PhD in Sociology - Education and Family in Syracuse United States | Syracuse University

Move past conventional perspectives on reality to uncover a richer, more thought-provoking comprehension of social existence. Sociology provides a unique and questioning lens through which to examine the social environment that surrounds and influences us. With its specialized analytical framework, theoretical approaches, and investigative techniques, sociology broadens our insight into human connections, cultural patterns, and societal systems that significantly impact both individual experiences and collective human development. As an integral component of the renowned Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, our Sociology Department emphasizes examining, challenging, and responding to systemic social disparities. Our distinguished faculty, skilled in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, delivers exceptional instruction in research techniques, theoretical concepts, and diverse sociological topics. Faculty research and coursework span multiple domains including global interconnectedness, migration patterns, cross-national studies, wellness, aging processes, developmental trajectories, family dynamics, educational systems, labor markets, power structures, economic systems, and cultural phenomena.
