The Loyola Department of History launched its Documentary and Oral History Studio in the fall of 2012, combining the rigorous methodology of oral history with the stylistic considerations and visual storytelling techniques of documentary filmmaking. In 2022, after substantial growth, the project was reimagined and turned into the Digital Humanities Studio.

“I’m fundamentally a hopeful person, because I know that decisions made the world as it is and that better decisions can change it. Nothing about our situation is inevitable or immutable, but you can’t solve a problem with the consciousness that created it.”

― Heather McGhee, The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together

Sociology is the scientific study of society and human behavior. Sociologists study patterns of interaction among people with an emphasis on how their beliefs and actions are influenced by various groups, institutions, and the broader societal forces of contemporary life.

The Department of Sociology teaches students to look at things in new ways and from the perspectives of different cultures, values, and beliefs. Students develop flexibility, objectivity, awareness, and problem-solving skills essential to understanding and adapting to a rapidly changing global environment.
