Associate Professor of Sociology
Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1998
Dr. Mirchandani's research explores the interrelationship between sociological theory and sociological research. She has completed
work on the changing ways that the discipline of sociology uses postmodern theories and concepts to assess actual empirical
changes in late capitalism. Presently, she is engaged in a project exploring how the critical social theoretical characterizations
of the modern state as technocratic, patriarchal and therapeutic are simultaneously reflected and transformed in problem solving,
specialized courts, like domestic violence courts.
