The Department of Sociology and Anthropology
at  Rutgers University in Newark is a small, dynamic
collection of real individuals, equally dedicated to
the pursuit of scholarship and excellence in teaching.

Our students are primarily undergraduates of extremely
diverse backgrounds, although members of the faculty
also participate in several graduate programs. While the
department is made up of  Sociologists and Anthropologists,
our interests are multidisciplinary. Topics investigated by
the department members include, but are by no means limited to,
Native Peoples of North and South America, Sociological Theory,
Genocide, Social Movements, Urban Immigration, India, Riots, Globalization,
War, Solitude, Ethnicity, Urban Archaeology, Southeast Asia, Race, the New York Police, Social History, Comparative Delinquency, Anthropological Film and Video, Puerto Rico, Education, Gangs, Modernism, and much more.

It is a friendly department, where big school scholarship combines with small school personal attention and care.
