PhD in Sociology - Inequalities 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 influences our daily experiences. With its specialized analytical framework, theoretical approaches, and investigative techniques, sociology broadens our insight into human connections, cultural practices, and societal systems that significantly impact both individual lives and collective history. As an integral component of the renowned Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, our Sociology Department emphasizes examining, challenging, and tackling systemic inequities. 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 our curriculum—encompass numerous fields including global interconnectedness, migration patterns, cross-national studies, healthcare systems, aging processes, developmental trajectories, family dynamics, educational systems, labor relations, power structures, economic systems, and cultural phenomena.
