Chair´s Welcome
Welcome to the School of Social, Cultural and Educational Development
The school supports the historic and urban mission of the University and emphasizes the academic ideas associated with producing competent educators and professionals in the areas of social & cultural studies and educational development. The School develops students interested in teaching social studies in public and private schools, but we also offer opportunities for those students interested in working in business, government, and industry in areas such as human resources, community organizations, and non-profit organizations. Our students work as teachers, counselors, evaluators and researchers in educational environments by cultivating mastery of skills in the areas of human development and behavior, psychology of education, learning theory and research and evaluation methods. |
About the School
The School of Social, Cultural and Educational Development at the Winchester City University offers a wide range of academic programs that provide a perfect fit for students who like to reach for the horizon and who want to make a difference in the world.
Highly motivated students in our School explore the connections among individuals, societies, and the cultures we have created. They also consider the values and beliefs we hold, study ways in which we communicate, and examine the historical contexts that have given rise to the world in which we live. The friendly faculty and staff in this active learning community are interested in helping intellectually curious students succeed. And our dedicated faculty members have expertise in a wide variety of areas across many disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. Characterized by their passion for what they teach, our professors eagerly share their high level of knowledge in their subjects. |

Social & Cultural Studies
Social and Cultural Studies explores the relationships among social relations, cultural practice, and economic, historical, and political contexts.
Classes in this concentration emphasize interdisciplinary, multicultural, and multimedia approaches to learning about dynamic cultural and historical interactions. Students will complete this concentration with a better sense of how to read and interpret the meanings of historical documents, literary works, popular culture texts, and various forms of visual, aural, and material culture. Concentrators will become more historically aware and sensitive to ways that their own identities and cultural assumptions are shaped by constructed meanings of race, gender, sexuality, age, national identity, and ethnicity, and will develop strategies that will allow them to analyze and contextualize a wide range of world events, texts, and issues. In sum, this concentration draws on insights from an array of disciplines to examine constructed meanings and practices of everyday life. |
