Department of Sociology

Dear Alumni and Friends:

Greetings!

The end of the 2011-12 academic year is approaching, and Sociology is engaged in the activities that mark the last full month of term: final weeks of classes (of course); lectures; bringing theses and dissertations to completion, and the general scramble of ceremonies that close out every academic year. The department continues to move from strength to strength.

I'm happy to say that the Sociology department's new quarters are working out beautifully. Faculty and some core staff are now located in the newly refurbished 493 College, a beautiful building in the heart of campus, while our Centers and their staff, our graduate students, post docs and visitors occupy two impressive adjoining houses down the road, close by the Yale Whale, at 204 and 210 Prospect Street.

Ultimately the department will locate somewhere where we can all be together in one place, but meanwhile, amidst Yale's ongoing construction projects, we count ourselves very lucky to be in such excellent surroundings.

We'd be delighted to hear more of your doings. Please consider sending your news and contact information to Kim Kuzina at Kimberly.kuzina@yale.edu. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

Julia Adams
Professor of Sociology and in International and Area Studies
Chair, Sociology Department
