British Academy – A manifesto for the Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts (short document; free download)

The British Academy has today published their manifesto in which we outline three ways the next government can harness the vast potential of the humanities and social sciences and ensure that the UK maintains its global reputation for excellence in these disciplines.

The British Academy calls on the next government to:

·       Support an educational system that is sustainable, sparks creativity and offers opportunities to all

·       Use insights and evidence — from all disciplines — to address society’s biggest challenges

·       Recognise and support the international strength of our research and higher education sector
