Summer 2025 “Research Institute in Sociology and Social Inequality” (Research Experience for Undergraduates)
Texas A&M Sociology Department
This 8-week summer program (June 2nd - July 25th) is an exciting opportunity for 8 undergraduates to gain research experience with close guidance from a faculty mentor. Texas A&M faculty will provide opportunities to engage in research on the causes and consequences of social inequality. Students will gain hands-on training in a range of research methods, including interviewing, experiments, and survey analysis. In addition, Texas A&M Sociology boasts two research centers that will support the students’ work: the Texas Federal Statistical Research Data Center and the Howard B. Kaplan Laboratory for Social Science Research. Examples of research projects and details about the program can be found at https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/sociology/reu/.
Students will complete a research project and present their work at an academic conference the following semester (at the Southern Demographic Association annual meeting in Lexington, KY). The program covers travel costs for the summer, room and board, travel costs for the academic conference in the following semester, and a stipend.
Students can access the application and more information at https://liberalarts.tamu.edu/sociology/reu/. Applications are due February 17th, 2025. The program is best suited for students who are currently in their second or third year of college, although we will consider students at other stages; students must be graduating December 2025 or later in order to be eligible. We especially encourage applications from first-generation students and students from historically underserved groups.

Honors Program students develop long-lasting networks with other sociologists while their sponsoring departments get to showcase their most outstanding majors.
At each year’s Annual Meeting, Honors Program students will:
- Present in an Honors Program roundtable paper session and participate in Honors Program workshops on careers and graduate school;
- Take part in regular sessions and special events; and
- Learn more about the ASA’s programs, initiatives, resources, special interest sections, elected leadership, and governance arms
Participation in the Honors Program requires nomination by an individual who is familiar with your academic work, scholarship, writing ability, research interests, and research potential in sociology.
