As the year comes to a close, we would like to wish all our Sociology and Criminology students the very best for the festive season and a Happy New Year! 🎉

We’re taking a break on our social media from 20th December-2nd January, but we’ll be back in 2025 with lots to look forward to!

We were joined by a very special guest in Intimate Relationships & Personal Life today. @aliciadenby.bsky.social brought her dog Bear to deliver a lecture on Pets and Personal Life with @jennyvanhooff.com.

Bear was thrilled to make lots of new friends (as we can see by his wagging tail!) 🐶🩷
