Description
This session will introduce to you what the School of Social Sciences and Global Studies stands for, how we approach the interconnections between research and teaching, and how we support our growi...ng number of students. The eight Disciplines in the School include Development, Economics, Geography, Philosophy, Politics and International Studies, Religious Studies, Social Policy and Criminology, and Sociology. We have thriving undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum in all these disciplines. Collectively, we are well-equipped to tackle a wide range of global challenges, whether it’s environment and sustainability, migration and mobilities, peace and conflict, rich-poor gap, transnational organised crime, or global ethics. Each of the SSGS disciplines can contribute their own perspective to these challenges, collectively offering something that is more than the sum of the parts. As a relatively new and growing School, we are very keen to make sure that the research strengths that our academics bring directly inform the exciting and cutting-edge curriculum we offer. With Martin Higginson, Matt Staples and Shonil Bhagwat
