NEIU Sociology

NEIU Sociology Our aim is to develop students’ critical understandings of social life through the shared power of kn We constantly challenge the status quo.

The Department of Sociology offers students a world of difference. We inform action with empirical evidence. We share alternative perspectives on understanding how and why societies are structured in ways that make some groups of people succeed repeatedly, some groups stagnate indefinitely, and other groups fail miserably from one generation to the next. We expose the exploitative relations of the powerful relative to the powerless. Indeed, the Department cracks open the logic of how and why particular power-groups in society use such social institutions as the family, government, law, economy, education, media, religion, medicine, military, police, and prison to silence, divide, conquer, discriminate, oppress, criminalize, enslave, medicalize, and/or kill different groups of people, considered as “others,” at different points in time, across different societies.
