Report By Natalie Miazga, BBSRC-Funded CSaP Policy Intern (February 2015 - May 2015)
Last week the Centre for Science and Policy held its fourth annual conference at Murray Edwards College in Cambridge. This year our conference explored opportunities for improving the way government accesses, assesses and makes use of expertise from the humanities, and offered examples of the significant contribution these disciplines have made to public policy.
Earlier in the conference, it had emerged that the worlds of humanities and government were “poles part”. Reflecting on this, Lord Wilson (chairing the session) highlighted the huge resource in academia from which government could benefit. This session focused on the humanities at the heart of government and what policy making stands to gain.
