But why should economics and political philosophy be the only fields in which students may gain a basic grounding, and gain credit for it as such, without sacrificing an elective slot?

You may also get no advising worth speaking of, which, as compared to Ec or other large concentrations, may not be that different (though Soc Studies doesn’t have Ec’s excuse of being an enormous department). And you won’t get nice receptions in hotels like the History of Science peeps.For all its philosophical ideals (unifying knowledge rather than splitting it into different narrow disciplines), Social Studies could better be known...
