Program Description
The department supports a wide range of student
interests, and provides a foundation in theory,
methods, and statistics. We offer six general
areas of research specialization: crime and
deviance (criminal justice system, micro and
macro studies of criminality and delinquency);
environment, community, and demography (risk,
rural and urban communities, global environmental
impacts, environmental justice); institutions and
social organizations (family, work, education,
networks); political sociology (social movements,
global political economy, the state); social
inequality (gender, labor markets,
race/ethnicity, class); social psychology and
life course (norms, transition to adulthood,
identity). Substantial faculty interests also
exist in other areas of the discipline. We
encourage students to nurture broad intellectual
sensibilities. The department maintains seminars
and colloquia that expose students to a full
range of research and debate.
