Eric Wright, Chair
Desmond Goss, Undergraduate Director

We are a leading sociology department with a history of excellence in scholarly research, undergraduate education, graduate training, and community engagement.

Through innovative scholarship, teaching and community service, we craft, translate, and disseminate sociological knowledge to foster social justice. We specialize in promoting deeper public understanding of global, urban, and community inequalities related to social class, race, gender, sexuality, aging, education, and health.
