Politics, Culture and Society (familiarly known as PCS) is a weekly training seminar of graduate students and faculty who are interested in research in a broad range of sociological areas including but not limited to political sociology and cultural sociology and using a wide variety of theoretical perspectives and both quantitative and qualitative methods. Most sessions are devoted to relatively informal faculty or student presentations of work in progress followed by lively discussion. Visitors and newcomers are welcome. PCS also sponsors a working paper series. PCS meets
Tuesdays 12:30-2 in Room 8108 Sewell Social Science Building. Papers are circulated through the PCS email list.
