CSDE Seminar - Gendered Dissent and Social Threat: Attitudes Towards Protest Repression in Colombia - Gabriella Levy
Speaker: Michael Shultz, Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, University of Washington
Speaker: Kristin Perkins, Sociology, Georgetown University
Speaker: Gabriella Levy, Political Science, University of Washington
Abstract: What determines support for police restraint in times of social protest? Previous research shows perceptions of protest violence increase support for repression. We argue that protests violating social norms are also seen as less deserving of restraint— even when they pose no physical threat. Focusing on gender-related protests, we test this argument using a survey experiment in Bogot´a, Colombia, which like many cities in Latin America has repeatedly experienced women-led protests in recent years. Our results show that protests for LGBTQ+ rights and expanded abortion access reduce support for restraint compared to demands that are less threatening to the social order, even though perceptions of violence do not vary by protest goals. Non-violent protest tactics that violate tradi…

Speaker: Michael Shultz, Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, University of Washington
Speaker: Kristin Perkins, Sociology, Georgetown University
Speaker: Gabriella Levy, Political Science, University of Washington
Speaker: Robert Crosnoe, Sociology, The University of Texas at Austin
Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of a new book, The Journey into Adulthood in Uncertain Times, co-authored with Shannon Cavanagh and published in 2025 by Russell Sage. It tackles some key questions of interests to population scientists, developmental scientists, and the public, including: Is the lengthening span of time that young people in the U.S. take to transition into adult roles creating a new generation of “adultolescents”? How has the decades-long reshaping of this critical period of life been complicated by specific historical crises? The answers to these questions come from What does this interplay between long-term trends and short-term shocks mean for the cycle of inequality across Ameri…

CSDE Seminar - Infrastructures of Resettlement: How Bureaucratic Legacies Shaped Racial Disparities in Post-Cold War Refugee Selection - Jake Watson
Speaker: Michael Shultz, Evans School of Public Policy & Governance, University of Washington
Speaker: Kristin Perkins, Sociology, Georgetown University
Speaker: Gabriella Levy, Political Science, University of Washington
Speaker: Robert Crosnoe, Sociology, The University of Texas at Austin
Speaker: Jake Watson, Sociology, University of California San Diego
Abstract: This paper draws on migration infrastructure perspectives to theorize how states select refugees. After the Cold War, the United States shifted its refugee admissions program from a focus on anticommunism toward more humanitarian criteria, marked by greater need-based selection and distributional equity – including explicit efforts to increase African admissions. Yet the 1990s saw the US resettle roughly 300,000 Europeans and just 40,000 Africans despite comparably large displacement crises in Yugoslavia and the Horn of Africa. Why? While scholars explain such disparities through explicit racial preferences or geopolitical interests, I show t…
