Sociology @Santa Cruz
Sociology@SantaCruz seeks to pursue novel analytics that fire creative responses to contemporary social questions, including those of crisis and transformation. We take stock of the world as it is. Then, we question common sense and prevailing assumptions in order to generate new insights, imaginaries and political possibilities. Sociology@SantaCruz has a history of advancing the frontiers of the discipline while raising the banner of social justice. Join us in re-imagining sociology for a changing world.
