The qual vs quant divide in sociology is it still a thing? I'm a first year soc PhD student and I keep hearing from older students that there's this huge methodological divide in the discipline. Like apparently in some departments the qual and quant people barely talk to each other?? My program pushes mixed methods pretty hard and most of the faculty seem at least competent in both, but I've heard horror stories about departments where your advisor's methodological camp basically determines your entire career trajectory. Is this still a real thing in 2026 or is it mostly a generational hangover? I do ethnography but I also took stats in undergrad and don't see why I should have to "pick a side."
