Affiliated Faculty

Tenured and tenure-track faculty in other departments on campus may be nominated by the Chair or Director of Graduate Studies for appointment as affiliated faculty in the department of sociology. Faculty affiliate nominees must write a letter indicating how their interests and qualifications fit into our graduate program and the department’s research focus. A vote of 2/3 of the tenured sociology faculty in favor is required to grant affiliate status. Affiliated faculty interested in serving on doctoral advisory committees in the department of sociology must be nominated for graduate faculty status (for members) or doctoral faculty status (for advisors or co-advisors), must receive 2/3 vote in favor of the nomination by tenured faculty in the department of sociology, and must be approved for graduate or doctoral status in the department of sociology by the Graduate School.
