No two societies are exactly the same, nor are any two stories about the individuals of those societies. The College of Liberal Arts encourages you to delve into each story here about our Sociology students, alumni and faculty and contact us if you have a Temple Sociology story of your own to share. Temple students research the diverse societies of today’s world, as well as the civilizations that came before and contributed to the evolution of the communities we now inhabit. The Sociology faculty challenges students to search out answers for societal problems and to better understand the individual’s place in contemporary societies. As they study to better understand the world, follow them here to better understand them.
