Research
Dr. Hinze's interests lie primarily in medical sociology, social inequality and the emerging work/family or work/ life nexus. Most of her research has been on physicians. As a "doctor-watcher," she has used quantitative and qualitative methodologies to examine (broadly) medical culture. She has studied and written about gender differences in medical specialty choice, links between family life and the career paths and patterns of physicians, sexual harassment in medical training, and how women and men "do gender" and family in medical marriages. At the heart of her work is a focus on how individual choices can only be understood within the context of gendered social structural arrangements.
Dr. Hinze has also researched the social construction of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and, with colleagues in the medical school, racial/ethnic disparities in medical care. Her newest project is on the medicalization of “technological” addictions. Along with three graduate students (Michael Flatt, Robert Peterson, and Christine Schneider), she is collecting data on the gaming culture of college students with an eye toward how social, institutional, structural and cultural dynamics shape gaming behaviors.
Finally, Dr. Hinze is setting the stage for a new project on how parental work in a 24/7 global economy influences the daily, lived experiences of children.
Her primary teaching goal is to spark a "sociological imagination" in her students, so they understand how their immediate experiences are shaped by larger social and historical forces. She practices an engaged pedagogy, which recognizes that students learn best when they are actively engaged on intellectual, emotional and social levels (see Class Acts). Her teaching interests are varied, but favorite courses include Introduction to Sociology, Social Inequality, Medical Sociology, Women in Development, Work and Family and "From the Internet to Fetal Surgery: Gendered Technologies and Social Change." She has served as Director of Undergraduate Studies in Sociology, as a Sages first year seminarian/advisor, and is actively involved in the Women’s Studies program.
She is currently serving as the Associate Director of Graduate Studies in Sociology.
