Ringkasan program

This program offers training that provides preparation for academic, research, and applied careers. The doctoral program is characterized by an intellectually stimulating and academically rigorous, yet supportive, environment. With a low graduate student-faculty ratio, the department offers students the opportunity to work closely with a dynamic, high-quality, research-oriented faculty that has a wide range of interests. Many times, students are invited to collaborate with faculty members on theoretical and empirical research. Students and faculty often work with community groups and government agencies to promote progressive social change. Students also benefit from a teacher training program; opportunities to teach a variety of undergraduate courses; funding for travel to professional meetings and close interaction with faculty in colloquia and seminars. Students in the inequality concentration study the structural sources and individual consequences of racism, sexism and economic exploitation. It begins with the recognition that it is along the dimensions of class, gender and ethnicity that inequalities in life chances are most clearly distributed and contested. This area encourages students to develop a holistic approach to the analysis of inequality, recognizing the complex connections between culture, work, politics and everyday life. Faculty and student research run the gamut of methodological orientations, but tend to share a conceptually rich and social justice oriented approach to the sociological study of inequality.
