The Graduate Student Council of Sociology (GSCS) invited you to participate in the 2026 May Hot Takes Series events.
The GSCS Hot Takes Series involves faculty members sharing their hot takes on aspects of academia with graduate students in our program. The objective is two-fold:
- For graduate students to meet and network with faculty members, which may be particularly useful if you are looking for committee members or just want to get to know our professors.
- For graduate students to learn how to thrive as a sociologist, beyond classroom-skills.
The May Hot Takes event will take place on Monday, May 4, 2026, between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM at Koerner’s Pub. We will be joined by Professor Seth Abrutyn to hear his hot takes on “Surviving and Thriving in Academic Sociology”, discussing journeys about succeeding in graduate studies and building a career in academic sociology.
Please RSVP via the Qualtrics Survey link. We look forward to seeing you at the Hot Takes Event!
