The salient role of social sciences and humanities
Media : PLOS Climate, UK, Februrary 2023
Article written by Gracia Brückmann, University of Bern
Summary : Despite long-standing pleas for interdisciplinarity and a more significant role of social sciences and humanities (1), energy research (ER) largely remains the remit of hard sciences, such as climatology, physics, and engineering. Contributions of social sciences and humanities (SSH) are routinely separated and rarely considered in discussions about energy strategies.
