Praxis is what embodies the breadth and depth of the work we do at the Department of Social Development Services. Our Department draws from the diverse backgrounds of our faculty and staff who have well-rounded experience in academia and development practice.
The wide range of specializations from social-ecological systems, food systems, environmental management, social development, community development, global and public health, political economy, public policy, consumer education, sustainable livelihood and enterprise development, and spirituality are woven together through Transdisciplinary human ecology and social technology approaches.
This enables our teaching, research and public service functions to become Holistic and Integrative as we contribute in achieving the mandate and direction of the University of the Philippines Los BaƱos as a Graduate Research and Public Service University.
