Sociology is the study of society. Okay. We get that. But what is it about society that Sociologists study? What is society anyway? Bewildered? Indeed, Sociology has baffled many of us. To help us understand better what sociology is, NTUSS is proud to organize a
Sociology Awareness Week.
In this sociology-packed week, we will hold exhibitions, conduct film-screenings, and invite faculty members to give talks. We will also distribute the socitees on the first day of this event and invite those who have purchased the tees to put them on during this three-day period.
Do look for our booth outside Canteen A on 16th-18th February 2009. Meanwhile, stay tuned as we will release the full event details soon. :D
