Department of Sociology and Anthropology: Records, George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, Bowdoin College Library, Brunswick, Maine
The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology strives to develop an insight into the nature of society, the diversity of cultures around the world, and the similarities that all people and societies share. The department maintains active and current research opportunities for its students to get involved in sociological projects around Maine and the world. The Sociology major includes ten courses and the minor five courses. The major in Anthropology also includes ten core courses and the minor five courses. Both areas offer and encourage students to undertake an independent study program or an Honor's project.
