Taking time for an off-campus program may help expand your thinking beyond a purely academic approach to sociology and anthropology, and thereby give you a different understanding of what it really means to "study" another culture. The SOAN department offers a Field Research Seminar in Guatemala ever other Winter Term led by Professor Jay Levi. While this is the only SOAN program explicitly affiliated with Carleton, there are many options for off-campus study that utilize sociology and anthropology in their curriculum. If you are creative enough, you can put a social scientific slant into almost any program you choose.
