What are the forces that shape who we are and what we can do?  Why do communities and societies have particular structures and cultures across places and times?  How do power, inequality, and justice interact to shape the modern world?  These are some of the many important questions that we ask in Sociology and Anthropology.  We use various theories and methods provide a critical lens and tools to ask and answer questions.

In our courses and mentoring, we pass on these tools to our students, so that they can ask and answer questions not only about the worlds they live in, but also about themselves.  Our primary goal is to help our students grow through learning analysis, argument, critique, and empathy.  This provides our students with a wide range of skills, knowledge, and experiences that open the doors to various different kinds of careers.
