Social sciences From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search The social sciences are a group of academic disciplines that study human aspects of the world. They differ from the arts and humanities in that the social sciences tend to emphasize the use of the scientific method in the study of humanity, including quantitative and qualitative methods. The social sciences, in studying subjective, inter-subjective and objective or structural aspects of society, are traditionally referred to as soft sciences . This is in contrast to hard sciences , such as the natural sciences , which may focus exclusively on objective aspects of nature. Nowadays, however, according to proponents of this view, the distinction between the hard sciences and many of the so-called soft sciences is blurred. Currently, it is a matter of fact that some social science subfields have become very quantitative in methodology. Conversely, the interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary nature of scientific inquiry into human behavior and social and environmental factors affecting it have made many of the so-called hard sciences interested on some aspects of social science methodology. Examples of boundary blurring include emerging disciplines like social studies of medicine neuropsychology bioeconomics and the history and sociology of science. Increasingly, quantitative and qualitative methods are being integrated in the study of human action and its implications and consequences.

Space Social Sciences The social sciences are key to the understanding of many of Europe’s societal issues such as the balance between economic growth and impact on the environment. In other words the social sciences examine what it means to be a social being, ranging from the minutiae of human behaviour and brain functions, to large scale social movements, demographics, economics and politics. The ESF’s Social Sciences Unit aims to advance social sciences on a European level by supporting innovative research ideas and approaches driving from the scientific community. The Social Sciences Unit encompasses a range of disciplines that examine and explain human functioning on a variety of interlocking levels, ranging from neural foundations to individual behaviour, group processes and the functioning of entire societies. The Social Sciences cover the following fields: Business and Administrative Sciences Communication Sciences Demography Economics Environmental Sciences Geography International Relations Law Pedagogy and Education Research

RESEARCHING IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES Social scientists interpret and analyze human behavior, generally using empirical methods of research. Though original data gathering and analysis are central to social sciences research, researchers also use library and Internet resources to obtain raw data for model building or analysis locate information about a particular model, theory, or methodology to be used in a research project review the literature to place new research in context Subjects of study in the social sciences sometimes cross disciplines and may be difficult to locate using the typical subject headings in indexes and abstracts. In addition, new theories may take some time to circulate in the literature, especially in print sources. Consequently, the researcher should be prepared to identify potential search terms by scanning indexes and abstracts in relevant works use the references in published articles and books to trace connections among theories and ideas work from most recent to older sources A review of the literature for a social sciences research project not only should identify what research has been done but should compare and contrast the available information and evaluate its significance.

Social Science Research Council PROGRAMS FELLOWSHIPS SSRC GLOBAL PUBLICATIONS ... SITE MAP SEARCH: All Migration The Public Sphere Knowledge Institutions ... Internships Fellowships SSRC fellowship and grant programs provide support and professional recognition to innovators within fields, and especially to younger researchers whose work and ideas will have longer-term impact on society and scholarship. These programs often target the spaces between disciplines, where new perspectives emerge and struggle for acceptance, thus ensuring the production of knowledge and expertise on key topics, regions, and social challenges. They promote the diversification of knowledge production, strengthening research by ensuring that it remains open to (and challenged by) a range of perspectives, backgrounds, and nationalities. The SSRC has funded the work of more than 10,000 researchers and junior scholars from around the world, often at pivotal moments in their careers. Its fellowships and grant programs have engaged a wide and evolving range of themes, from African youth and globalization to public spheres in the Middle East and North Africa; from human sexuality to memory and repression in Latin America; from the social role of information technologies to the impacts and causes of international migration. Although most programs target the social sciences, many are also open to applicants from the humanities, the natural sciences, and relevant professional and practitioner communities. In nearly all cases, fellows share their findings through research and training workshops, which provide occasions for them to test their methods and assumptions and to build the interpersonal networks that can support innovative work over time. Fellows benefit, too, from mentoring opportunities with leading senior researchers in their areas. In many cases, they engage not only their academic seniors and peers, but also a range of other producers and users of knowledge, including practitioners in non-governmental organizations, advocates, policymakers, and individuals from the private sector.
