Larsen Hall
Sociology & Anthropology
The Sociology and Anthropology Department offers an array of courses on various aspects of social life worldwide. We strive to understand humanity in all its social and cultural diversity. Our courses explore the relationship between individual experience and its broader cultural and historical contexts.
About
We regard our disciplines as liberatory enterprises: we seek to reveal the social structures, power relationships and prejudices that keep people from directing their own lives. As such, ours are value-laden disciplines. We emphasize the possibility of change in human society, rooted in the understanding that social conditions are constructed through human action.
