Festival of Social Science 2024
The festival explores the world of social science, from how society has shaped our local areas to behaviours that help fight climate change. A key theme for the 2024 festival is ‘our digital lives’. Many of the events will explore the relationship between humans and digital technology, from threats and opportunities facing us today to what life might look like in future.
The festival runs from 19 October to 9 November with events across the UK, both virtually and in person, for all ages and tastes. Take a look round the main website to find events that suit you.
