Giving to the Department of Sociology

The Department of Sociology deeply appreciates the generous gifts made by its alumni and friends. Your contributions directly support our department by enhancing educational opportunities for our students and both research and instructional resources for our faculty. With your help, we can continue our standards of excellence in the following areas: 

• Visiting speakers 
• Capstone seminars 
• Doctoral fellowships 
• Research and dissertation support grants 
• Graduate student publication and data collection awards 
• Graduate student recruitment 
• Travel to academic conferences for graduate students 
• The Lawrence Carter Graduate Student Research Award 
• The Charles W. Hunt Graduate Student Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching 
• The Joan Acker Graduate Fellowship 

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of UO Sociology, we are excited to announce the creation of a new fund for graduate student support, the Critical Sociology Doctoral Research fund. Our goal is to establish a new graduate research award for the students in our department pursuing compelling areas of investigation which expand upon and contribute to the department’s mission of developing thinkers, leaders, and innovators to benefit society and the planet. 

If you would like to contribute to our department’s general fund, or to the critical sociology student support fund, you may donate by credit card through the University of Oregon Foundation. If you would prefer, you may mail a check payable to the University of Oregon Foundation to the address below. Please include a note specifying that the gift is for the Department of Sociology, and indicate if you intend your gift for the general fund or for critical sociology.

We appreciate your interest and support! A lasting legacy of critical sociology at the University of Oregon would not be possible without the generous gifts of our alumni and friends.

Territorial Acknowledgment

The University of Oregon is located on Kalapuya Ilihi, the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people. Following treaties between 1851 and 1855, Kalapuya people were dispossessed of their indigenous homeland by the United States government and forcibly removed to the Coast Reservation in Western Oregon. Today, descendants are citizens of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians of Oregon, and continue to make important contributions in their communities, at UO, and across the land we now refer to as Oregon.*

We express our respect for all federally recognized Tribal Nations of Oregon. This includes the Burns Paiute Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the Coquille Indian Tribe, the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, and the Klamath Tribes.  We also express our respect for all other displaced Indigenous peoples who call Oregon home.
