Austin Peay State University Department of Sociology

Austin Peay State University Department of Sociology The Sociology classes at Austin Peay are small enough that faculty members are able to give students personal attention to help them succeed.

Our graduates have been successful at being admitted to graduate programs at schools such as Vanderbilt University and The University of Tennessee-Knoxville. The department sponsors an active Sociology Club, which helps the majors and minors to become better acquainted and to participate in service and recreational activities. A wide variety of career options are open to sociology majors. They can

secure jobs in social work and social services, law enforcement, teaching, the ministry, social research and in management positions in private companies.

Provost Lecture Series: Exploring adoptive, foster parenting
11/4/2011
Popular rhetoric often promotes the idea that to foster or adopt a child, “all you need is love.”

“In actuality, adoptive and foster parents need much more than love,” said Dr. Katherin Flower, assistant professor of sociology at Austin Peay State University. “In fact, there are no uniform criteria for becoming foster or adoptive parents. Instead, a complex set of federal, state and local policies as well as agency specific mandates establish the criteria for approving parents.”

Flower will discuss this topic in more detail as part of the next Provost Lecture Series. She will present “Creating a Family: An Analysis of the Standards for Foster and Adoptive Parents” from 3-4:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 10 in the Morgan University Center, Room 303. All presentations in the Provost Lecture Series are free and open to the public.

Three of Flower’s students – Jessica Wilson, Jessica Patmore and Olivia Ames – assisted Flower during the fall semester with this project.
