2019年秋季

The CoSS Dean’s 研讨会 for 2019年秋季 was held on Wednesday, November 06, 2019. Four CoSS faculty—Professors Kathleen McConnell, 尼基Yeboah, Rebeca Burciaga, and 坦尼娅Bakhru—presented their research.

社会科学 scholarship explores complex, often interrelated, social, economic, environmental, and political processes—both contemporary and historical. It also researches ways to improve quality of life and make society more just, vibrant, and sustainable. The presentations at this semester's COSS Dean's 教师 研讨会 represent the wide range of issues that social scientists study: investigating whether California's Master Plan for higher education thwarted more opportunity than it has generated; how the social, political, and economic forces of our globalized era affect women's reproductive and sexual rights; how pedalogical approaches that engage with students' lived experiences—their culture, history, and social context—shapes the educational experience; and why oversaturated images of racial trauma and police violence in our society requires building new narratives and stories that spark intervention in racialized trauma, not just passive public 消费.
