In cooperation with the Office of Career Services at Pace University, the department seeks to match students with internship placements that overlap with academic interests and complement academic coursework. Anthropology and sociology students have opportunities to engage in independent and thesis research, with recent topics focusing on border enforcement and ICE regulations, notions of nationality and citizenship among British youth post-Brexit, studies of NYC’s Chinatown and adaptations of Chinese food in the US context, and examinations of recycling practices cross-nationally. Coursework typically includes research projects involving mapping of immigrant settlement patterns globally; analyzing allegations of police misconduct throughout the US; exploring monuments and memorials in the urban context; and visiting urban farms, art exhibits focused on migration, urban life and urban protest, and attending and organizing special events such as the UN Global Migration Film Festival and community forums on homelessness and social justice.
