Contributing to Sociology through Publications and Other Accomplishments

We begin this listing by congratulating several individuals on their special accomplishments since publication of the Fall 2018 issue of Sociology News.

WSU Sociology faculty and graduate students undertake creative research that contributes to our understanding of the causes and consequences of human behavior. During the past year, department members have successfully completed more than 50 publications on a variety of issues. They range from gender and family caregiving, to how changes in marijuana laws are affecting people throughout the United States. Other issues include military behaviors, renewable energy, and the ways that normative behaviors are maintained. The breadth of research under way is essential for supporting our graduate and undergraduate teaching efforts.

The publications and grants included here are for all faculty and graduate students in 2018 and forthcoming 2019, not reported in the Fall 2018 issue of Sociology News. Faculty names are bolded, graduate student names are bolded and followed by an asterisk. Former graduate students are identified by degree completion year.

(Professional presentations and special service to the discipline are reported annually in Fall issues of Sociology News.)
