Following the adept leadership of Professor Sir Cary Cooper CBE FAcSS, who stepped down as Chair in 2015, the Academy has built on his legacy with steady growth and positive change. In 2016 we completed our strategic review. This offered an opportunity to assess our progress which produced important recommendations. We have now moved to implement several of these, including enhancing the Academy’s Fellowship through the conferment of more than 40 new Fellows from Roger Goodman the social science practitioner community. This will ensure we continue to represent the rich diversity we confront new and emerging challenges, Brexit of expertise across all social science disciplines. We paramount among them.

As the national academy of academics, learned societies and practitioners in the social sciences, the Academy comprises around 1,200 individual Fellows, 42 learned societies and their members, and a number of affiliates. Together these represent nearly 90,000 social scientists, most of them from the UK. Fellows are distinguished scholars and practitioners from academia and the public and private sectors. The award of Fellow is typically given after the Shamit Saggar person nominated is in at least mid-career, with significant achievements to their name, and they must have contributed to social science more broadly than on issues affecting the social sciences. the normal demands of their job.

The Academy took a major step towards meeting this objective in its most recent Fellowship conferment in 2016, adding more than 40 new practitioner Fellows. Another outcome is our investment in a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) database. The purpose is both to bring together all member engagements with the Academy, while also providing a searchable database of member disciplines and areas of interest, to enable responses to outside enquiries from journalists or government looking for expertise in certain areas. Growth in membership has enabled the Academy to Louise Ryan and Ivor Crewe raise its capability in many areas needed to support and foster that growth and pursue its underlying STRATEGIC REVIEW objectives.

  • The Events in the US Dramatise the Consequences of Allowing Deeply Embedded Racist Attitudes to Be Subject to Too Little Challenge
    The events in the US dramatise the consequences of allowing deeply embedded racist attitudes to be subject to too little challenge. Conscious and unconscious racial bias, and inaction in addressing them, remain prevalent across many institutions. We write in a personal capacity as heads of Oxford Colleges to reassert our belief in the need to promote, protect and advance equal dignity and respect, diversity of thought, good race relations, tolerance and multi culturalism in our institutions and the world. We acknowledge the role that education can play in building racial equality and fair inclusion of black voices and perspectives in society. We recognise and regret that, for black members of our community, the unfolding crisis together with the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on their communities has caused them particular anxiety, anger and pain. We stand with them during these difficult moments with hope that, through the global mobilisation of many against these injustices, through education, discussion, and peaceful protest, we may work together towards a world free of systemic racism and discrimination.
