The UC Berkeley Sociological Research Symposium provides undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals the opportunity to share exceptional sociological work from different disciplines. By inviting students to present their work, the Symposium seeks to create a greater sense of community among sociological scholars. For every year, we recruit 30 outstanding scholars to present their researches in our symposium with approximately 200 attendees. We also give out three Danesha McCoy Awards to presenters with exceptional research. We invite students across different disciplines whose research builds upon the theme for this year, "Navigating Social Fields: Tensions and Impacts of a Changing Era". Full theme description is on our website: https://socsymp.berkeley.edu. Research projects in progress are also accepted.

UC Berkeley Sociological Research Symposium The Sociological Research Symposium Committee is proud to announce our 2018 theme: Navigating Social Fields: Tensions and Impacts of a Changing Era Anna
