Publication Highlights

Faculty and graduate student publications are only one of the marks of an excellent graduate program, but they are a very important component.
  • We publish in the leading general journals of our discipline. We have published recently in the American Sociological Review, the American Journal of Sociology, and Social Forces.
     
  • We publish in leading specialty journals. We have published, for example, in Criminology, Work and Occupations, Gender and Society, Administrative Science Quarterly, Rural Sociology, Social Psychology Quarterly, the Journal of Marriage and Family, the Journal of Family Issues, and the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
     
  • We publish books, as well. Three of our recent books have captured considerable attention: Small Sacrifices by Anne Schiller, Unlocking the Iron Cage by Michael Schwalbe, and Gender Vertigo by Barbara Risman.
     
  • Our faculty publishes a lot. Last year, the faculty published 16 articles in refereed journals, 5 book chapters, and 2 books. Click here for 13 years of comparative data.
