Transforming the world through research?

...How is research in Arts & Humanities contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals?

Good health and wellbeing, gender equality, peace and conflict resolution…What can the study of religion contribute to improving hygiene? How can music studies impact social inclusion?

This event showcases interdisciplinary work involving Arts and Humanities scholars which addresses the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It asks how research in Arts and Humanities is relevant to challenge-led research goals. Examples from Sheffield scholars are followed by a panel, which explores the capacity of Arts and Humanities for international interdisciplinary research.
