Overview

At Colorado College, the Southwest Studies faculty is a community of teacher-scholars and practitioners, each of whom is committed to students' intellectual development and the practice of sociology in service of social justice. The scope of the department's curriculum is quite broad, ranging from the study of social identities and interactions to the organization and function of domestic and global social institutions and structures.

Key Facts

Across its curriculum, the department maintains a primary concern with social inequality - its various forms, structures, and processes of social reproduction - as well as with how sociology can inform efforts to bring about a more just society.

The sociology major is carefully designed to facilitate students' mastery of key sociological habits of thought, concepts, theoretical frameworks, and competencies relating to the practice of sociology and its application in the broader world. Anchoring the curriculum are required courses in social theory, research design and methods, and a senior capstone project.
