Prof. Joel Stillerman receives a Fulbright Scholar award
Prof. Joel Stillerman will conduct research and co-teach a doctoral class on economic sociology at the Universidad Central de Chile this fall.
The Sociology Department at GVSU is a community of critical scholars who analyze the context of social interaction and the construction of difference in society. Sociology is the study and understanding of human interaction, how society effects individuals and how individuals effect society. We offer two majors—a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree that emphasizes research and data analysis, and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) that emphasizes foreign language skills and the humanities. We also offer a minor program that fits well with nearly any major.
Whichever major or minor program in Sociology you choose, we study the family, schools, peer groups, environment, gender, ethnicity, politics, economics, popular culture, sustainability, religion, life course, and other substantive areas. Wherever people interact and whatever they create, all the good and the bad of life and the stuff in between, that is the science of sociology.
The Sociology Department is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
