To prepare students for a fuller understanding of today's globalized society and multi-civilizational world, the degree program in History and Social Sciences 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:

 
 
 

Historical Cultures and Nations

 

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.

 

 

Gender Studies and Social Cultures

 

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.
