We offer minor, major, honours, and master's programs.<br><br>As a sociologist, you will examine how society is organized and how everyday life is experienced. You can choose from among a variety of courses that focus on a range of social issues. These can be broad, such as anthropology, cultural studies, international development, and political economy. Or they can deal with addictions or criminology and deviance. You may be interested in the sociology of education or the environment. Or perhaps you want to delve into critical health and health care, disability, families, food, gender, queer studies, or race and ethnicity.<br><br>Whatever courses you choose, you will be encouraged to use your imagination and to think critically about your world. Social theories help explain why a society is organized as it is. They help us understand why we experience daily life as we do. Problems such as homelessness, addiction, or incarceration are often seen as the result of an individual's poor choices. In sociology, you will investigate the social structures and institutions that make certain groups more likely to experience such outcomes. Learning about research methods will give you the research skills to better understand social phenomena.<br><br>Addressing major social problems, such as climate change, requires collective solutions. Social movements, sociology of knowledge, and sociology of inequality are areas that help us move away from relying on individual actions and toward collective solutions.
