This program is defined by three broad themes: knowledge and power, social justice, and the Sociology of everyday life. Sociology at Acadia University is recognized nationally for offering critical studies in: race and ethnic relations, social justice, food, health, gender and sexuality, research methodology and ethics, social theory, development, labour and migration, political economy, criminology and culture. We emphasize a commitment to public sociology and transformative practices, and students are offered an opportunity to develop their conceptual and analytical skills in order to prepare for further studies and professional opportunities.
Sociology courses and degrees are relevant to those planning careers in: academics, education, law, politics, public policy, health, environmental studies, community development, criminology, or social work.
