Social Sciences at Southampton has an international reputation for innovative, quantitative methodologies in social statistics. This collection introduces some of the interdisciplinary research themes, including a series involving academics and students collecting and analysing data gathered from the field of the ‘caught in the act of protest’ project. And in a recent interview with one of our academics, Director of Liberty, Shami Chakrabati, talks about issues of personal liberty and national security.
