Minor in Sociology and Anthropology
Minor Adviser: Paul Grebinger
This minor in sociology and anthropology examines the changing interrelations between work, technology, and culture
in different nations across the globe. With the globalization of the work force, our trade, production, and
social interactions have become increasingly marked by differences in gender, class, racial, and ethnic identities.
The courses offered by the minor analyze the global and local worlds of work, how social relations are shaped by
technology and culture, and how global trends are transforming our lives.

Minor in Urban and Community Studies
Minor adviser: Paul Grebinger
The Urban and Community Studies Minor concerns the interplay between urban issues and urban policy. Every metropolitan area must address such perennial issues as housing, transportation, education, crime, safety, recreation and economic development. Each community must do so with understanding of its unique social mix and neighborhood relations and with recognition of its place in wider regional, national and global networks. This minor helps prepare students to identify and analyze central issues and social problems of urbanization and to explore and assess various ways decision-makers respond to these issues.
