BA Sociology Honors in Environmental Issues

Sociology is the most interdisciplinary discipline of all the social sciences. Sociologists regularly study and contribute to History, Anthropology, Geography, Political Science, and Economics, in addition to a variety of interdisciplinary fields such as Women s Studies and Global Studies. Our methodological skills are varied, ranging from ethnography to statistical work on large databases, from discourse analysis to historical studies. Sociologists use their in-depth training, highly-developed skills, and diverse methodological tools to identify and critically analyze social phenomena, trends, and policies. They design and conduct innovative research on critical issues related to: criminology and criminal justice; political economy, poverty and globalization; race, gender, sexual, health and environmental disparities; population and migration; human values and political action.
