We're just welcoming our latest cohort of graduate students into the program, which is a very exciting time in the department. Graduate students -- their curiosity, their openness -- are in many ways the life's blood of a sociology department.
We're particularly lucky to have so many students with expansive substantive and methodological interests. And we're proud of their accomplishments -- for example, on display in the Office (Room 57 in CAB), is Keith Guzik's latest book, Arresting Abuse, which examines the way that the criminal justice system's handling of batterers does not effectively change their beliefs about the wrongfulness of their actions, and instead exacerbates their feeling of injustice and inequality. Keith got his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and now teaches at Bloomfield College in New Jersey.
For those graduate students in between -- working on dissertation proposals and their dissertations -- some great advice from a columnist in Inside Higher Education. Sometimes the enormity of a dissertation can just seem overwhelming, but this columnist is really committed to breaking it down into digestible steps.
Demystifying the Dissertation
It can be done!
