Office of the Dean

Together let us strive to make the practice of the Social Sciences in Ateneo de Manila University be infused by least three elements: one, a sense of belonging as a way of ensuring successful navigations of university spaces by those who study and work in the university; two, the problem-solving mode that highlights the role of social scientists in offering not only analysis or critique but practical results; and three, translocal and transnational engagements as a way for us to understand the Philippines better.
