The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences. Its purpose is to inspire, recognise and support excellence in the humanities and social sciences.

The Fellowship takes a lead in representing the humanities and social sciences, facilitating international collaboration, providing an independent and authoritative source of advice, and contributing to public policy and debate.
