The We Society

AcSS

Will Hutton and guests explore the big ideas in Social Science that can change the way
we live.

Beyond the politics, beyond our geography are the intangible connections that hold us
together – The We Society.

Brought to you by the Academy of Social Sciencesin association with the Nuffield
Foundation and the Leverhulme Trust, The We Society explores the thousands of ways
Social Science can help us understand and enhance this complicated and fascinating
human network.

From social policy to human geography, misinformation to healthcare and AI to the war
in Ukraine, leading experts, academics and public figures share the knowledge that
matters.

So if you’re ready for research-led insights and engaging conversations, why not make
The We Society your next listen?
