Hi! I did my undergrad in cognitive science and my master's in education. I'm planning to apply to sociology phd for fall 2023, that means I have one year to prepare for it. I have taken classes in immigration, stratification, class and higher ed, and I have a reading list of sociology works that I hope to finish before I apply. My problem is that I don't have any publications or writing samples, and I don't really know any faculty in sociology or related fields who can write a strong lor for me. What can I do to boost my resume and perhaps work with people in the field? I'm considering volunteering for sociology research labs, but would they take someone from outside rather than their own students? I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or any opportunities that you know of! Thanks a lot for your help!
