Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, & Access

IDEA Statement

The Department of Sociology and Social Work are committed to promoting an inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible environment for faculty, staff, and students. We foster a respect for all people, including those from various races, ethnicities, ages, gender and sexual identities, socioeconomic statuses, religions, mental and physical abilities, and others in historically underrepresented groups. Our faculty are committed to challenging structural barriers and providing ways to address structural inequities through research and course instruction.
