DEPARTMENT of SOCIOLOGY

Research

Student directed, faculty supported. Our students call the research shots and faculty experts support their success.

At the archives doing historical research, on the street talking to people, at a newcomers’ centre analyzing program outcomes—here you learn a full range of qualitative and quantitative research methods to apply to real-world problems.
