The Campaign For Social Science

The Academy launched the Campaign for Social Science in January 2011 to advocate social science to Government and the general public. The Campaign is self-funded. It has campaigned for the restoration of the post of Government Chief Social Science Advisor, promotes social science in the media and on the web, and organises roadshows around the country to emphasise the value and importance of social science.

Famous quotes containing the words campaign, social and/or science:

    The war on privilege will never end. Its next great campaign will be against the privileges of the underprivileged.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The true use of Shakespeare or of Cervantes, of Homer or of Dante, of Chaucer or of Rabelais, is to augment one’s own growing inner self.... The mind’s dialogue with itself is not primarily a social reality. All that the Western Canon can bring one is the proper use of one’s own solitude, that solitude whose final form is one’s confrontation with one’s own mortality.
    Harold Bloom (b. 1930)

    After science comes sentiment.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
