Courses in Sociology were first taught at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ in 1952 by Professor John Meisel in the Department of Political and Economic Science (see Economics and Political Studies). In response to rapidly growing interest in the discipline, a separate department was established in 1969.
The department offers a variety of courses on social relations and their development and change. Courses in social anthropology are also included in the department's offerings.
The department was the first at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ to offer a course in women's studies; the course Women and Social Structure was devised and offered in the early 1970s.
