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:
“You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.”
—Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
“In social halls a favored guest
In years that follow victory won,
How sweet to feel your festal fame
In woman’s glance instinctive thrown:
Repose is yours—your deed is known,”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
