81. Anthropology Department - Iowa State University newest departments, separating from sociology in December 1990 interests include suchthings as ethnoarchaeology America, and comparative cultural responses to http://www.iastate.edu/~anthr_info/anthropology/overview.html

Overview The Department of Anthropology has four principle missions: teaching research service and the promotion of cross-cultural and international understanding There are three distinct foci in the teaching program: For undergraduate majors, a range of topical and cross-cultural courses exists for students within the liberal arts curriculum. Anthropology offers professional preparation for students seeking a masters degree in anthropology. The program provides a breadth of exposure in various facets of anthropology for students concentrating in other fields within the university. Anthropological research at ISU has three primary objectives: Integrating research with the teaching program. Contributing to the professional development of faculty. The growth of knowledge in the discipline at large. Research is inextricably linked with the teaching process. New information, ideas, and approaches resulting from active research programs assist in making the classroom a vibrant and dynamic setting. Faculty-sponsored research activities provide undergraduate and graduate students with invaluable pre-professional experience. Professional development of faculty through research is essential in meeting the challenges of being first-rate scholars. Within Iowa State University's motto "Science with Practice," the practical applications of anthropological research at ISU can be found in such things as the cultural research management work of archaeologists and assistance in culturally appropriate application of social change techniques in various parts of the world.

9 SEMINAR/WORKSHOP CONSULTANT Donna Holling's life and her career are a testament to perseverance, determination, and a love of learning. Now retired after 25 years of government service, Donna has developed a second career as an independent consultant – trainer. In her work for the federal government, through involvement in her church, and through her children Donna has been a real pioneer in the Black and Women's movements. Because of this she is highly networked, with a positive reputation which often precedes her. The result is that work comes looking for her. In Donna's case, the relationship of career and sociology is less a matter of academic degree than it is a combination of significant life experiences and pursuit of education. The discipline is important in that it is compatible with her experiences. Sociology has provided skills, both hard and soft, which help Donna better understand her experiences. Thus while Donna's degree is a B.A. in sociology, it has had the impact of more advanced degrees. Donna's career is a classic "feel good" success story. Yet she still clung to her dream of earning a degree. She had taken some occasional coursework, but nothing in a degree track. According to Donna, "I always wanted to pursue the degree. I wanted to feel good about myself, and be able to do good for others." At this time a university in the Washington, D.C. area was offering a unique program called University Without Walls. The idea was to award credit based on life experiences and then complete a degree with formal coursework. To determine how her life experiences would translate into college credit Donna wrote a thesis on herself, her work, and observations about the world. In addition to credit the thesis served to direct her studies into the field of sociology. But why sociology?

Anthropology at Albion A nthropology is the comprehensive analysis of human diversity. It examines human evolution, biological diversity, how people throughout history have grappled with the basic problems of existence, and the infinite variety of institutions, beliefs and ways of living that have emerged from such human effort. Anthropologists seek to understand social behavior, social systems, and cultures within global contexts. Anthropology majors develop unique insight into the diversity of lifestyles in the ancient and modern world. They study why these lifeways persist and transform. Anthropology courses emphasize qualitative analytical skills and critical thinking to equip students with the social science tools needed to make perceptive observations about the world in which we live. Please visit our Faculty page to learn more about Albion's Anthropology Professors.

School Profile School Profile / Staff Profiles T he University of Nottingham is one of the oldest centres of social science education in the United Kingdom. It appointed the country's first Professor of Social Administration in 1948. Sociology was also introduced at this time, taught by the legendary WJH Sprott whose book Human Groups was read by generations of students. A separate Department of Sociology was established in 1964. Under the leadership of David Marsh, whose books on the British social structure and on the welfare state were key texts from the 1950s until the 1970s, the Department of Social Administration took a prominent role in the foundation of what is now the Social Policy Association. It also produced influential research contributions like Ken Coates' and Bill Silburn's study of the St Ann's neighbourhood in Nottingham - Poverty: the Forgotten Englishmen (1970) - which played a significant part in the "rediscovery" of the poverty thought to have been abolished by the welfare state. Students were prepared for social work practice through the Diploma in Social Work. In 1960 the department was one of the first to set up a specialized Certificate in Child Care. Shortly afterwards, it achieved Home Office recognition for the training of probation officers. The School of Social Studies was established in 1988 with the intention of offering more flexible and varied undergraduate programmes and creating an environment favourable to interdisciplinary research and postgraduate education. Based in the Social Sciences Building at the centre of the campus, we are a large department of teaching staff, administrative and support staff, research staff and full-time research students. The School was reorganized from 1 November 1997 as the School of Sociology and Social Policy, containing a Centre for Social Work.

88. Sociology - La Trobe University sociology is concerned with the study of social life and construct the social andcultural world within direction of social change (are things getting better http://www.latrobe.edu.au/socsci/sociology/w_sociology.html

About La Trobe Faculties Campuses Research ... Contacts School of Social Sciences Sociology Program Sociology is concerned with the study of social life and human behaviour - the structural arrangements and cultural patterns which shape behaviour at every level of social action, whether personal, local, national or global. It examines how we are shaped by the world around us but also how we also shape and construct the social and cultural world within which we live. This broad field of study involves the examination of social structures (distribution of power, resources and privilege across major sections of society), the analysis of social processes (the means by which social structures are reproduced and changed) patterns and direction of social change (are things getting better or worse? can we detect a direction of change?) and patterns of meaning by which we try to make sense of the world around us.

Cultural Studies What is Cultural Studies The word culture is used to describe all manner of things: sometimes this means actual products like penicillin, yoghourt or garden produce. One of its most frequent meanings is when we talk of a people and their way of life. Often it is loosely used to mean the surroundings in which something comes to flourish and the characteristics associated with it-youth culture, music culture, urban culture, technological culture, heritage culture, car culture...It seems as if the word culture can be attached to almost anything. Cultural Studies at Sussex takes a deeper look at the meanings of culture in relation to certain key concepts. By the end of the programme, you will not only understand more about the topics you have covered in your degree- you will have acquired the skills to better understand new and unfamiliar cultures for yourself. What courses will I take First Year In the Autumn term of your first year Histories of Culture introduces you to the development of the concept of culture in the West and how this has affected our ideas about civilisation and difference. Studying Culture /Cultural Studies looks at a range of different approaches to studying culture and compares the cultural studies discipline with those of art historians, anthroplogists, geographers, historians, literary and media specialists, and musicians.
