社会学哲学博士-政治社会学和社会运动

政治社会学和社会运动是国家和国际社会学研究的两个主要重叠领域，构成了UCI社会学系内研究和指导的重点。在过去的六年中，随着该地区新教师的增加，这个研究集群不仅成为该系的学术基础之一，而且也成为该国的顶级计划之一在其中研究社会运动和相关集体行动形式。该研究集群的生命力部分归因于参与研究的教师的数量和地位以及他们研究的实质性，理论和方法论的广度，如列出的一些近期出版物和一些最新的研究成果所表明的那样。研究项目。就像一般系一样，该领域的教师与学生紧密合作，因此学生很可能会发现自己在自己的项目中与教师紧密合作，或
Political sociology and social movements are two major, overlapping areas of sociological inquiry, both nationally and internationally, and constitute a central focus of research and instruction within the UCI Sociology Department. With the addition of new faculty in this area over the past six years, not only has this research cluster become one of the Department's scholarly cornerstones, but it has also become one of the top programs in the country in which to study social movements and related forms of collective action. The vitality of this research cluster is attributable partly to the number and prominence of participating faculty as well as to the substantive, theoretical and methodological breadth of their research, as indicated by the listing of a few of their respective recent publications and some of their current research projects. Faculty in this area, just as in the Department in general, work closely with students, so students are likely to find themselves working closely with faculty on one of their projects or working with a mentor as they pursue their own projects. Two organizational appendages of this cluster offer additional opportunities to students: the developing Center for the Study of Collective Action, which brings together interested faculty and students from across the UCI campus to engage in joint research, seminars and workshops, and the Social Justice & Social Movement seminar, which meets twice monthly to discuss works in progress relevant to politics and social movements.
