Research in Sociology

3 units

Students will conduct individual research in collaboration with and under the supervision of an assigned faculty mentor. This course aims to familiarize graduate students with the research and publication process, in addition to providing informal professional socialization during their early years within the department's PhD program. Students must register for the section assigned to their respective faculty member, and consult with their faculty member about course requirements and research expectations prior to enrollment. Students must successfully complete three semesters of the course to fulfill graduate program requirements; however, the collaborations and relationships forged within this course sequence are strongly encouraged to continue well past students' required enrollment. This course is open only to Sociology graduate students.
