New ANSO Community Gardens are Shaping Up!

Anthropology and Sociology departments have started a community garden on the patio just beside the main entrance to ANSO! The Sociology Students’ Association is pleased to be able to participate in this project, and we have been given to planters. Some of the executives planted them last week and here’s what they look like today. Starting from the top left and moving clockwise, we’ve got Oregano, some tomato and flower seeds coming in, mint, kale and strawberry, cabbage and cauliflower (if I remember correctly), and cilantro and chives. Can’t wait to see these fully grown!

Great success at our Sociologist’s Café!

We had a super engaging discussion about gender, sexualities, hetero- and homonormativity, love, families, capitalism and consumerism in the context of Valentine’s Day. Students and faculty from Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science and other departments shared their questions and perspectives.

Many thanks to Avi Ames, Silvia Bartolic, and Becki Ross for guiding our conversation.

Re-live the discussion through our first SSA Podcast here

We are all looking forward to more events like this one!

Halloween: unpacked

What a great discussion! The history of Halloween; scary monsters and happy monsters; sexy costumes, insensitive costumes and witty costumes; home made treats vs. packaged candy; Halloween in movies and TV;  Halloween from inside and outside; fears and anxieties; vampires vs. zombies; cultural imperialism, consumer culture, diversity training. We discussed it all!

Sociologist’s Café a total success!

Thank you all for coming to our first event of the series. At the SSA we are extremely happy with the level of  conversation, faculty participation and student attendance. We are touched that so many of our fellow students showed interest in connecting with the community. We ran out of food and chairs and we see that as a sign of success.

We hear you, we want more of these events too! We’re working hard to make it happen.

Already in the works: Unpacking Halloween! Who’s the monster behind the mask?
