社会学与公共政策项目

项目简介

社会学和公共政策是紧密相连的领域。社会学是对社会和人类社会行为的科学研究，包括构成社会生活的结构、制度、过程。公共政策指政府和其他机构为解决社会问题和满足其选民需要而采取的决策与行动。

这个项目的校友已经获得了加州大学伯克利分校、达特茅斯学院、斯沃斯莫尔学院等美国顶尖大学的录取，并在大学继续学习政治学、经济学等专业。

学生在尤里卡项目中收获的研究经验和技能帮助获得了斯特劳夫斯基高中科学奖、经济与金融建模大赛决赛选手、全国优秀学生奖学金、阿伦·J·戈特耶数学奖等著名竞赛奖项。

项目校友也非常热衷于帮助他们的社区，参与志愿活动并创办非营利组织，例如有位校友在湖南湘西地区组织了为期一个月的志愿服务，教授小学一到五年级学生英语。

以下部分将更深入地分享往届学生的经历。

研究主题案例

好莱坞两个全亚洲演员电影中的固有差异

本文比较了好莱坞的两部全亚洲演员阵容电影《喜福会》和《疯狂的亚洲富豪》。作者探讨了两部电影的编剧和导演的动机，发现他们都非常希望自己的电影得到认可。孝道民族主义以不同方式贯穿了两部电影，它们的接受程度受到了美国不同时期政治环境的影响，《疯狂的亚洲富豪》反响很大而《喜福会》反响平平。两部电影的编剧都希望与亚裔美国人的历史建立联系，并改变好莱坞过去对亚洲人错误的描绘。作者在参加尤里卡项目期间撰写了这篇论文。
