Wisconsin sociologist Mustafa Emirbayer co-wrote two books about this identity category with his doctoral student Matthew Desmond. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this socially constructed type of identity studied by W. E. B. Du Bois (“doo-BOYCE”). Kimberlé Crenshaw first used the term “intersectionality” to discuss women burdened by sex and by this category.
ANSWER: race [accept The Racial Order; accept Race in America; prompt on skin color; anti-prompt on Blackness or Whiteness or non-Whiteness by asking “what type of identity is that an example of?”; reject “ethnicity”]
[10m] With Ann Mische, Emirbayer co-wrote an essay asking what this concept is. Anthony Giddens’s structuration theory tried to resolve a debate that pitted this capacity for self-directed action against “structure.”
ANSWER: agency [accept “What Is Agency?”; accept agentic orientation, process, dimension, etc.; accept answers indicating the agency-versus-structure debate]
[10h] Like Pierpaolo Donati, Emirbayer wrote a “manifesto” titled for this sociology paradigm, which rejects “discrete, pre-given units” and instead sees transactions, interactions, and networks as fundamental.
ANSWER: relational sociology [accept “Manifesto for a Relational Sociology”; accept critical realist relational sociology; accept sociologia relazionale]
