Author: Christopher P. Scheitle, Katie Corcoran, and Taylor Remsburg

Christopher P. Scheitle is an associate professor of sociology at West Virginia University. His research examines the social structure and dynamics of religion in the United States, with particular interests in issues connected to religion and science and religious discrimination and victimization. His most recent books are 2023's The Faithful Scientist: Experiences of Anti-Religious Bias in Scientific Training and Religion vs. Science: What Religious People Really Think with Elaine Howard Ecklund. Katie Corcoran is a professor of sociology at West Virginia University. She is a theoretical generalist who studies social groups and networks as links between macro- structures and micro- attitudes and behaviors. Her research applies these lenses to several empirical subfields—organizations, culture, crime/deviance, religion, emotion, inequality, and social movements. She is interested in exploring the processes by which individuals join and leave groups, invest time and resources in them, and come to hold their norms and values. Taylor Remsburg is a graduate research assistant in sociology at West Virginia University. She is a masculinity scholar with a focus on how masculinity is internalized and enacted by women in organizational contexts and how this internalization and enactment reproduces inequality.
