The Department offers training in most major subfields of sociology, organized around seven broad areas of concentration — Culture and Knowledge; Economic Sociology and Organizations; Gender and Sexuality; Health and Healthcare; Power, History and Social Change; Race, Ethnicity, and Immigration; and Social Demography. Students may also work with faculty to develop individualized areas of specialization.
