Overview
Organisation profile
The School of Society and Culture (SSC) is home to a diverse collection of researchers working in the social sciences, education, humanities and creative arts.
We’re dedicated to advancing knowledge for public benefit, driving meaningful change in our society and enriching communities (be they near us or an ocean away). In line with research in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business, our School's research speaks to 5 major themes:
- Place, Community and Creativity
- Heritage, Culture and Digital Innovations
- Health, Communities and Well-Being
- Environment and Sustainability
- UK in A Changing World
The School’s disciplines are grouped into five research units to correlate with the UK REF (Research Excellence Framework). We are especially proud to report that the most recent REF 2021 exercise demonstrated the strength of our research, with the majority of our ‘outputs’ (books, articles, performances), ‘impactful activity’ (for public benefit), and ‘environment’ (including our PhD graduates, and externally-funded grant awards) rated at 3* or 4* (internationally significant or world leading).
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
