Public forums and communications program 

The Public Forums and Communications Program aims to raise awareness of the social sciences within the community, among policy-makers and opinion leaders, and to highlight the relevance of the social sciences for public policy.

The Academy’s Public Forums Program comprises of:

• The Academy’s Annual Events 
  • The Annual Symposium
  • The Cunningham Lecture 
• The Academy’s Public Lectures
  • The Paul Bourke Lectures
  • The Fay Gale Lecture
  • The Keith J. Hancock Lecture
  • The Peter Karmel Lecture in Public Policy

The Public Forums Committee calls for nominations from the Fellows for the Academy’s Public Lectures and consults with the Fellowship in relation to the topics for the Annual Symposium.

The Committee oversees the selection and operation of Academy events where public access and the contributions of non-Fellows are invited and proposals can be received by the Secretariat.
