Judith Herb College of Arts, Social Sciences and Education

Sociology is the study of societies and all that happens within them. We are particularly interested in the institutions people create and the relationships they forge with each other. In our rapidly changing world, those institutions and relationships can maintain stability and continuity in communities – but also injustice and inequality. In other words, we study people; and we try to understand how all of us are changing with our times. We hope that a better understanding of how humans interact with each other will lead to more just and tolerant societies.
