the Social Sciences


Explanation:
Another possibility, depending on the context. I believe that "social studies" refers to elementary or high school, while Social Sciences refers to university-level study.

I'm afraid we won't get far with this term thinking along


Explanation:
a flat paradigm. If we still think along the dividing lines of "sciences" and "humanities", the human sciences do not conform; to the extent that a science deals with man, it is a human science (sociology, psychology, etc.); to the extent that the humanities are a scientific field of research, they are human sciences. To the extent that translation itself is a repository of cultural data, it is also a human science. This approach is fairly new and bears the mark of an interdisciplinary collaboration that is still making difficult headway in the universities we left behind.

Just a comment.
