Spring 2025 Sociology Honors Thesis Symposium

During this event, members of the 2025 Sociology Honors Thesis Program's cohort will share their year-long original research projects with a broader scholarly audience.

The Sociology Honors Thesis Program is a year-long commitment made by ambitious students majoring in the field and of senior standing, in which they develop and undertake original research under the close mentorship of faculty. During this event, we will showcase the work performed by our 2025 Honors Cohort through formal research presentations held in Seigle Hall, Room 213 with a reception to follow, celebrating the cohort's completion of the program and next steps. 

This event is open to all members of the WashU Sociology community (faculty, staff, and students) and invited guests of the presenters. It is especially encouraged for students who may be interested in undertaking a Sociology Honors Thesis in the coming years. RSVPs to sociology@wustl.edu are encouraged - especially if you have dietary restrictions or other types of requested accommodations.
