Winter 2024 NewsletterStudents have settled back in on campus after a well-deserved break, the spring term is well underway, and the 3rd floor of Uris Hall is buzzing. As the days grow longer, (and here and there begin to feel slightly warmer), we embark on yet another exciting semester within the vibrant academic community of Cornell's Sociology Department. This winter newsletter provides you a glimpse into what has taken place in the Sociology Department this past fall and summer (since the summer '23 newsletter). The spring term promises stimulating courses, engaging discussions, and countless opportunities for growth and exploration. Dedicated faculty members have been hard at work preparing innovative and thought-provoking curriculum, designed to challenge and inspire our students. This semester's courses delve into the field's latest research, spanning social and urban inequality, big data, the computerization of the American social system, nationalism and identity, contemporary sociological theory, mass incarceration, and much more. Students, faculty, and staff, we wish you all the best for the spring term ahead; may it be a time of growth, discovery, and fulfillment. Alumni of Cornell Sociology, thank you for tuning in! We are always eager to write where-they're-at-now spotlight stories, so please do not hesitate to reach out and reconnect with the Department. All the best, The Sociology Department Communications Team (News stories and information relevant to the Department and future newsletters should be sent to Carrie D'Aprix, the Communications and Programming Assistant, at cmd294@cornell.edu--Thank you!)
