Social Science: A Very Short Introduction

Social Science: A Very Short Introduction examines social science as the study of human behaviour. Social science provides tools to understand and explain people’s choices and actions while also considering how they live together in communities. The VSI explains how methods and theories from different disciplines can be applied and combined to address major global challenges. It further highlights how social scientists can have real-world impact and change the world for the better. It examines cutting-edge themes such as behavioural science, human data science, and the ways social science can work in collaboration with natural sciences and humanities.
