Administrative history
The Department of Social Studies was established in September 1994. It was created through a consolidation of the Departments of Chinese History, Economics and Public Affairs, Geography, History, and Social Studies from three former Colleges of Education, i.e. Black, Grantham and Northcote. The Department provided the focal point for the development of subject expertise, research and other scholarly activities.
In order to generate greater coherence and enterprise among cognate departments, the Department of Social Studies became part of the Board of Social and Business Studies, alongside the Departments of Fine Arts and Business Studies.
To fit with the strategic development of The Hong Kong Institute of Education, the Department has been merged and organised into different departments and under different Faculties/Schools.
