The research mission of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences is 1) to advance knowledge in nursing health policy and in sociology through theoretically-informed, methodologically rigorous qualitative and quantitative research; and 2) to examine the broad dynamics of health, healing, and the production of knowledge and technologies and their applications in these domains with special focus on inequalities.
