"As we try to make sense of the rapidly changing world around us – from geo-politics to AI, from climate risks to social cohesion – the insights of the SHAPE subjects (the Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts for People and the Economy) will be vital, as will the joy, enrichment and fulfilment they provide."
