Past Workshops

Notes

The Sociology Workshop Series has 5 related goals: (1) To provide a forum for faculty and students to present work in progress; (2) To expose faculty and students to work that is going on in the department; (3) To expose graduate students in their 1st years of the program to a wide variety of substantive areas, theoretical perspectives, and research methodologies, and aid in their professional socialization; (4) To provide advanced graduate students with an opportunity to present their work, especially before giving job talks or presenting at professional meetings; and (5) To provide faculty and students with better familiarity with sociologically-relevant research going on elsewhere at the university or in the broader community. With in the department, workshop presenters will represent each of the department's major substantive areas and will showcase major on-going research projects. Format: Presenters have the floor from 4:00 to 4:45pm, but they will expect friendly interruptions for questions of clarification or for brief comments. The final 30 minutes will be reserved exclusively for questions and informal discussion. Contact Joe Gerteis (612.624.1615 or gerte004@umn.edu) with questions or comments.
