Department Newsletter

The Department of Sociology celebrated its 50th Anniversary on Wednesday, September 14th, 2011 with a public lecture by Professor John Hagan entitled, “How we Remember to Forget: Canada and America’s Forever Wars.”   Professor Hagan received his PhD from the Sociology Department in 1974 and is currently John D. MacArthur Professor of Sociology and Law at Northwestern University, and Co-Director of the Center on Law & Globalization at the American Bar Foundation.

Please peruse our special edition 50th Anniversary Department Newsletter below.  It profiles some of the department’s rich history and, as a newsletter should, also focuses on the interesting and innovative activities of department members over the past year.  We trust you will enjoy what you read, and will make a point of staying in touch with the department.

Are you an alumni of the department?  Do you know the whereabouts of other graduates from our programs?  If so, we would like to hear from you.  Please contact Cristeen Whalen at cristeen@ualberta.ca to be added to our circulation list and/or to provide us with an update on your career path and successes.
