What kind of degree are you talking about when you say "social studies"?
- joeclark77 11y agoI'm referring to "soft sciences" like social work, psychology, sociology, [grievance] studies, poli sci, etc, as opposed to the humanities: history, mathematics, philosophy, classics, fine arts, etc.
- chiaro 11y agoNot sure what you mean by grievance studies but most of those, besides being quite important, fit under the humanities label. Mathematics on the other hand, probably not.
- joeclark77 11y agoMost of those would be classified as "social sciences", not humanities. It has to do with the methods and philosophies they use. Grievance studies is my nickname for "_____ studies" where the "_____" is the name of some census checkbox.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> I'm referring to "soft sciences" like social work, psychology, sociology, [grievance] studies, poli sci, etc, as opposed to the humanities Race/ethnic/gender/subculture (what you seem to call "grievance") studies are humanities (academic disciplines that study human culture) not sciences (soft or otherwise.)
