GUNS in SOCIETY
Attitudes towards guns reflect social and cultural values; appropriate management of gun use requires social and political action. This collaborative website is the result of research conducted by students at the City University of New York.  Undergraduates at Lehman College have been working together, across the semesters and through participating in an advanced seminar in ethnography, since the fall of 2015.  Graduate students in the Master's of Arts in Liberal Studies program at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, contributed their research produced during the fall semester, 2018.

The aim of our work together is to generate new perspectives on contemporary gun culture in the United States of America, looking at the place of guns in society from interdisciplinary perspectives including anthropology and sociology, history and philosophy, economics and political science, and studies of art and technology.
