Economic Sociology Preliminary Examination – Reading List - May 2006 Instructions Each student taking this qualifying examination is expected to be familiar with the “core” readings in each of the following seven sections. In addition, each student should choose two of the sections to study in greater depth. Coverage of the readings labeled as “In-Depth Readings” is sufficient to satisfy this requirement, although the student is free to read in the chosen areas beyond the readings on the list, and is encouraged to seek out faculty guidance when designing a program of reading.
