Research Abstract |
Calvin Morrill joined UCI Sociology in 2001 after a previous appointment at the University of Arizona where he was Professor of Sociology, Psychology, Law, and Communication. Dr. Morrill's research focuses on broad questions about the relationships between social conflict, order, and change in organizational and urban contexts. He is particularly interested in decision making and collective action that unfold behind the scenes in private, public, and nonprofit organizations. He primarily uses qualitative fieldwork (ethnography) in his research, augmented by surveys, social network analysis, and experimental and narrative methods. He teaches courses in organization theory, qualitative field methods, organizational power and politics, law and society, social theory, youth culture and justice, and introduction to sociology. His forthcoming books include: Makin' It Work: Youth Conflict and Control in a Multiethnic Suburban High School (co-authored with Michael Musheno; University of Chicago Press) and Law and Policy in Society: Psychological and Sociological Perspectives (co-authored with Bruce Sales and Peter English; American Psychological Association Press). | |
