Sociology and Anthropology
Sociology and Anthropology Professors: Thomas C. Greaves, Linden F. Lewis (Chair), Carl Milofsky, Paul H. Noguchi, Matthew Silberman Associate Professors: Deborah A. Abowitz, A. Tristan Riley, Marc Schloss Assistant Professors: John C. Bridges (visiting), Elizabeth Durden, Michelle C. Johnson, Edmund Searles The department encompasses two disciplines, sociology and anthropology, and offers separate majors in each. Sociology Sociology is the study of human social action. It emphasizes an appreciation of human diversity, social inequality, and the processes that govern groups, organizations, communities, cultures, and nation states. Because these areas of study are integral to a liberal arts education, the department encourages students with diverse majors to take courses at all levels. Among other things, a major in sociology may assist those interested in graduate work. It also offers a background for careers in law, journalism, government and international affairs, teaching, social work, and public service. Anthropology The central reason human beings are different from other animals is an adaptational breakthrough called culture. Anthropology focuses on different cultural solutions to such questions as how to live compatibly with the surrounding environment and with each other. Its study of human diversity in its many forms contributes essential elements to a liberal arts education. The aim of the major is to introduce students to the anthropological understanding of human society. Instruction is offered on various topical issues, on the ways of life characteristic of particular world regions, and on the ways in which anthropology is employed to solve practical problems. Students may go on to graduate work but anthropology furnishes skills and conceptual tools useful in a wide variety of life and career objectives. Both the sociology and the anthropology majors encourage students to include original research and off-campus experiences in their program of study. We make field research and internship opportunities available in several of our courses as well as via study abroad and in other areas of the U.S. These offerings are available in both sociology and anthropology. We encourage students interested in off-campus field research to take several of these courses beginning in their second or third year at Bucknell, although seniors with no prior experience are usually admitted to field study courses. Sociology Major (SOCI) The sociology major is divided into three sub-areas: a general major in sociology; the concentration in legal studies; and the concentration in human services. Sociology majors must select one of these three options or, with the assistance of a departmental sponsor, formulate a concentration of their own design. The general major in sociology requires that students complete eight courses in the department, although students may count one anthropology course towards the major. Students taking one of the concentrations are required to complete 10 courses, two of which must be outside the department of sociology and anthropology. A student in a concentration may take no fewer than six courses in the department, with a minimum of five in sociology. No more than two 100-level courses may be counted towards the sociology major in either the general major or the concentrations. Students should register for the concentrations when declaring the major so the registrar can assist them in keeping track of their progress through the program. Students may, however, select a concentration at any time. The general major in sociology provides students with an overview of the discipline and exposure to a variety of specialty areas in the field. The general major is intended for students who wish a broad exposure to social issues and sociological concerns, either as part of their liberal arts education or in preparation for graduate study in the field. The general major is best suited for students who wish to study more than one area of sociology in depth. Legal Studies and Human Services by their nature transcend the boundaries of any single discipline. Concentrators are required to take core courses of the major and a sequence of courses specific to the concentration. The concentrations are offered to allow students to study a particular area of sociology in depth and to allow students to substitute specified courses in other social science disciplines for courses that they otherwise would be required to take in sociology to satisfy the major. Students in the Human Services concentration are especially likely to engage in field research. The General Major in Sociology The general major in sociology requires that students take eight courses, no more than two of which may be at the 100-level in the department and no more than one of which may be an anthropology course. Requirements are as follows: - Two sociology core courses: SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research and either SOCI 211 Classical Sociological Theory, or SOCI 212 Contemporary Sociological Theory. The department strongly recommends that core courses be taken as early as possible in a student’s career in the major. Students should take at least one sociology course at the 100 or 200 level before taking SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research. SOCI 208 is not intended for first-year students or first-semester sophomores.
- Two courses in sociology at the 300 or 400 level, at least one of which is a seminar. 400-level courses are Capstone courses. Those with the SOCI designation, in addition to meeting the requirement for seminar courses at the 300 or 400 level, also fulfill the university Capstone requirement.
- Four other courses in sociology, or three courses in sociology and one in anthropology. Courses that are crosslisted as sociology and anthropology courses count as sociology courses and still allow sociology majors to take one course designated solely as an anthropology course. Students may elect to have either or both of the following courses count towards a major in sociology: GEOG 210 The Urban Condition and RUSS 253 Folklore and Ritual.
With the exception of Bucknell-sponsored programs like Bucknell en France, Bucknell in Barbados, Bucknell in London, or Bucknell in Northern Ireland, courses taken off campus normally may not substitute for one of the core course requirements or for the 300- or 400-level seminar courses. The department chair may allow an exception if provided with clear information about the character and quality of off-campus courses and if these courses adequately substitute for material that would be taught on campus. No more than two off-campus courses are ordinarily counted toward the major. Concentration in Human Services Supervisor: Prof. Milofsky The concentration in human services includes courses on specific service institutions like schools, health care, social welfare, criminal justice, community, and religion that are combined with an emphasis on field research experiences. Core courses require that students work in the community. Extensive and effective help is provided as students do that work. Field experiences are a valuable part of a liberal arts education and we encourage all students to partake in them. This curriculum is particularly useful, however, to students who plan to enter social work, education, community work, and the health sciences. Many students go on to graduate school in social work, education, or medicine. Other students find that field experience and the data collection skills that we teach are excellent preparation for finding work with only a B.A. in organizations that provide direct human services. The concentration in human services requires completion of 10 courses. Two are core requirements of the sociology major (SOCI 208 and either SOCI 211 or SOCI 212) and two others are core requirements for the concentration (SOCI 215 and SOCI/ANTH 201). Students should take at least one sociology course at the 100 or 200 level before taking SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research. SOCI 208 is not intended for first-year students or first-semester sophomores. Similarly, SOCI 215 and SOCI/ANTH 201 are open only to second-year students and above except with permission of the instructor. Students also must take a 300- or 400-level course (which maybe a Capstone) specifically related to the concentration. Also required are two courses in sociology or anthropology related to human services and one course in sociology not related to human services. Students also must complete two additional courses related to human services, in disciplines other than sociology or anthropology. A fuller description of the concentration and a complete, up-to-date list of courses that may be taken for credit towards the concentration is provided on the departments's website: www.bucknell.edu/x698.xml. Concentration in Legal Studies Supervisor: Prof. Silberman The concentration in legal studies requires 10 courses, no more than two of which may be at the 100 level in any department. The following courses are required: - Two sociology core courses: SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research and either SOCI 211 Classical Sociological Theory, or SOCI 212 Contemporary Sociological Theory. The department strongly recommends that core courses be taken as early as possible in a student’s career. Students should take at least one sociology course at the 100 or 200 level before taking SOCI 208 Methods of Social Research. SOCI 208 is not intended for first-year students or first-semester sophomores.

Students may have courses not on this list counted towards the legal studies concentration with the approval of their faculty advisers, the concentration adviser, or the department chair.
The Minor in Sociology The minor in sociology requires five courses in sociology. Students may count no more than two 100-level courses toward the five courses required. Courses in anthropology may not be counted towards the sociology minor unless courses are listed as satisfying both sociology and anthropology major credit. No more than one off-campus course ordinarily counts toward the minor. Honors The department strongly encourages qualified majors to consider working for honors in sociology. Such students should consult in their junior year with one or more members of the faculty of the department to begin defining a research topic and writing a proposal.
