Department of Sociology |
|
The Department of Sociology is committed to a program of research and teaching that is both firmly grounded in the classical tradition of the discipline and addressed to contemporary issues. The Department's intellectual distinction, and distinctiveness, is based on work that is macro-sociological, theoretically driven, and empirically grounded. To take some representative examples, current scholarship includes analyses of the culture wars, the major trends of the century, stratification systems in American high schools, consequences of welfare reform, the rebirth of nationalism, the meaning and effects of marriage, scientific networks, and organizational change efforts. While theoretically varied, our work is fully empirical and draws on a broad array of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Members of the Department are also committed to the enhancement of interdisciplinary approaches.
