Department of Sociology
Wellesley College
Presentations, Conferences and Awards
Much of sociology consists of discussion and debate about research. As an undergraduate there are a number of ways you can take part in this exchange of ideas. The Department will keep majors informed about student conferences and contests to which you can submit papers. Also, if you would like to publicly present some work you have done, or perhaps share your off-campus study experiences with the Wellesley community, talk to the chair of the department about setting up a special colloquium. Take the plunge!

Wellesley College has initiated two programs to support student travel to conferences and student research with faculty members. Students who wish to apply for one of these grants should fill out an application form, available in the Office of the Dean of the College or on the CWIS.

In addition, the department offers the Alpha Kappa Delta award for an outstanding senior in sociology. This prize is awarded at graduation.
