Sociology
Sociologists study human interaction and organization. The academic discipline of sociology helps students understand society and their place in it. Students also learn skills useful for analyzing topics like poverty, homelessness, divorce, urbanization, joblessness, inequality, race, class, and gender. These topics and others make up the focus of sociological investigation at Lees-McRae College.
"It is good to remember . . . that one person's ignorance is another person's advantage"
- Michael Schwalbe
Sociology at Lees-McRae College is an integral part of our learning community. At Lees-McRae, we use reading material other than traditional textbooks. Students learn to adopt the perspective of others by reading ethnographic and analytical research. Many of these books weave a sociological ‘story’ rather than the simple presentation of vocabulary, perspectives, and theories so characteristic of traditional textbooks.
