This program is defined by three broad themes: knowledge and power, social justice, and the Sociology of everyday life. Sociology at Acadia University is recognized nationally for offering critical studies in: race and ethnic relations, social justice, food, health, gender and sexuality, research methodology and ethics, social theory, development, labour and migration, political economy, criminology and culture. We emphasize a commitment to public sociology and transformative practices, and students are offered an opportunity to develop their conceptual and analytical skills in order to prepare for further studies and professional opportunities.
