TL;DR: This article found that evaluators generally draw on four epistemological styles to make arguments in favor of and against proposals, i.e., constructivist, comprehensive, positivist, and utilitarian.

TL;DR: This paper analyzed how members of a stigmatized group understand their experience of stigmatization and assess appropriate responses when asked about the best approach to deal with stigmatization, and about responses to specific incidents.

TL;DR: The authors examine the cultural territories of race through topics such as blacks' strategies for dealing with racism, public categories for definition of race, and definitions of rules for cultural memberships, and examine the largely underexamined cultural universes of black executives, upwardly mobile college students, fast-food industry workers, so-called deadbeat dads, and proponents of Afrocentric curricula.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a theoretical approach for comparative cultural sociology to analyze national cultural differences while avoiding the traditional essentialist pitfalls of culturalism: in particular, they develop the concept of national cultural repertoires of evaluation to point to cultural tools that are unevenly available across situations and national contexts.

TL;DR: A construct that captures the multidimensional character of such collaborations, that of a shared cognitive–emotional–interactional (SCEI) platform is proposed and its value as an integrative lens to examine markers of and conditions for successful interdisciplinary collaborations as defined by researchers involved in these groups is demonstrated.
