We celebrated the accomplishments of the 2019 cohort of sociology majors at the annual Sociology BA Thesis Symposium on Thursday May 30th, 2019. Students presented their original research, which spanned a range of topics from the social factors associated with undetected HIV infection to the relationship between racial identity and participation in hip hop culture. Award winners included Marissa Combs’ for her thesis “Moral Apprenticeship: Free School Ideology Embodied In Conflict Resolution Strategies,” and Abe Friedman for his thesis, “Navigating Police Work In The Age Of Body-Worn Cameras,” We concluded the event with a festive reception where the audience congratulated the presenters over drinks and tacos. We are so proud of the achievements of our 4th years and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
