Dr. Hydaralli’s scholarship (teaching and research) is grounded in the analytical principles of classical sociology and its contemporary practitioners whereby it is not so much topic- or area-focused as it is method focused. That is to say, his teaching and research is directed to understanding (making-sense of) the relentless conflicts and divisions that animate collective life. Put differently, his analysis (whether in relation to teaching or research) seeks to make explicit the commitments (the unspoken views, values and beliefs) of our society as it is tacitly expressed in its ‘speech’ (in the multitude of forms in which they are expressed, tangible and intangible).

I have previously used this method of analysis to make sense of, among others, conflicts around: urban bike lanes; the right to bear arms (The Second Amendment); the ‘opioid epidemic’; the urban soundscape; allergy policies in public schools; and street vending.

Currently, I am engaged in research that aims to take shape, via case studies, in the form of a book organized around an examination (making sense) of the collective commitment to borders and separation (i.e., the various forms of ‘tribalism’ and distinctions) that animate so much of collective life.
