  • Lessons from the History of UK Science Policy

    Lessons from the History of UK Science Policy

    Lessons from the History of UK Science Policy August 2019 2 Science Policy History Foreword The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences. Our purpose is to deepen understanding of people, societies and cultures, enabling everyone to learn, progress and prosper. The Academy inspires, supports and promotes outstanding achievement and global advances in the humanities and social sciences. We are a fellowship of over 1000 of the most outstanding academics, an international community of leading experts focused on people, culture and societies, and are the voice for the humanities and social sciences.1 The British Academy aims to use insights from the past and the present to help shape the future, by influencing policy and affecting change in the UK and overseas. Given this, the Academy is well-placed to bring humanities and social science insight from the past into policymaking for the present and the future. One way to do this is in using historical insights to inform policymaking – ‘looking back to look forward’. To support these efforts, the Academy’s public policy team in collaboration with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, has undertaken a new programme of work on policy histories. The policy histories series develop historical analyses for individual policy areas. These analyses are used to provide: • a structured, rigorous and objective account of the history of a given policy area and the significance of key milestones in context, • an informed basis for analysis and insights from the timelines as well as dialogue and discussion about what history can tell us about the future.

Mirrors of Modernization: The American Reflection in urkT ey Abstract This project documents otherwise neglected dimensions entailed in the assemblage and implementations of political theories, namely their fabrication through encounters with their material, local, and affective constituents. Rather than emanating from the West and migrating to their venues of application, social scientific theories are fashioned in particular sites where political relations can be staged and worked upon. Such was the case with modernization theory, which prevailed in official and academic circles in the United States during the early phases of the Cold War. The theory bore its imprint on a series of developmental and infrastructural projects in Turkey, the beneficiary of Marshall Plan funds and academic exchange programs and one of the theory's most important models. The manuscript scrutinizes the corresponding sites of elaboration for the key indices of modernization: the capacity for empathy, mobility, and hospitality. In the case of Turkey the sites included survey research, the implementation of a highway network, and the expansion of the tourism industry through landmarks such as the Istanbul Hilton Hotel.

Some readers may be unfamiliar with what the Academy is and what it does.The following pages seek to give a flavour of the variety of Academy activities, which range across a broad spectrum of scholarly endeavour both within the UK and on the international stage. First and foremost, the Academy is a Fellowship of scholars, elected for outstanding academic achievement in one or more of the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. The active participation of these Fellows enables the Academy to conduct a wide variety of activities to support academic research, to stimulate scholarly debate and to promote the role of the humanities and social sciences to a wider audience. The activities undertaken by the Academy include the organisation of lectures and conferences, the sponsoring of major infrastructural projects that are adopted as Academy Research Projects, running a flourishing publications programme, facilitating international networks, and allocating research awards.This Review contains a section on each of the major areas of the Academy’s work. As well as material customarily to be found in a formal Annual Report, extracts from lectures and publications and specially commissioned articles are included that seek to offer an insight into the variety of academic endeavour promoted by the Academy.

    Visit by Society President and Chief Executive to Academies and Other Agencies in UK, Ireland and Canada; 29 Oct

    Visit by Society President and Chief Executive to Academies and Other Agencies in UK, Ireland and Canada; 29 Oct. – 9 Nov. 2019 Andrew Cleland and Wendy Larner Key Findings All academies are thinking hard about “research culture” which includes the academy taking a leadership role on matters like career structures, research integrity, dealing with poor behaviour and misconduct etc. All academies are taking assertive actions to diversify the types of people being made Fellows and we are behind some others in this respect. In particular, we are less advanced on ‘proactive nomination’ of under-represented candidates and on updating the nature of a nomination to be inclusive of diverse forms of excellence. The term “inclusive excellence” was used in a few places and is a terminology we could adopt. ECRs initiatives are common but everyone is concerned about career structures and progression and seeking to find the right engagement model with the Young Academy model not being seen as the right model by many. The College model of the Royal Society Canada seems superior to Young Academies generally (and is similar to the best Young Academy models – Scotland and Netherlands). Industry and professional linkages are a vital part of engineering and technology academies, and to a slightly lesser extent, this is also true of medical academies. Separate academies in these domains have emerged when science-based academies have not been sufficiently inclusive of the different ethos of clinical research, engineering or technology. London-based Academies There are five “national” academies in the United Kingdom – Royal Society (science), British Academy (humanities and social science), Royal Academy of Engineering, Academy of Medical Sciences and Academy of Social Sciences.

The Center's Latin American Program, established in 1977, has two major aims: to support advanced research on Latin America, the Caribbean , and inter­ American affairs by social scientists and humanists, and to help assure that fresh insights on the region are not limited to discussion within the scholarly community but come to the attention of persons interested from a variety of other professional perspectives: in governments, international organizations, the media, business, and in the professions.
