“The fascination of sociology lies in the fact that its perspective makes us see in a new light the very world in which we have lived all our lives.” – Peter Berger
The Department of Sociology administers three programs: the sociology major, the justice studies major and the gerontology minor. Because of considerable overlap in course requirements across the sociology, justice studies and gerontology curricula, many students are able to pursue a double major or combine a major in one program with a minor in another.
RIC faculty are encouraged to use and compose more open textbooks for their courses.
The NSC fellowship provides BIPOC faculty with a nurturing and supportive community while they engage in professional development.
