Department Profile

The Department of Sociology is a relatively young department in Loreto College, introduced from the academic year 2017-18. The Department aims to introduce students to ‘Sociological Imagination’ and helps delineate between Sociological knowledge and commonsensical understanding. Apart from an introduction to Sociology, other papers offered by the Department cover Sociology in India, various Sociological Theories and the study of research methodology. The Department promotes both creative and critical thinking; and encourages analysis of issues and experiences of individuals and groups in diverse social interactions. Students are encouraged to engage in dialogues and debate about various social issues.

At present, the department offers only Elective Sociology papers to students under the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) under the University of Calcutta.

Sociology as a subject is relevant for students across disciplines. Various seminars and workshops are organized by the Department of Sociology to expand student’s scope of knowledge, increase reflexivity and its applicability in everyday life.
