Dr. Mary J. Gallant

Sociology Faculty Rowan University

Mary J. Gallant is an associate professor of Sociology at Rowan University since 1992. She teaches classical social theory in the core of the sociology major. From 20072012 she served as chair of Sociology and from 2013-2015 as chair of the combined department of Sociology and Anthropology. Dr. Gallant earned her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Minnesota in 1985.

Dr. Gallant’s research in the professions and social network analysis updates earlier research on medical school socialization. In 2013, she wrote her first book in this area, “Friendship Networks in Medical School: A Network Analytic Approach to the Study of Social Solidarity.” In 2018, she prepared for new research with an article under review in one of sociology’s mainstream journals. The focus now is on the role of social support from medical student social networks. This research is expected to confirm our knowledge of the importance of informal relationships to medical student success.

In the second part of her research agenda on Holocaust and genocide, Dr. Gallant continues to focus on conflict worldwide and the role of international relations in law and world trade in the aftermath of conflagration. The Holocaust was a turning point in the lives of millions of European Jews and in the post-Holocaust years vitalizes helpful intervention to end genocide. In 2002, Dr. Gallant published her first book in this area, “Coming of Age in the Holocaust: The Last Survivors Remember” and is working on a new edition and will prepare presentations for two international conferences, the first on tikkun olam in the aftermath of the 1990s genocide in the former Yugoslavia and the other on the present human rights approach to genocide and healing.

How did you get started in your field/ industry?

My mentor, Dr. Robert W. Habenstein, famously helped some of our leading sociologists get their careers underway. My undergraduate work received high praise and I completed a Masters with a fellowship in the area of family, kinship and community in the North Atlantic. His own training at the University of Chicago connected me to his colleague Dr. Gregory Prentiss Stone, and after Dr. Stone’s untimely death, Dr. Joseph J. Galaskiewicz, --both were then at the University of Minnesota where I completed my PhD.

What are some of the biggest challenges/obstacles you faced in your career?

Throughout my career I have been aware that women are up against a different pattern of irrationalities of prejudice and detraction, envy and hatred than male colleagues. Gender scripts that guide our lives in many areas still need to be fine-tuned to make career paths smooth. In the worst of times, finding surprising alliances were as important as self-discipline and critical self-examination to gaining the higher ground.

What is some advice that has helped you juggle your career and family life successfully?

Stay organized. Learn to laugh and love life together. Always encourage the best in everyone with whom you work.

What do you feel are some of the biggest challenges that women face today?

Women have overcome a lack of social support in career goals and follow-through. Often, having a supportive social and fiscal infrastructure for career goals is out of their reach.

What advice would you give to women starting out in your industry?

Integrity and ethics matter. Respecting the dignity of the other is very important and as an academic, I teach this to my students. Especially when the going gets tough, keep a realistic sense of humor, an ability to think clearly and strategically, and, carry a great vocabulary!

Name one outstanding quality that you think people should know about you or remember you by.

Hope and hard work. Miracles happen; be ready when they come.
