UCSD Department of Sociology



			Sociology is the systematic study of societies: their composition, organization, culture, and development. The Department of Sociology at UCSD is unique in that most of its faculty work in three fields: comparative-historical sociology, the sociology of culture, and the sociology of science, technology, and medicine. In addition, the department offers basic training in social theory, and quantitative and qualitative methodologies. A further distinguishing feature of this department is that a large proportion of its members are engaged in the study of foreign countries: their institutions, culture, interactions with other nations, development, and change. UCSD sociologists do research not only on the United States, but also on societies in Africa, Latin America, East Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. ANNOUNCEMENTS . . .
