The minor in sociology and anthropology examines the changing interrelations among work, technology, and culture in different nations across the globe. With the globalization of the workforce, trade, and production, social interactions have become increasingly marked by differences in gender, class, racial, and ethnic identities. Courses 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.
