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 and professionals to present their work, the Symposium seeks to create a greater sense of community among sociological scholars.
We encourage independent research at all levels, but prioritize undergraduate work. In fact, the Symposium aims to give researchers a forum, here at UC Berkeley, to present their data and findings. We especially want to encourage undergraduate and graduate students in varying disciplines who produce quality, pre-professional sociologically imaginative papers that might otherwise fly under the radar.
We invite presenters from a wide-range of academic interests to share their research on “sociological“ topics.
