Welcome from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Sociology at Florida Atlantic University.

Maybe you're a student deciding on a major, an applicant to our graduate program, or someone at a local organization looking for a research partner. Maybe you're just curious about how society works. Whoever you are, I'm glad you found us. Sociology asks how the forces of society shape our individual lives, and how people join together to push back on those forces. At FAU, we take that question into our classrooms, our research, and the communities of South Florida.
