Don Tomaskovic-Devey is a professor of sociology and the current chair of the Department of Sociology. He studies processes of workplace inequality, particularly discrimination and segregation, as well as topics in economic sociology more generally. His long-term agenda is to work with others to move sociological studies of inequality to a more fully relational and organizational stance.  He is advancing this agenda through studies of jobs and workplaces, as well as social relationships between jobs within workplaces and the social relationships that link organizations to each other.
