Abstract

Have you ever wondered how Arts and Humanities research influences public policy? Do you yearn for role models from across Arts and Humanities disciplines who represent recent, successful examples of policy engagement with academic research, leading to societal change? This new publication by UPEN Vice Chair (Arts and Humanities) Professor Arlene Holmes-Henderson and Laidlaw Scholar Luke Sewell (both Durham University) collates case studies from researchers in diverse institutions, spread across the UK, and shares their experiences of working with policy professionals in parliament, national government, devolved administrations, local authorities and policy-adjacent organisations.
