about.

Wikipedia describes Social Studies as “a broad term that groups together the academic disciplines of humanities, arts, and social sciences (HASS).” While the disciplines within HASS differ in their approaches and methods—subjective vs. objective, philosophical vs. scientific—they all ultimately seek to study and understand human beings within their social contexts. Moreover, the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary scholarship has further blurred traditional disciplinary boundaries, enriching our collective understanding.

 

In a media landscape increasingly dominated by mindless and vacuous content that impedes intellectual engagement, The Social Studies Initiative draws upon the members’ academic foundations in HASS to foster critical thinking and nurture a sustained spirit of inquiry in our audience. We understand the importance of this endeavour in assisting better decision-making in every walk of life, resulting in better outcomes for individuals and society. Indubitably, when individuals are empowered, those at the helm of affairs are held accountable for their far-reaching actions.
