rjparson Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 My focus is in culture and stratification with a focus on religion and race/ethnicity. Did anyone else have a hard time finding areas of sociology that they are not interested in? The only subfields I couldn't see myself being interested in are economic sociology and environmental (not that those aren't great subfields; they just aren't for me). I had the same problem. I'm not terribly interested in gender/sexuality, crime, the environment, or medical sociology, but I had a hard time narrowing my SoP beyond that. I'm interested in stratification, economic sociology, culture/religion, and somewhat interested in rural issues.
Hydra_89 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I applied to programs in Marxist sociology, political economy, social movements and globalization. Even more specifically, I applied to study issues surrounding water (water justice, conflicts, movements, etc). I hope I wasn't *too* narrow! Edited January 30, 2015 by Hydra_89

breaks0 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Good luck to you, Hydra. I applied to 3 of your schools too and did my undergrad at Oberlin, back in the day. Am also applying for Marxism, but more in addition to development, focused on primitive accumulation in some schools and labor in some others.

mohdkhamsya Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Hello everyone! Applied to do urban poverty and social capital formation in the third sector with interests in race, religion and migration.
busybeinganxious Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Gender studies, popular culture, and sociology of aging. The last one is a bit of a reach, as neither of the programs I apply to really deal with it very much. I think my sweet spots lie in the intersections between them. How the elderly navigate different aspects of popular culture for example.
