Faculty

Professors in the School of Social Science share a common view of social science as probing contemporary problems and identifying possibilities for addressing them. Although each faculty member is rooted in their discipline, all do work and engage in debates that transcend disciplinary boundaries. Their critical approach extends to both epistemological and social issues. The scholarly inquiry they conduct addresses contemporary issues from a variety of perspectives but always includes a theoretical edge.
