The Festival of Social Science is an annual celebration of research and knowledge about humans and society. It’s an opportunity for anyone to explore topics relating to social science – from health and wellbeing to crime, equality, education and identity – through events run by researchers and their partners from UK universities. Events are free, open to anyone and can be in-person, online or hybrid. Event types include talks, performances, exhibitions, participatory events and panel debates
In 2023 we had 17 diverse events, ranging from a pop-up performance to encourage discussion around caring and dementia to a film screening at the intersection of sustainability, fashion and climate change.
Expression of interest forms will be sent out soon. For more information please contact Holly Flynn-Piercy h.flynn-piercy2@salford.ac.uk and
