Sociology and Anthropology

Mission Statement

The Sociology and Anthropology Department offers a broad array of courses on various aspects of social life worldwide.

  • We regard our disciplines as liberatory enterprises: we seek to free peoples from the social structures and prejudices that keep them from directing their own lives. As such, ours are value-laden disciplines.
  • At the same time, we believe that human liberation is impossible without clear, scientific analysis of the social problems and processes that keep people unfree. We thus approach our subject matter with the objectivity of scientists.

Our program thus combines passion and dispassion into a whole that we believe gives our students a well-rounded liberal arts education.
