| Sociologists are interested in how society “works” and in how people function within the organization of social life. The emphasis on the connection between individual behavior and the social context, whether the context is a small group or a larger institutional setting, is a defining ingredient of the sociological perspective. From its very beginning, the field of sociology has been concerned with urban life, the forces of social change, and with understanding and addressing social problems. Our department reflects these longstanding interests. Through our undergraduate and graduate programs of study, an engaged and accessible faculty, and opportunities for internships in metropolitan Boston, our goal is to advance the understanding of local and global social conditions and to assist students in finding a career direction. |
