Fonds 0081 - University of Toronto. Department of Sociology fonds

Established in 1963 under the leadership of S.D. Clark, the Department offers courses to more than 5,000 undergraduate students and 100 graduate students.
Several prominent sociologists have taught at the University of Toronto since its early years, including Charles Tilly, Seymour Martin Lipset and Dennis Wrong. Another eminent sociologist, Erving Goffman, did his undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. Today, no Department has more graduates in tenured positions in Canadian research-intensive universities. Moreover, many of our graduates have had a significant impact in the public and private sector, including Lorna Marsden (former member of the Senate of Canada and President of Wilfrid Laurier and York Universities), Michael Adams and Donna Dasko (Environics pollsters), Alex Himelfarb (former Clerk of the Privy Council) and Daniel Hill (the first full-time director of the Ontario Human Rights Commission and former Ontario Ombudsman).
