About

Overview A "sociological imagination" helps us to see the connections between private troubles, experience individually, and public issues, experienced collectively. It also explains how individual attitudes and behaviors are distributed in patterned and predictable ways according to the position of the individual society's institutional structure. These institutions include those of economy, government, family, education, and religion.Sociologists are cross-disciplinary in their research as well as teaching. This means that they are active in related programs on campus, such as Criminal Justice Studies, Urban and Regional Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, American Studies, African and African-American Studies, Religious Studies, and Law and Society.The field of sociology has grown in scope and importance as society has grown more complex and pluralistic. The modern individual is involved in a tightly integrated, sometimes conflicting, network of social groups, families, institutions, governmental, economic, educational, and religious bodies, and specialized community organizations. Sociology studies the internal structure by which society is organized, the development and dynamics of the various groupings within it, and the influences of these upon the individual. The Sociology program of University of Michigan-Dearborn provides a focus for a general liberal education, preparation for careers in a number of areas, and grounding for advanced study in graduate and professional schools.
