教师 Apprentice Opportunities

The 社会学 faculty are active scholars, 和 students have the opportunity to apprentice with faculty in several ways.

Students on assistantships are assigned to help faculty with their research for 6 to 20 hours per week. 教师 often have ongoing research projects (both funded 和 unfunded) that students work on 和 use for their thesis data. Recently students have worked on such projects as:

• College Underage Drinking Project
• 农村卖淫
• 监区文化
• Violence Against Women
• Rural Welfare Reform Project

There have been several journals housed in the department (Rural 社会学, 社会学关注, 刑事司法, American Review of China Studies) providing opportunities for students to learn about publishing. Another way in which students apprentice with faculty is through original M.A. 论文研究.
