Department of Contemporary Social Studies
Instilling an enriched understanding of modern society, producing leaders capable of thriving in the community and welfare sectors. We research diversity in modern society - the world humans live in and the structures that allow people to be happy - from a social studies perspective. We consider the qualities that give people the ability to survive, and the power to forge a new society. We think about the reality of today's diverse society as well as strategies to fix its problems. We strive to nurture individuals with wide-ranging expertise and the rich sense of humanity required to realize a welfare society.
