Social TheoryMinor

This interdisciplinary Minor draws from Sociology, International Studies and English Literature to offer students a taste of a wide range of philosophical and theoretical questions. Touching upon issues such as gender, culture, diplomacy, conflict, narrative and storytelling, identity politics and the functions of society, students are encouraged to think broadly about humanity, and about the attitudes that shape our daily lives.
