Introduction
The Department of Sociology has been in operation since the University opened in 1964. Building on a common core of required courses in theory and method, the sociology program at Trent offers two main concentrations: 1) social structures and social policies, in areas such as social inequality, families, health, and criminal justice, and 2) social interaction and culture, in areas such as religion, media studies, and ethnic and sexual identities. (taken from the Department of Sociology internet set, September 14, 1998)
Records were forwarded from the Department of Sociology to the Archives in 1981 and from faculty members in later years.
