Sociology: A Foundation for your Future

Our students develop insights about the effects of social structures on individual lives, communities and the broader society, learning to use evidence-based practices to address complex social issues.  We emphasize a social justice perspective through research and teaching with a focus on economic inequality, gender, race/ethnicity and aging, as well as social institutions such as the family, education and work.


“The difficulty, in sociology, is to manage to think in a completely astonished and disconcerted way about things you thought you had always understood.”- Pierre Bourdieu
