Talk:Academy of Learned Societies in the Social Sciences

I wish to edit this page but need to get your approval as I work for the Academy. The current text - and that on the page entitled 'Academy of Learned Societies for the Social Sciences - is out of date: apart from anything else, we have changed our name.

I propose to remove this page and update the other one [the one containing for in the title] as follows:

Page title - Academy of Social Sciences

"The Academy is the voice of the social sciences in the United Kingdom Its mission is to promote social sciences in the United Kingdom for the public benefit.

The Academy is composed of individual Academicians and Learned Societies. Academicians are distinguished scholars and practitioners from academia and the public and private sectors. They are entitled to use the postnominal letters ‘AcSS’ and have the title of Academician conferred on them after a process of nomination by other Academicians or learned societies and assessment of their eminence and contribution to social science. Most of the learned societies in the social sciences in the United Kingdom are represented within the Academy.

The Academy responds to Government and other consultations on behalf of the social science community, organises meetings about social science and seminars on topics that span social science disciplines, and sponsors a number of schemes that promote social science and enhance its value to society."

Please let me know if this will be OK. Chatsworth99 (talk) 07:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
