Academicians and other social scientists are being invited to Regional Roadshows which will bring the Campaign to the social science community.
These events provide an opportunity to discuss the Campaign's aims and strategies and the various ways in which all social scientists can help. These are normally lunchtime events, hosted by local universities wanting to show their support for the Campaign. They include formal presentations on the Campaign and its progress plus ample opportunity for Questions and Answers and lively discussion. Key members of the Academy and Campaign and Appeal Boards are present at each Roadshow.
We would like to encourage ALL social scientists to attend. Please spread the word amongst your friends and colleagues.
