What it is	Sociology is the study of how people live together in groups — families, communities, workplaces, societies — and why social patterns form the way they do. You'll examine real issues like inequality, culture, institutions, and human behaviour through research and theory. It suits people curious about why societies work as they do and interested in understanding social change.	You study how power, politics, and social systems shape gender and women's experiences, combining feminist theory with political analysis. Unlike a straight political science program, you examine how gender operates across institutions, law, and society rather than treating it as a side topic. This suits you if you're interested in social justice, policy work, or understanding how political systems affect different groups.	A four-year program that examines gender roles, power dynamics, and women's experiences across history, culture, and society using theories from sociology, social work, and other disciplines. Unlike a straight sociology degree, this program centres feminist analysis as its core lens and often includes applied work placements through co-op. It suits students interested in understanding social inequality, policy, or community work through a gender-focused framework.
