Department of Sociology Graduate Student Lab

The Sociology Lab is open to all Department of Sociology Graduate Students. The lab provides a number of useful resources for graduate research and studies. Access to the lab requires that individuals have read, signed and submitted a lab-use agreement form to Michael Goldblatt. Once a form has been submitted, a user-account will be created and the door code will be provided.

At the beginning of each academic quarter, graduate students are allotted a 350-page printing quota. If students need to print more than their quota allows, they should contact Michael Goldblatt (mgoldbla@u.washington.edu). Requests for extra pages will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
