How can we better address the conflicts and inequalities in global, institutional, and personal relations? By teaching core sociological theories and methods, the Department of Sociology at Stanford instructs students how to critically evaluate human behavior and social organizations.

The department specializes in four areas of study. These include organizations, business, and the economy; social movements, comparative politics, and social change; social psychology and interpersonal processes; and social inequality. Through its strong interdisciplinary ties with other MTI programs such as, as well as its commitment to hands-on research, the department produces work that engages with social issues of our time
