Social Thought & Analysis is the first undergraduate major of its kind to be offered in the nation. It is an interdisciplinary program that examines the nature and impact of societal structures and processes, as well as the development of social theory since the 17th century.
Faculty from many disciplines — anthropology, economics, education, history, law, medicine, philosophy, political science, psychology and social work — provide a comprehensive, more inclusive look at society and culture for the 21st century.
The faculty, which is involved in multidisciplinary, community-based research as well as international research, addresses human interaction in groups from social, historical, cultural and theoretical perspectives. Particular attention is given to social problems that arise from distributions of power and resources.
