Research and innovation

Our research is informing policy and practice, leading debate and shaping the world we all live in.

International and engagement

We are involved in a variety of projects, working with primary and secondary schools, community networks and local authorities.

"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."

Professor Julia Black, President of the British Academy
