The Collaborative Social Science Research Domain's activities are overseen by a cross-UCL Steering Group composed of academics from a broad disciplinary spectrum

Our members are UCL researchers with social science interests who have demonstrated a commitment to cross-disciplinary collaboration, or non-social science members who are committed to deepening research by collaborating with social scientists. Members advise, and contribute to, the Domain’s wide ranging activities. The Steering Group meets once a term and is chaired by Professor Carey Jewitt, Professor of Learning and Technology, Knowledge Lab, Culture, Communication & Media, IOE, UCL. The Domain also enjoys the goodwill of numerous researchers across UCL who also support our activities.
“As a founding member of the Steering Group, I have witnessed the ways in which the collaborative social science domain has developed to provide a vital focus for the consolidation and development of strategies for the promotion of social sciences at UCL. Given the spread of expertise in social sciences across UCL the domain nurtures opportunities for researchers to engage with the value of social science perspectives to develop interdisciplinary research and support research impact.
