Punching our weight

I haven't had the chance to work my way through it yet, but the British Academy has just published a report, "Punching our weight: The Humanities and Social Sciences in Public Policy Making".

As I say, I have yet to take a look in any detail, but it may be of interest to some readers. The summary of recommendations is here.

Edit: Forgot to mention the British academy press release:
"Humanities and Social Science disciplines are not 'punching their weight' in contributing to public policy making as they could and should be. [...] 'Our findings show that... there remains considerable scope to improve the effectiveness of public policy making through increased use of humanities and social science research.'"
