The 2022 ESRC Festival of Social Science runs from 22 October to 13 November. There are over 200 events to choose from, in a mixture of online, in-person and hybrid formats, led by 34 higher education institutions across the UK. The Festival is an annual celebration of research and knowledge about humans and society and is ESRC’s flagship public engagement initiative. A key theme as part of the 2022 Festival is ‘my local area’. These events celebrate social science research that relates to the areas in which partner institutions are based, from their social and economic history to their dialect, political landscape and high streets. However, there will also be events on a huge range of other topics relating to social science – from health and wellbeing to crime, equality, education and identity.
The full range of events is on the Festival website. For most events, a place can be booked in advance online, and all are free to attend.
