Some sociologists are interested in macro questions in society, such as systemic inequality, poverty, and crime, and other sociologists focus on micro questions, such as understanding the various ways that we interact in smaller groups. Our variety of courses reflect the broad range of research interests and theoretical perspectives that guide sociologists in their quest to understand human social life.
