 Welcome to Social Sciences at TrentDean of Arts and Science - Social Sciences A Message From the Dean, Welcome to the Social Sciences at Trent. The Social Science departments
include Anthropology, Business Administration, Economics, Indigenous
Studies, International Development Studies, Political Studies, and Sociology.
These departments and programs provide an engaging and experiential
approach to the study of human societies and organizations and
contemporary social and political issues. Social Science faculty are engaged in distinctly contemporary scholarship and teaching, are highly connected to their communities of interest and deeply interested and engaged in the social issues of the day. As you will see when you explore our Social Science programs, the faculty have developed curriculum to encourage students to study outside of the traditional classroom. Both International Development Studies and Indigenous Studies have strong history of year-abroad programs. International Development Studies offers a year abroad program in both Ghana and Ecuador and Indigenous Studies offers a year abroad program in Thailand. Anthropology and, more recently, Business Administration have integrated field based learning into their programs. Over the past 13 years, the Social Archaeology Research Program has run a field school in Minanha, Belize. Closer to home, the Ontario Field School and Oshawa Historical Field School provide a focused and intensive introduction to archaeological field methods. In 2011, Business Administration initiated field based learning – an immediately successful endeavour thanks to the overwhelming support from local businesses in the Greater Peterborough Area.
