Stratification Concentration

Stratification Doctoral Concentration

Chair: Dr. Milan Zafirovski

The study of social stratification involves the study of grounded and reproduced inequalities found in society in terms of wealth, power, and status. Social stratification may focus on specific groups that experience inequality such as racial, sexual, age, and income groups. Many of the UNT and Texas Womans University faculty include stratification as one of their areas of study.  Faculty involved in the social stratification concentration from UNT include Drs: Cynthia Cready, Daniel Rodeheaver, George Yancey, Dale Yeatts, and Milan Zafirovski. Faculty involved in the social stratification concentration from TWU include Drs. Linda Marshall, Philip Yang, and Lisa Zotarelli.
