Sociology

Classification: Minor
Degree:

Anthropology and sociology examine humanity from global systems to interpersonal interaction. These sister disciplines help us to understand social structures and individual roles within them, the effects of colonialism on colonies and colonial powers, oppression and privilege, imperialism and self-determination and local responses to global conditions.
