Welcome to the Department of Sociology!

The Department of Sociology is a vibrant hub of intellectual inquiry, critical thinking, and social engagement. Rooted in the traditions of sociology, our department is dedicated to understanding the complex dynamics of human society and addressing pressing social issues through rigorous research, teaching, and community outreach.

Students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on research projects, internships, and community-based learning experiences that bridge the gap between theory and practice. Our department also hosts seminars, workshops, and public lectures featuring leading scholars, activists, and policymakers who are shaping the future of sociology.

Whether you’re passionate about understanding social movements, fascinated by the dynamics of cultural change, or committed to fighting inequality, the Department of Sociology welcomes you to join us in exploring the complexities of human society and working towards a more just and equitable world.
