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.
