List colleagues:

 

My daughter graduated from college two years ago with a major in sociology.  She has spent most of the past two years traveling--Central America, Australia and New Zealand, and Asia (currently in India).  In the process of these travels she has become passionate about a number of globalization issues.  She will be coming back to the states by December, and hopes to enter a graduate program in sociology.  I had talked to her earlier about a possible comparative sociology emphasis, but she now says she wants to focus on "refugee sociology."  I must admit I do not know much about the field.  I am assuming this is a subfield of "Immigration and Transnationalism," but I thought someone on the list might know more than I.  She is not much interested in demography, per se, but wants to do qualitative sociological work with refugees. 

 

Any advice for a 24 year old going into such a field? 

Any thoughts about the most outstanding graduate programs in this area?

(She will likely be located in Chicago the first year back, but she will be more mobile after that.)

I believe there was some discussion of differential treatment of

"looters" in the press, but I do not recall whether anyone shared there

photos from the AP.  They have now been taken down from AP, but are

still available on the web:
