Political Sociology
Faculty in the department offer courses and publish in a wide range of areas within political sociology including urban politics, social movements, state-formation, revolutions, and cross-national patterns of social policy and policy outcomes. The Workshop on Politics and Social Change provides a common forum for graduate students and faculty interested in political sociology and opportunities for graduate students to present their own work as well as to invite scholars from other universities to discuss their work in progress. In addition to the offerings within the department, graduate students can take advantage of the many courses and workshops available within the Social Sciences Division, the Harris School of Public Policy, and the School of Social Service Administration.
