Our most recent discussion paper argues: What we need are proposals for sustainable change. What we need is increased involvement of the humanities and their integrative power.
Out of crises comes the new: flood disasters, drought, heat waves, and forest fires, although accompanied by uncertainty, present an opportunity for sustainable change and necessitate the integration of the humanities to create new spaces for thought and action towards a more secure future.
Should the social sciences only analyse the past and present? Or should they also try to help design the future? THE NEW INSTITUTE aims to support faster and closer connections between social science and the vital changes needed in our society as we respond to climate change, ageing, inequality and a world flooded with powerful new technologies. It is needed in part because our existing academies are not generating an adequate supply of options and designs for the future.
