To Chris Minns who has been elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.
Fellows are elected for their substantial contributions to social science. This is much more than economic history: fellows are active in a range of areas including land law reform, rural socio-economic change, ageing populations, urban development challenges and migration.
On announcing the Fellows, the President of the Academy, Will Hutton, said: “At a time when the importance of the social sciences to addressing many pressing issues cannot be overstated, it’s a pleasure to welcome these 41 leading social scientists to the Academy’s Fellowship. Their contributions have furthered our understanding in tackling a wide range of societal challenges including mitigating health and economic inequalities, understanding the causes and effects of hate crime, the development of inclusive practices in education, and the future of cities. We look forward to working with them to further promote the vital role the social sciences play in all areas of our lives.”
