led by Professor John H. McKendrick and Mandy McConville, Glasgow Caledonian University
We will use the example of the work of the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit to reflect on the ways in which we can use social science research to shape Scottish (and beyond) society for the common good. We will draw on other examples of impactful social science and think critically about the way in which ‘impact’ is conceptualised and appraised in the REF.
There are no prerequisites for this session – it is open to all who are interested in research impact. The session will comprise traditional lecture sections and interactive activities.
