Overview
About the program
The doctoral program of the Department of Sociology at Binghamton University is distinguished by its emphasis on world-historical social science.
It offers promising scholars the opportunity to pursue the critical study of political economy, culture, power, knowledge and hierarchies of class, race and gender. Inquiry is guided by multiple theoretical approaches and research methodologies and addresses the interplay of the local and the global, as well as the past and the present.
Substantive research interests include, but are not limited to, labor, work and world-scale capital accumulation; imperialism, colonialism and diasporic formations; state formation and hegemony; social movements; racial, ethnic and gendered forms of domination; processes and institutions of knowledge production and distribution; world-systems studies; historical sociology; and alternative paths of technological and economic change and their divergent social and environmental consequences.
