Class Analysis and Historical Change

The CAHC program offers the opportunity to develop a rigorous and systematic understanding of Marxist and other radical frameworks within sociology. The unity of the program lies less in a specific set of substantive areas than in a general commitment to engaging the core questions posed by radical traditions of social theory, challenging the theoretical orientation of mainstream sociology and developing critical alternatives. The program is built around two core courses (given each year), several core seminars (each given at least once every three years) and a number of specialized seminars (given on an irregular basis). Students also participate in the Havens Center Visiting Scholar’s Program seminar, in which they have an opportunity to meet with prominent critical scholars from around the world.
