ANSO News for alumni & friends of
Anthropology & Sociology at Williams

Ephs in Anthropology, Sociology, & Related Fields

Just for fun we have tried to identify past and present Williams graduates (and a few who transferred elsewhere before graduating) who have become professional anthropologists and sociologists. Many did not major in ANSO at Williams. Some were here long before the department came into existence, which as many of you know was late by comparison to other institutions of higher education in the United States.

We did the best we could to gather complete and accurate information, but we've doubtless missed a few of you. Please contact Michael Brown at his Williams email address with information about corrections and additions.

The numbers--and some of the names--may surprise you. Their year of graduation is included when we know it. (New information added in late 2011.)
