Welcome

This guide will provides you with resources for conducting research in Sociology.

As you do your research it's important for you to remember that your professors instructions:

"your research is sociological, not psychological, historical, or simply descriptive. You will answer where, what, and how - but also why. This is your opportunity to really use the sociological perspective that you have been developing during the last three or four years to analyze a particular topic. Use sociological sources."
