The ESRC has profiled key areas of ESRC funded research exploring many aspects of our lives through a series of videos and articles, which can be found here.
The research is grouped thematically around the iconic nursery rhyme ‘Monday’s Child’ and is well worth taking a few moments to look at (even if you don’t consider yourself a social scientist) as the themes have a considerable bearing on all of us.
I think the videos are also great examples of how to make short broadcasts about your research in a way that is engaging to many audiences. The short articles contained on the site are also not only interesting, but provide useful examples of how to communicate your research without ‘dumming down’ your findings.
