Sociology (MA)
From the family unit to the global stage, how did we develop the societies we live in?
Our Masters of Arts program is distinct in its focus on applied social research with an emphasis on social justice.
By “applied” we mean research that focuses on current societal concerns and with a view to problem-solving, or more generally, research that has some practical utility. By “social-justice” we mean research that promotes social equality and people’s democratic right to participate in decisions that affect their own and other’s well-being.
