Welcome to the 2021 Sociology Undergraduate Research Competition! (SURC)

Theme: “Reviving Our Sociological Imagination”

 

This year’s competition will look different from previous years as we continue to address the changing conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here’s what you can expect!

 

  1. Instead of a series of presentations in a live Zoom session, this space will allow students to submit their research projects and facilitate community voting!
  2. In addition to submitting a research project, this year students can also submit a proposal to the Imagine BC competition.
  3. Prizes TBD. Stay tuned!
