Students focusing on inequality examine the systemic roots and personal impacts of discrimination based on race, gender, and economic status. Our foundation lies in understanding how class, gender, and ethnicity shape unequal opportunities in society. This specialization promotes comprehensive analysis of inequality, emphasizing the intricate relationships between cultural factors, employment, political systems, and daily experiences. Research by both faculty and students encompasses diverse methodologies while maintaining a theoretically grounded, justice-focused perspective on sociological inequality studies. Currently, this is the most popular graduate specialization within NC State's Ph.D. program.
