Social & Human Sciences
- © UNESCO/Marina Faetanini
The social and human sciences have a vital role to play in helping to understand and interpret the social, cultural and economic environment. They provide research, identify and analyse trends, propose paths of action. UNESCO has set itself a number of tasks that should help reduce the gap between what is and what should be. This also corresponds to the work of the Sector for Social and Human Sciences (SHS):
Determine what should be (ethics and human rights)
Anticipate what could be (philosophy and prospective studies)
Study what is (empirical social science research)
