At the heart of sociology and anthropology lies an interest in understanding the ways in which group membership, cultural context and social hierarchies affect people's lived experiences and world views. The Department's offerings combine sociology's focus on contemporary social issues and the ways that power impacts social dynamics with anthropology's interests in culture and human diversity.
