Social Sciences, Human Services and Criminal Justice

The Department of Social Sciences, Human Services and Criminal Justice aims to broaden and deepen understanding of the complex social, economic and political issues which face modern society.

On October 28, the department hosted a webinar featuring Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, discussing his book, “Arguing with Zombies”. If you weren’t able to attend, you can still view the discussion here:
