Department of Social Science

Learning involves a combination of reflecting on what we know and also experiencing new ways of seeing the world and relating to others.

As HOD, I am especially excited about what Social Science offers us.

First, knowledge in the social sciences provides us with numerous tools to name what is going on around us. Through the study of human behavior, ethics and decision-making, languages and images, social organizations, and norms and institutions, those who examine the social sciences have consistently been committed to describing, analyzing, questioning, and presenting a complex and in-depth picture of various aspects of the world in which we live.

Secondly, social sciences can lead us to imagine, and then work toward, a more equitable world. As the poet Gloria E. Anzaldúa has expressed in her book Borderlands/La Frontera, “Before change happens, we have to imagine what this change might look like”.

Our goal is to equip students to be a productive member of a society. The ability to be analytical, to think critically and creatively, to be innovative, and to communicate effectively.

The Social Science Department stands ready to support all the students. We look forward to an enjoyable and productive teaching and learning with all the students
