Congratulations to Jessica Chapman, Norwich Free Academy social studies teacher and UConn Early College Experience (ECE) sociology instructor, on winning the annual Milken Educator Award!

Congratulations to Sociology Ph.D. alum Angie Beeman on her recent commentary article, "University Policies Have Not Kept Up with 'Everyday Racism'". The University World News article criticizes the reactionary approach to racism that many universities have implemented, citing that this approach fosters an unsafe, ignorant environment for university community members of color.

Expand Your Career Options is a series of events featuring graduate degree level alum panelists who pursue their careers in various fields. It occurs every semester and is created with doctoral students and postdoc scholars in mind. The event series originated from a commitment that recognizes all graduate students do not go into academia, so we seek to normalize that individuals go into, and succeed in, a range of careers.

Please see this news post for a list of all Sociology Graduate courses being offered this semester.
