“…Similar findings exist to illustrate that friendships can help to catalyze youth participation in democratic processes (Terriquez et al, 2020). Building upon this notion of friendships as opportunities for student participation in democratic practices, the students at MHS initiated conversations and drove the implementation of building a more critically inclusive school environment for their fellow gender non-conforming peers with their administrators and teachers.…”

How do school leaders make sense of the mess of the regimes of the normal (Warner, 1993) when they themselves are beyond the norm? While we may be beyond the normal, we are also “awash in the flow of the everyday” (Manalansan, 2018, p. 2). Though we may resist and see ourselves as beyond the norm (Weiser et al., 2019), we are never “in a position of exteriority in relation” (Foucault, 1978, p. 95) to the norms of power. Using data from several different projects collected over the past several years, we conceptualize a new way to consider not only data, but also how embracing new formations of leadership, which may appear messy, can work toward liberatory praxis. Drawing upon our archive of previous projects (DeMartino & Weiser, 2021; Weiser, 2018; Weiser et al., 2019, DeMartino, 2020) that have been published, as well as completed but not-yet-published projects, we funk (Warner, 1993) up our relations to these archives (Cvetkovich, 2003; Manalansan, 2014) to uncover how we have been engaged in the act of making a mess through our research. Parallel to the idea of failure as distinctly queer (Halberstam, 2011),we aim to understand how engaging in the messiness of identity-based research using art and visual methods (Leavy, 2017) can provide pathways forward for educational leaders who are willing to get dirty in order to support members of the educational community who do not fit cleanly into cisheteropatriarchal standards.

This article is a version of Professor Smith's Presidential Address as delivered at the annual meetings of the Eastern Sociological Society in Boston, March 2022. Most sociologists go into the field hoping our work will help address the inequalities or injustices we study, but academic institutions and careers strongly guide most of our work away from the engagement needed to have such impacts. With others, I argue for changes in academic careers and institutions to better recognize, promote, and reward publicly engaged sociology, which would help academia honor its social contract. I briefly engage Burawoy's concept of public sociology, then propose types of publicly engaged sociology that align with how many sociologists do such work: Reframing/Debunking Sociology, Institutionally Engaged Sociology, and Community Engaged Sociology. Next, I analyze several obstacles to publicly engaged—and especially community engaged—sociology, including epistemic assumptions and evaluative practices stemming from instrumental positivism, belief in a canonical Hawthorne effect as a clean experimental finding, and a bias against research that helps research participants or partners. Finally, I offer advice and strategies to younger sociologists wishing to do such work and recommend ways academic institutions and practices could better support publicly engaged sociology, including by training students and faculty in how to do it, creating a Journal of Publicly Engaged Sociology, and amending ASA's Code of Ethics.

“…The influence of peers may be particularly impactful for vulnerable adolescents who experience marginalization or navigate contexts where inequities are more pronounced. A recent study found that peer relationships bolstered critical perspectives and activist participation among Latinx adolescents who encountered oppressive circumstances (Terriquez et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Adolescence is a critical period for sociopolitical development (Flanagan & Levine, 2010) and both socialization and individual beliefs can promote civic participation. Scholars have acknowledged the importance of peer influence on civic behaviors and beliefs during adolescence (Diemer & Li, 2011;Terriquez et al, 2020), yet the social processes that underlie youth civic engagement remain unclear. According to critical consciousness theory, adolescents' awareness of systemic inequities is dependent on social interactions and reciprocally linked with civic action (Freire, 1970).…”

Service, Activism, and Friendships in High School: A Longitudinal Social Network Analysis of Peer Influence and Critical Beliefs

Scholars acknowledge that friends shape youth civic engagement, but the relative contribution of peer influence and critical beliefs to civic behaviors has yet to be disaggregated. Informed by sociopolitical development and critical consciousness theories, the present study used longitudinal social network analysis to examine peer socialization and adolescents’ awareness of systemic inequities in relation to participation in service and activist activities at a high school serving primarily low-income Latinx youth. Students were surveyed in May 2019 and May 2020 (N = 354; 51% female; in 2019, Mage = 15.9, age range 14.4 to 18.5). The results yielded evidence of peer influence on service activities, but not activism or perceptions of inequities. In contrast, adolescents’ perception of inequities predicted their activist behavior, but not service, after controlling for network effects and individual covariates. The school provided scaffolding for service activities, but not activist activities, potentially explaining the salience of service participation in youth friendship networks.
