Welcome to Sociology and Anthropology

Join us in the pursuit of knowledge and the acquisition of the critical analytical skills needed to understand our complex world.

The Department of Sociology and Anthropology's undergraduate and graduate programs offer solid foundations for a wide variety of careers, from public service employment to international development work, as well as preparation for academic careers.

Our faculty use sociological and anthropological lenses to explore contemporary questions and debates within Canadian and international contexts, including environment and resource use, food, agriculture, labour and work, youth and homelessness, Indigenous issues, police and society, and social movements in developing countries.
