SUMMARY:The changing context for the social sciences -- and especially
for social and behavioral science research\, Chaos & Complex Systems
Seminar\, Cora Marrett\, UW Department of Sociology
DESCRIPTION:These thoughts have been stimulated of late by a Task Forc
e on which I serve for the Social Science Research Council (SSRC). Th
e Task Force has been examining the changing -- and increasingly compl
ex ecosystem -- in which the social sciences operate. At a roll-out o
f our report\, we noted the challenges the changes pose and potential
responses to them.
\n
\nThe Task Force is not the only develop
ment prompting my interest in the topic. Changes and challenges domin
ate the agenda as well of the Division of Social and Behavioral Scienc
es and Education (DBASSE) at the National Academies\, on whose Advisor
y Committee I sit. Significantly\, my service as the inaugural head
for the Social\, Behavioral\, and Economic Sciences(SBE) at NSF clearl
y prompted me to attend to developments across these fields\, related
especially to research and policy making. My time as Deputy Director
at NSF (and two stints during that time as Acting Director) enabled me
to see beyond these fields to activities affecting and affected by sc
ience and engineering writ large.
