen (from November 29, 2013), Oslo (from November 30, 2013) and Stockholm (from December 1, 2013).
