Overview
About the Department
The Department of Sociology seeks to equip students with a sound academic foundation that helps them to question critically, think logically, communicate clearly, act resourcefully, live ethically and develop an aptitude for research and analysis.
It strives to cultivate the sociological imagination that involves understanding how individual and group behaviour is shaped by society’s historical and industrial development; how personal problems are connected to public issues of social structure; and how to work collectively to improve social conditions using scientific techniques of social research.
The department moves forward with the hope that graduates will become engaged and responsible citizens capable of effective participation in professional, personal, and public affairs.
