Scholars of employment segregation now recognize that gender, race, and class processes are mutually constitutive. Coupled with new data-collection strategies, understanding of the organization of work and distribution of inequality will improve. The authors explore the strengths and weaknesses of longitudinal establishment data collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), comparing these to other data used to study workplace status processes. Findings both confirm and dispute well-known occupation-based analyses of workplace segregation and lead to similar substantive conclusions. EEOC data are useful for discovering trends in segregation, for locating segregation in spatial, temporal, and industrial contexts, and for combining with organizational data to uncover mechanisms.

Hugh Latimer's 1548 “Sermon of the Plough” is well-known as an example of early English evangelical rhetoric. However, the sermon has often been considered as an effect of, rather than a participant in, evangelical theology. This article reads Latimer's rhetoric, especially his creation of a persona, as fully theological, using Melanchthon's valorization of rhetoric over logic as a model. Latimer's sermon produces an authority that is not limited to Latimer himself, but serves as a reformation of Catholic notions of the authoritative role of the Church, a role based upon the rhetorically effective presentation of the Bible.
