The Place to Be? (eBook, ePUB)

How social sciences are helping improve places in the UK

Beschreibung

This Academy of Social Sciences report shows how UK social sciences are making powerful practical contributions to improving places - cities, regions, counties or countries - in the UK. It includes 24 case studies highlighting how university-based social scientists are helping with place-based 'levelling up'. It covers many different social science disciplines in all parts of the UK working on projects from the purely local to those that tackle issues that occur across the UK but that affect different areas or regions differently. The examples are not about broader social science research or policy prescriptions but practical efforts to work with private sector businesses, local authorities and local health and education bodies and others to improve area-based disadvantage in the UK.

The Campaign for Social Science was launched in 2011 to advocate social science to the UK Government and to the public, at a time of significant change in the higher education system. It campaigns for the restoration of the post of Government Chief Social Science Advisor and the retention of large-scale longitudinal research programmes. It also promotes social science in the media and on the web and organises road shows and other events to emphasise the value of social science. As of January 2015, the Campaign was supported by 80 universities, learned societies, charities and publishers.
