Social Change and Development

The Ph.D. concentration in Social Change and Development engages emerging scholars in the theories, methods and empirical examples for analyzing processes of social change and development at the individual, household, community, organizational, institutional, national, and global levels.  Analyses that link two or more levels of analysis are encouraged, as are comparative analyses over time and space.  Principal foci are (1) technological innovation, diffusion, adoption and impacts; (2) social, cultural, demographic, economic and environmental issues in international and domestic development; (3) agency and social movements.
