Toward a Globally Connected, Public Social Science
In her chapter for a new book, Contradictions of Globalization, SSRC Executive Director Mary McDonnell unveils a vision of the social sciences in which scholarship is fully committed to international issues and to public engagement, and in which cross-border, collaborative research networks have become the norm. She also provides a history of the SSRC's own efforts to work out the relationship between social science and public policy.
