Sociology as a discipline provides students with the conceptual and analytic tools to make sense of complex social structures in a rapidly changing global environment. Brown’s Sociology department brings together a dynamic group of scholars with international reputations for outstanding achievement in our core research areas—social demography, the sociology of health, and macrosociology.

The Department offers the BA and BS in Sociology, as well as the PhD. Through partnerships with other departments and research centers at Brown—including Population Studies, the Watson Institute and the Taubman Center—the Sociology department plays a vital role in the vibrant intellectual life of the University.
