Overview

Binghamton University's faculty engage critically with how scholars do ethnography and historical research across the disciplines.

Our Sociology program invites doctoral students to take history seriously in formulating the problems and interpretations of the present.

It encourages students to contemplate transnational and world-historical processes within which apparently local and national problems arise. We welcome faculty and students from around the world.

After You Graduate

Graduates of our doctoral program find meaningful careers, both in and outside of academia.
About two thirds or our PhDs over the past 10 years hold full-time academic positions in the US and internationally.
For some, doctoral research becomes a springboard for investing in social and research initiatives through non-profits or government agencies.
