Join us each week as we curate content from UMBC‘s social science faculty, students, community partners, and visiting guests and lecturers!\n\nThe Center for Social Science Scholarship promotes excellence across the social sciences at UMBC. Spanning disciplines and programs, we connect scholars who engage in social scientific study—asking key questions about social life, addressing problems of local and global concern, sharing knowledge about public issues, and connecting research to practice and policy.\n\nGuided by the core principles of inclusion, equity, and diversity, we encourage intellectual exchange and cross-cutting dialogue as we strive to advance social progress and equity in ways that are critically relevant not only to UMBC but to our local, national, and global communities.\n\nTo foster high quality social science inquiry, we offer research and grant support, host trainings, promote campus and community events, and provide opportunities for academic as well as public debate, for the benefit of the university and society.\n\nUMBC Social Sciences Schools & Departments:\n\nDepartment of Africana Studies\nDepartment of American Studies\nDepartment of Asian Studies\nDepartment of Economics\nDepartment of Education\nDepartment of Emergency Health Services\nDepartment of Gender, Women‘s & Sexuality Studies\nDepartment of Geography and Environmental Systems\nDepartment of Gerontology\nDepartment of Global Studies\nDepartment of History\nDepartment of Interdisciplinary Studies\nDepartment of Language, Literacy, and Culture\nDepartment of Media & Communication Studies\nDepartment of Modern Languages, Linguistics, and Intercultural Communication\nDepartment of Political Science\nDepartment of Psychology\nSchool of Public Policy\nSchool of Social Work\nDepartment of Sociology, Anthropology, and Public Health\n\nRetrieving the Social Sciences is a production of the UMBC Center for Social Science Scholarship.
