Venue description

The missions of the Department of Sociology at Kent State University parallel those of the university itself in terms of offering instruction, conducting research and providing service. The Department offers instruction at the associate, bachelors, masters and doctoral degree levels. For undergraduates, we provide courses meeting liberal education, diversity, minor and major requirements. The department serves as a resource to the newly formed cluster in Health Sciences by providing the basis for systematic consideration and study of the social and cultural aspects of health practices, problems, and policies. These include: health behaviors, social and cultural causes and sequelae of physical and mental disease and illness, health organizations and professions, comparative health systems, and comparative sociopolitical contexts of public health.
