Courses
There are two broad types of sociology courses at UVic. Courses that are required within the major, minor and general programs provide a systematic grounding in the theoretical and methodological core of sociology as a social science. Other courses serve as electives, both for sociology students and for students in other programs. These electives range quite broadly across diverse social issues, including:
- Racialization, decolonization, and Indigenous resurgence
- Gender and sexuality
- Social inequality and social control
- Law and social justice
- Canadian society and globalization
- Food and ecology
- Self and identity
- Work and technology
- Health and aging
- Social problems and deviance
- Media and popular culture
- Ecology and development
- Social movements and politics
- Religion and social change
- Families and demography
If any of these topics excite you, UVic Sociology may be the place for you.
