Sociology at Trent provides students with a tool kit of theories, research skills, and factual information to enable them to think critically about the changing social conditions they are living through, and about the efforts of people to direct that change. Building on a common core of required courses in theory and research methods, Sociology at Trent offers a wide range of courses in topics such as social inequality, culture, deviance, criminal justice, gender and sexuality, work, migration, race and ethnicity, health and illness, aging, and health care.
