Sourabh Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the Florida State University, Tallahassee. He specializes in the areas of Political Sociology, Sociological Theory, Comparative and Historical Sociology, and Culture. His work has been published in Sociological Theory, Theory and Society, Philosophy of Social Sciences, Journal of the Theory of Social Behavior, and Journal of Critical Realism. He teaches courses on Sociological Theory and Political Sociology.
My primary research interest is in studying the changing relation between objective social structures and subjective point of view. I have developed new insights on how the two reproduce and transform each other by studying the history of changing political structure and political elite’s subjectivity in India during the 1919-1984 period. I am currently engaged with meta-theoretical debates on the ontological assumptions and epistemological strategies for conducting sociological analysis. In my forthcoming work on state, politics, and social movements in India, I aim to empirically demonstrate the relevance of engaging with these debates in order to develop a deeper and more precise comprehension of the relation between social actors’ subjective point of view and structural conditions of their world.

​
I am fascinated by the unique nature of the social world, which is simultaneously objective and socially constructed. If the social world is indeed socially constructed, then when and why do we begin to believe in it as if it were independent of our subjective perception? Is the subjectively perceived world an epiphenomenon of the underlying forces that remain invisible to immediate perception? Or is it an emergent reality, which – despite being created by the relations among multiple social forces – is driven by its own internal logic?  These are the kinds of theoretical questions that I am trying to answer through my research work on the history of Indian politics.
