Humanities and Social Sciences,comprising the disciplines of Economics, English, Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology is an integral component of academic life at NISER. The courses from these disciplines form part of the required listings for undergraduate Science majors of the Integrated Five year MSc programme. The School enjoys a high degree of autonomy in designing core and elective courses for the student community that are primarily intended to encourage an understanding of the social substrate that anchors cultures of science. The courses are enhanced by the complementarity of research undertaken by the Faculty. The school actively contributes to its knowledge eco system by working as a resource centre for the neighbourhood. The School's research centers on Networks and Social Media, Institutions and the Psychology of Value, Disability and Impact, Urban Psychogeography, Being and Biopolitics, Ecology and Human Systems, Emplotment and Built Environments and Science-Society interface.
