The Department is committed to an
educational perspective that emphasizes how our behavior is shaped by
groups to which we belong, by the structures society creates and in
which we participate, and the social interaction in which we
engage. We also stress how we, in turn, affect the character of
social structures and society.
We encourage critical thought about and
practical appreciation of the structures of class, race and gender in
our societies. As we gain better understanding about our society,
we also learn how we can create change in these same social structures.
