Research Centers @ the Department of Sociology

The department is closely involved with two research centers: the Center for Research on Military Organization and the Maryland Population Research Center, the latter of which Joan Kahn is Associate Director. Each of these centers has a separate suite of offices, including secretarial support, faculty and student offices, and conference/data analysis rooms. Collectively, these centers account for over five million dollars in annual research funding.

The Sociology Department is also affiliated with an interdisciplinary Joint Program on Survey Methods (JPSM), which was founded by Stanley Presser and his colleagues at the University of Michigan and Westat. This program, which is funded by the federal statistical system, provides additional resources to faculty and students interested in survey research.
