Sociology and anthropology at Manhattanville aim
to develop a critical awareness of the relationship between the individual
and the larger society in an historical context. Courses are designed
to enhance personal development by examining the major social forces that
influence our lives. By understanding the social roots of personal
concerns and social issues, we are better able to participate in
constructing a more just society and world community.
While the emphasis in the department is academic, the department prepares
its students for careers in law, criminal justice, teaching, social work,
business management, social research, communications, and social action, as
well as for graduate study in the social sciences. Courses in social
class, race and gender relations, globalization and development, social
conflict, crime and punishment, science and technology, mass media, family,
sports, and education are rooted in both historical and contemporary
research on social issues. |
