The History and
Social Sciences Major integrates
courses in history, gender studies, and
social sciences – anthropology and
psychology – in such a manner as to relate
the content of courses in one area to that
in the other areas.
Recognizing the profound transformations
shaping our world today, the Department of
History and Social Sciences offers an
interdisciplinary degree program, featuring
the choice between two Tracks:
The Historical
Cultures and Nations Track
formulates with its courses historical
narratives that investigate the
legitimization of political languages,
social actions, cultural representations, or
ideological projections. Courses examine
public life within geographical areas,
national zones, or cultural spaces.
The Gender Studies
and Social Cultures Track shapes
with its courses a different cultural zone,
one where traditional discourse is altered
and transformed through notions of gender,
identity, difference, or projection. What is
investigated is the social transformation of
humans within civilizational processes.

The
Mairie de Paris has awarded a grant of
25,000€ for a project proposed by Stephen
Sawyer (Chair of the History Department),
which includes Brian Schiff (Chair of the
Psychology Department) and a team of
professors from the Sorbonne and the
University of Chicago. The project,
entitled "Une cartographie culturelle de
Paris Metropole," will map cultural
consumption in the capital and its impact
on public transportation, political
mobilization, and individual narratives of
urban experience. The two-year project
will generate conferences, articles and
books on the role of culture in shaping
the Paris of 2030. |
