At the graduate level, Abbott has taught "Sociological Inquiry," "Formal Methods for Narrative Analysis," "Time and Social Structure," and a dissertation proposal-writing seminar. For several years he has taught a graduate seminar of major readings in the winter quarter, covering topics that change each year.
