A place to learn about and celebrate Stockton University’s Sociology & Anthropology Program (a.k.a. SOCY/ANTH or SOAN)
Sociologists and Anthropologists study human behavior in systematic ways within societies and cultures. Substantively, Stockton’s SOCY/ANTH program is particularly concerned with social justice issues such as those manifested in race/ethnicity, class, gender/sexuality, age, and globalization/imperialism. We also strongly emphasize community engagement and service-learning in both teaching and research. Our program highlights both qualitative and quantitative methods of research—for example, field methods and ethnography, interviewing, historical analysis, survey work, statistical analysis, and experimental methods.
The curriculum of the SOCY/ANTH program gives students disciplinary knowledge and competencies in analysis, critical thinking, and verbal and written communication.
These academic skills are coupled with a focus on cultivating engaged citizenship both at the university and in the community at large. We offer students opportunities to deepen their understanding of life in contemporary U.S. society and globally.
