British Academy: The UK's National Academy for the Humanities and Social Sciences
Proposals for British Academy events
The British Academy operates a varied programme of events, for a range of audiences. It welcomes proposals for the following types of events:
- Public events communicating humanities and social sciences scholarship
- Seminars addressing topical policy issues and matters of current debate
- British Academy Conferences
1. Public events communicating humanities and social sciences scholarship
Such events should seek to communicate new research and perspectives to non-specialist audiences, and to demonstrate the value of humanities and social sciences scholarship. Of particular interest are events that draw on more than one of the humanities and social sciences disciplines represented by the Academy.
The principal vehicles are the Panel Discussion and the 'In Conversation' event.
2. Seminars addressing topical policy issues and matters of current debate
Such events should seek to bring to bear scholarly insights on matters of public concern, topical debate and public policy, and to promote dialogue between academic and non-academic specialists. Events should represent a contribution to a national (or international) dialogue.
The principal vehicle is the British Academy Forum.
3. British Academy Conferences
Such events, held over one or two days, should seek to be pivotal events, of lasting academic significance in their field. Proposals of an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary nature are especially appropriate, and suggestions for subjects with policy implications are welcomed.
