Keene state college

About

The program prepares students for the social and professional demands of living in an increasingly multicultural world. Students examine what it means to be human, how people evolved physically and developed culturally over time, how society and culture influence behavior, and how culture provides a lens through which people understand and interpret their world. While people in anthropology and sociology teach about particular cultures and societies, this is accomplished by examining patterns of behavior using a comparative method. Learning is based on empirical investigation which emphasizes observation skills, participation, and critical analysis to create knowledge necessary for understanding these differing behaviors and worldviews.

About

The program provides students with the interdisciplinary study of narratives and the application of the practice of Anti-Racism. Working across a set of four focus areas, students unpack, measure, and interrogate the deep and abiding impact that notions of race have made on society. Students investigate the experiences, expressions, and possibilities—voiced and embodied, principally, by people of color— that emerge from an ongoing struggle with white supremacist ideology. Building on these studies, students will engage Anti-Racist practices to identify and repair harm done by racism in their own thinking and in the structures and actions of their communities.
