Right quote

"As we try to make sense of the rapidly changing world around us – from geo-politics to AI, from climate risks to social cohesion – the insights of the SHAPE subjects (the Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts for People and the Economy) will be vital, as will the joy, enrichment and fulfilment they provide."

Professor Julia Black, President of the British Academy
