Overview

Welcome to Sociological Insight!

Sociological Insight is a fully refereed national undergraduate research journal aimed at promoting undergraduate research in the social sciences. Insight provides an opportunity for undergraduates all over the U.S. and abroad to publish their best academic work, and to reap the benefits of subjecting their research to a rigorous review process.

May 2011 issue is now in print! 

We are pleased to announce that the third issue of Sociological Insight, Volume 3 (May 2011), is now in print. During Fall 2010, Sociological Insight received 25 submissions from 17 universities, and employed 9 faculty and 14 undergraduate reviewers from the department of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. The 25 submissions were from: 

Princeton University, Loyola University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Gordon College, Syracuse University, University of California-Los Angeles, University of California-Davis, Macalester College, Texas Tech University, University of Maryland-College Park, University of Minnesota, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of South Florida, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wheaton College, Yale University, and the University of Texas at Austin. 

Each article was also evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief and the Managing Editor. Ultimately, eight articles and three book reviews were chosen for publication. We hope you will enjoy the diverse intellectual perspectives, innovative methods, and exciting research findings presented in this third issue of Sociological Insight. In addition to volume 3 of our publication, Sociological Insight also sponsored its inaugural Insight: A Conference on Undergraduate Sociology in May 2011. The day-long conference is another opportunity for undergraduates to present their research, learn from their peers, and attend workshops devoted to furthering their skill set within the discipline. We look forward to bringing our readers many more excellent publications and conferences in future years.
