Associate Professor Edward Orozco Flores wins American Sociological Association (ASA) honorable mention.

August 25, 2017

Professor Flores' Social Problems article, "Grow Your Hair Out: Chicano Gang Masculinity and Embodiment in Recovery," won the ASA Section on Body and Embodiment's honorable mention for best publication. The article challenges functionalist-oriented perspectives on gang desistance, examining how the realities of faith-based recovery, from gang life, are rooted in masculine, embodied contests.
