Policy and Research
Our policy work focusses on social sciences for public benefit, based on evidence: how new proposals may affect social science research or teaching; what social scientists do in their work; and how social scientists can contribute to policy and public debate.
Policy Themes
Our policy work covers these four distinct themes. See our most recent work relevant to each topic below.
