At the College of Charleston, our faculty are boundless – in their curiosity, in their research and in their impact on their students. Take, for example, sociology and anthropology professor John Rashford. John Rashford, College of Charleston

A model teacher-scholar, Rashford has an interest in different cultures and their relationships with their environments that has brought him to Mexico, Sweden, Austria, Kenya, Ethiopia, India, Thailand, Hong Kong and Japan, to name but a few.
