聚焦ANSOC专业

How did you decide to major in 人类学+社会学?

I took a sociology class in high school, and I liked it. I declared ANSOC as a major coming in, but I did not think that I would stick with it. As a freshman I thought college was about majoring in something that had a concrete outcome, 比如市场营销或商业. But, I stayed in the major and I now I feel more passionate about it. I see that there are career opportunities with it.

What interests you the most about anthropology and sociology?

I like being able to use it in everyday life. Wherever there are people there are opportunities for anthropology and sociology. It has given me the opportunity to think more critically.

Do you have any thoughts on your upcoming required senior thesis?

我还不确定. 我有一些想法. I am interested in gender and think it would be interesting to study masculinity and barber shops. I also think doing a study on Beer Culture, focusing on craft breweries and the shifts in beer culture would be interesting too.

你还在RWU做什么?

I do a lot of photography on my own. I am on the RWU Men’s Volleyball club. I recently went on a 出国留学 trip to Greece through RWU. 我喜欢所有的运动，喜欢徒步旅行.

对离开RWU后的生活有什么想法吗?

I think I would really like to pursue a PhD in sociology. 我今年不申请了. I am going to take a year off first, as I want to travel more beforehand.

What is your advice for incoming students and underclassmen?

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and do what you are passionate about.
