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.
