A Message from the Dean of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at the University of Denver:
I am honored that the University of Denver academic divisions of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (AHSS) can participate as a co-sponsor of American Sociological Association's Denver Sexualities Conference.
The University of Denver ranks among the top 100 national universities in the United States. AHSS engages in projects as diverse as our fifteen departments and schools and multiple centers and institutes. The territory of our inquiry and expertise is vast, yet a common goal binds our liberal arts faculty and students together: our passion for the complex ways in which we humans express ourselves, organize in groups and seek understanding. Please visit us online at www.du.edu/ahss to learn more about the work that we are pioneering.
