I’m pleased to announce that the ESRC’s Festival of Social Science programme is now available to view online at www.esrcfestival.ac.uk. This year we’ve a programme of over 170 free events across the UK, giving a fascinating insight into some of the country’s leading social science research and how it influences our social, economic and political lives – both now and in the future.
I’d also like to introduce the ESRC’s young people’s photographic competition –Where do I belong?
We’re challenging young people aged 14-18 to take a picture of where they feel they belong - whether it’s a place, what they do, who they are with, or where they want to be in the future. Social science studies all aspects of society and influences our social, economic and political lives both now and in the future. From big ideas to the most detailed observations, social science affects us all every day - at work, in school or college, within our communities, when exploring our identities and expressing our beliefs.
The competition is an ideal opportunity to bring social sciences to the classroom, engaging young people creatively and encouraging them to explore the relevance of social sciences to their lives.
Total prize fund £2,800
Closing date for entries is midnight, 9 December 2013.
