Editing Anthropology and Sociology

'''Anthropology and Sociology''', known informally as '''ANSO''', is a course of study offered through the [[Anthropology and Sociology Department]].  It includes the Anthropology and Sociology major and minor.  The department is located on the third floor of  [[GDH]].

==Overview==
This is a rather idyllic department, known for the unmatched camaraderie among its professors and students. 

===Professors===
Among the intriguing characters who can be seen here are Professor [[Jon G. Wagner]] (easily spotted in tie-dye or batik shirts, this gent has a certain spring in his step, and a twinkle in his eyes) and Professor [[Nancy Eberhardt]] (dressed in earthy tones and beaten metal earrings, a smile rests easily on her lips).

===Students===
Odd students too have been associated with this department that seems to nurture some of the brightest and most peculiar at Knox.  [[Themba Benedict Mabona]], who wore his head of curly hair and his velvet trousers with a grace unknown in the greater [[Midwest]], found friends and admirers in this department.  [[Sean Dowdy]]: the Buddhist Punk, the Sociologist Rocker...his adventures in Bihar would amaze the most stout-hearted.  [[Anjali Krishan]]: anthropologist extrodinaire, this lass sashayed her way into all our hearts.  [[Emily Smith]]: quiet and unassuming she may seem at first glance, but her pluck and intelligence soon becomes apparent.  [[Rachana Rao Umashankar]]: Wannabe biker-chic, [[Star Trek]] junkie and Middle-Earthian Wizard, this geek astounded many with her passionate devotion to [[Durkheim]], and her rendition of "Strangers in the Night".

===History===
The department used to be called "SoAn". [[Larry Breitborde]] is [[Rumor|rumored]] to have changed it when he became a [[dean]] because he likes Anthropology better.  Irked by this stealthy move, [[Bob Seibert]] opined that his department be re-christened the "[[Political Science and International Relations Department|Aardvark Department of Political Science]]." 

In 2006, [[AnSo_Department_Exodus_of_2006|all of the AnSo professors left]] except [[Jon Wagner]].  [[Nancy Eberhardt]] is coming back, though.
