It was fantastic to see so many people of all ages exploring world-leading @sheffielduni research into the everyday ideas that shape our lives.
The Festival of Social Sciences 2024 saw a series of free exhibitions, talks, debates, games, films and workshops across the city. As you can see from the fab pictures, it went down an absolute storm!
