Sociology Department
Studying society, culture, and human behavior to understand social change.
Details
A young and vibrant department established in 1962, Department of Sociology encourages comprehensive understanding of the subject among the learners by drawing linkages across all the three years of undergraduate curriculum. A judicious mix of theoretical and applied courses offered at undergraduate level provide firm foundation and knowledge not only of the subject and contemporary issues but also of a wide range of career opportunities. Anthropology is offered only in the First-year as one of the options for Compulsory Second Language (Hindi/Marathi) course to those learners who haven’t studied these languages in their lower classes.
Activities
Teaching-learning experience can never remain bound within classroom. The Department is proactive in organizing webinars, seminars, workshops, talks, documentary screenings and group presentations and discussions wherein students get exposed to diverse perspectives and sharpen their analytical and critical thinking skills. In addition, the Department organizes competitions such as poster-making, slogan making, meme-making, quiz, poetry, essay writing etc. on topics/themes/days of social relevance that brings out their creative and imaginative skills as well. We take pride in our student volunteers for their efforts and support in organizing such events.
