社会学哲学博士-全球社会变革

研究生学习的重点是跨国，比较研究以及长期的，世界范围的社会变革。该计划的目的是让学生了解这些领域的各种理论观点，数据收集和分析的经验以及一个或多个实质性领域的专业知识。尽管教师们对拉丁美洲，非洲，亚洲，中东以及东欧和东南欧进行了广泛的研究，但该计划并不针对特定的地理区域。代替地理方法，重点是跨越不同国家和世界区域的发展和社会变革问题。例如全球化和区域化，劳动力与发展，城市体系和城市至上，社会运动和革命，国家暴力，移民和劳动力形成，家庭结构与变化，社会结构和个性以及国家和国际分层。
This concentration of graduate study focuses on cross-national, comparative research, and long-term, world-scale social change. The goal of the program is to give students knowledge of the various theoretical perspectives in these areas, experience in data collection and analysis, and expertise in one or more substantive fields. The program does not focus on a particular geographic area, although faculty members have conducted extensive research on Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Instead of a geographical approach, the emphasis is on issues of development and social change that cut across different countries and world regions. Examples are globalization and regionalization, labor and development, city systems and urban primacy, social movements and revolutions, state violence, migration and labor force formation, family structure and change, social structure and personality, and national and international stratification.
