Tufts University - Department of Sociology

Tufts University - Department of Sociology Welcome to the page of the Department of Sociology at Tufts University! Visit us in Eaton Hall Room 102B.

This page is for our current students, alumni, and future students, as well as those interested in Sociology, to learn more about the subject, its study, our events, opportunities, and to engage the sociological imagination beyond the classroom. Sociology is the systematic study of social institutions, social inequalities, and social and cultural identities. Sociology studies how social structures

shape human behaviors, social categories, and social meanings. Sociology also studies how behavior (agency) in turn constructs social structure. Institutions include media and culture, health and medicine, education, the military, organizations, urban environments, law, and more. Areas of study include group identities as well as social inequalities such as race, immigration, class, gender, and globalization. Sociology students learn how to critically examine and analyze social structure and culture; how social and cultural constructs such as gender, race, and class influence people’s lives; and how people change society by forming social movements and using the media.
