Michael Genkin serves as a Lecturer in Sociology with expertise in social network analysis and political sociology. His academic work bridges theoretical sociology with quantitative methodology to examine fundamental questions about social order, conflict, and political violence.
His research interests span multiple interconnected domains:
- Social networks and structural dynamics
- Methodological innovations in sociological research
- Political sociology with focus on violence and conflict
- Peace studies and terrorism analysis
Genkin's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to top sociology journals, with recent work focusing on network taxonomy operationalization and computational tools for social analysis. His 2022 article in Social Networks established new frameworks for measuring network dimensions, while earlier work examined organizational dynamics in American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology.
As an active researcher, Genkin has developed computational tools like Blaunet for analyzing social structures and has applied network analysis to sensitive domains including terrorism studies. His work on the Islamic State network in Europe represents an important contribution to understanding covert organizational structures.
Genkin is currently accepting PhD students for research projects in his areas of expertise, particularly focusing on social networks, political violence, peace and conflict, and terrorism studies.
