A short description of Sociology
Sociology studies all aspects of the life related to the fact that humans live in groups. These groups range from intimate relationships between individuals, through to impersonal forces that operate on national and global levels. Issues related to health and illness, crime and deviance, popular culture, social change, economy and society, schooling, social inequality, prejudice and discrimination are just some of the topics analyzed in our courses.
What is Sociology
Explore the ideas and insights of the founders of sociology as well as those of contemporary thinkers who examine our present-day social life. Master the essentials of social research – how to design questionnaires, conduct effective interviews, and carry out meaningful surveys. Lakehead’s accomplished faculty are engaged in research in areas as diverse as health and illness, gerontology, cultural analysis, social theory, and social change and development.
Careers in Sociology
Sociology is an ideal major for students planning to enter professions such as: social work, law, journalism and even medicine. Many graduates will decide to go into teaching or career counselling, while others enter careers in government, correctional services, community services and business.
