Research output: Book/Report › Other report

Abstract

The UNESCO Hangzhou Declaration of 2013 highlighted the importance of culture as ‘an enabler and driver of sustainable development’. In spring 2021, the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies ran a short research project to investigate the reasons for the gap between the potential and actual contribution of the Humanities. We worked jointly with SHM, a consultancy firm which specialises in applying insights from the Humanities to solving problems for businesses, public policy-makers and NGOs, and held a series of interdisciplinary discussions with a range of UCL researchers, from PhD students to professors. The aim was to identify ways of applying Humanities' insights to work on SDGs and to make proposals for policies to help ensure that the Humanities are fully integrated into the debates from now on.
