Research
Faculty members in the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Memorial conduct research in many different areas. Here you’ll find some of Canada’s leading researchers in fields such as social inequality, global health, environment and society, sociology of knowledge and science, migration, gender, social networks, culture, and more.
We’re dedicated to contributing to the study of societies and our specific fields using a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives, and communicate our research and expertise through professional publications and other academic and popular media; scholarly conferences, panels, and public events; and to students through undergraduate and graduate teaching, mentoring, and supervision. The quality, originality, and importance of the research conducted by Memorial sociologists and criminologists are reflected in the department’s excellent record in securing national and international research funding, and the awards and honours that many faculty members hold.
