The Department of Sociology is one of the first departments under the then University of College of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, now University of Zimbabwe. The first head was Professor Clyde Mitchell, who later was given a Chair at Oxford University. Housing Sociology and Anthropology, the Department, boasts of giving birth to the Centre for Applied Social Sciences (CASS) and Population Studies, which are now prominent on their own. Former members of staff and former students have gone on to start similar Departments in State and Private Universities in and outside the country. See Also: University of Zimbabwe Intake.
