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. Our research and teaching focuses on the economy,
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
