The Department of Sociology at Emory is a vigorous community of scholars who engage in cutting-edge research, take pride in excellent teaching, and actively contribute to the University and wider community. We focus on four core areas in the discipline:
Culture
Health
Social Psychology
Social Inequality
Faculty members also actively examine links across these areas. These core emphases help us to address broader public issues such as race and difference, impact of media, and health inequalities. Through these foci, our department bridges to other fields and units, including the Rollins School of Public Health, the James Weldon Johnson Institute for Race and Difference, and Candler School of Theology.
