“…Particularly, racial belonging has become a predominant indicator for political identity (Lluch, 2019), with Black Americans more often voting as a bloc, for Democratic candidates, than other racial and ethnic groups, and this trend continued over the past several years (White & Laird, 2020). The existence of voting blocs among racial and ethnic communities allows for community demands to be reflected in the PMF by leveraging measures of diversity within geographic boundaries.…”

“…The research in sociology has made evident that race is socially constructed (Morning, 2007); more pointedly, race has meaning because it can be used to explain shared and systemic (institutional) experiences rather than genetic variations of the human condition (Smaje, 1997; Yanow, 2003). Particularly, racial belonging has become a predominant indicator for political identity (Lluch, 2019), with Black Americans more often voting as a bloc, for Democratic candidates, than other racial and ethnic groups, and this trend continued over the past several years (White & Laird, 2020).

The traditional political market framework (PMF) argues that elected officials respond to policy demands by adopting policy that furthers their goal of reelection. However, an emerging crisis can make this approach to decision‐making challenging as the immediacy of response, the needs of the public, and technical expertise may conflict with reelection goals. This conflict can encourage elected officials to engage in blame avoidance by delegating policy‐making powers to the bureaucracy. Utilizing a mixed methods approach to analyze state‐level governor responses to COVID‐19, this paper expands the PMF by capturing the influence of bureaucratic demands on elected official decisions to delegate or transfer power to the bureaucracy. We find evidence that bureaucratic expertise, under the right set of circumstances, influences policymaker decisions to delegate policymaking power. Lastly, we advocate for a renewed focus on democratic principles and the consequences of delegation for transparency, accountability, and social equity. In understanding the specific dynamics at play when bureaucrats and executives work to develop policy in crisis, practitioners may gain a better understanding of how to navigate difficult decisions. The specific executive orders across states are not particularly well‐known, and providing evidence of the steps other states took to combat the crisis may prove useful to practitioners in the emergency management space. If practitioners have a more complete understanding of why policy is made and by what mechanisms, they may apply a focus on implementation strategies that are effective and relevant.

“…As the field of Culture and Cognition has grown, new themes, questions, and puzzles are emerging, moving the field into new intellectual terrain. Moreover, increased interest in cognitive processes now informs research across a wide range of sociological fields, including race and ethnicity (e.g., Bonilla-Silva 2019;Brown 2013;Fox and Guglielmo 2012;Lluch 2019;Ray 2019), social networks (e.g., Hoffmann 2014Srivastava and Banaji 2011), inequality, poverty, and mobility (e.g., Auyero and Swistun 2008;Rivers et al 2017;Sampson and Raudenbush 2004), political sociology, social movements, and nationalism (e.g., Bonikowski 2016;Gerteis 2002;Saguy and Ward 2011;Steinman 2012;Young 2002), and gender (e.g., Beisel and Kay 2004;Blair-Loy 2003;Epstein 2007;Read and Oselin 2008).…”

Introduction to the Special Issue Culture and Cognition: New Approaches and New Applications

In recent decades, a burgeoning literature finds cultural sociologists incorporating ideas from the cognitive sciences-cognitive anthropology, cognitive psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and philosophy--and significantly reshaping sociologists' approach to culture, both theoretically and methodologically. Elsewhere, we have reviewed the cognitive turn in cultural sociology (Cerulo, Leschziner and Shepherd, 2021). But in this special issue, authors capitalize on new directions in culture and cognition, providing 12 original articles that forward new theoretical ideas, offer novel methodologies, provide exciting empirical tests of current theories, and suggest possible applications of the culture and cognition lens to other sub-disciplines in sociology.

Rethinking Culture and Cognition

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Paul DiMaggio's (1997) Annual Review of Sociology article urged integration of the cognitive and the cultural, triggering a cognitive turn in cultural sociology. Since then, a burgeoning literature in cultural sociology has incorporated ideas from the cognitive sciences—cognitive anthropology, cognitive psychology, linguistics, neuroscience and philosophy—significantly reshaping sociologists’ approach to culture, both theoretically and methodologically. This article reviews work published since DiMaggio's agenda-setting piece—research that builds on cross-disciplinary links between cultural sociology and the cognitive sciences. These works present new ideas on the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of culture, on how forms of personal culture interact, on how culture becomes shared, and on how social interaction and cultural environments inform cognitive processes. Within our discussion, we point to research questions that remain unsettled. We then conclude with issues for future research in culture and cognition that can enrich sociological analysis about action more generally.
