Overview
We are a broad and diverse department organized around a number of overlapping research areas and we encourage students to find their own distinct location in the rich intersections of the department.
Features
- Our Sociology program at Rutgers University places a heavy emphasis on writing, sound methods, and theoretical framing. We encourage students to develop papers and articles based on original scholarly work.
- All of our students write two article-length papers before they begin to work on their doctoral dissertation.
- These papers are often presented at national and regional conferences, as well as in formal and informal workshops in the department (including the required Writing Seminar, which helps students prepare papers for publication).
