The Social Policy Association has been invited to nominate new Academicians
for membership of the Academy of Social Sciences. The paramount requirement
for successful nomination is a significant contribution to Social Science
and its promotion. This contribution can be in any area, discipline or
inter-disciplinary social science and can include research, teaching,
professional practice, consultancy and the promotion and dissemination of
social science knowledge. With the development of the social sciences, there
are new areas and disciplines emerging, including ones which overlap with
the Arts and Humanities, and the environmental, medical, natural or physical
sciences. Those nominating new Academicians must provide evidence of the
contribution that the nominee has made and the ways in which this has been
distinguished and significant, including impact. The Academy has recently
decided that members may also be permitted from abroad so long as they can
demonstrate a strong continuing link with UK social science. This link must
be made clear in the case for nomination.
The Social Policy Association can submit up to ten nominations. Nominations
must be seconded and accompanied by a statement of the person’s significant
contribution to social science, plus a short (maximum four pages) CV.
Please contact Rachel Peña at [log in to unmask] in the first instance with
suggestions for nominations, ensuring these reach us by 17 November. Please
check you have the agreement of your nominee! The Social Policy Association
Executive Committee will first approve nominations before requesting
completion of a full nomination form.
