In Sociology, you'll learn about how social inequality and social power characterize the everyday social world. In small class settings, your professors will discuss how biographical troubles are connected with broader sociological factors such as social class, gender, ethnicity, race and settler colonialism. You will learn why the wider social context matters in examining and understanding many contemporary social problems such as addiction, ageism, consumerism, climate crisis, global inequality, body image issues, poverty, and cyber bullying. Sociology trains you to be open-minded, thoughtful and a pluralist in knowing the everyday social context. You will develop a range of critical, analytic, communication and computer skills that will enhance your employability while you develop an enriched understanding of the social, cultural and historical forces that have helped shape the contemporary world.
A degree in Sociology creates skilled and successful communicators (both oral and written), researchers, and analysts who can enter the working world as imaginative thinkers, with concrete technical and teamwork abilities, verbal and writing expertise, and critical thinking skills that are valued by potential employers. Within the Department of Sociology, King's offers an honours specialization (HSP), major and minor in Sociology. |
