Jason Rodriquez is a doctoral candidate in sociology.  His dissertation is a comparative ethnography of emotion work in two nursing homes, one part of a large, for-profit chain, the other part of a small, non-profit chain.  His research interests include the self, emotions, culture, health policy, and race.  His previous research analyzed how whites use color-blind ideology to culturally appropriate “underground” hip-hop.  His research has been published in Social Psychology Quarterly, Social Problems (co-authored with Jill McCorkel) and the Journal of Contemporary Ethnography.
