At a time when humanities and social sciences are under pressure, this lecture will show the value of these disciplines for policymakers as demonstrated through the work of the British Academy. Hetan Shah will discuss how the humanities and social sciences can provide essential insight on matters from artificial intelligence to economic strategy, and how these subjects are vital to the future prosperity, health and happiness of the nation. Mr Shah will go on to discuss what policymakers can do to support these disciplines to ensure that the UK retains its multidisciplinary strengths.
