SUMMARY:The changing context for the social sciences -- and especially
  for social and behavioral science research\, Chaos & Complex Systems 
 Seminar\, Cora Marrett\, UW Department of Sociology
DESCRIPTION:These thoughts have been stimulated of late by a Task Forc
 e on which I serve for the Social Science Research Council (SSRC).  Th
 e Task Force has been examining the changing -- and increasingly compl
 ex ecosystem -- in which the social sciences operate.  At a roll-out o
 f our report\, we noted the challenges the changes pose and potential 
 responses to them.<br>
\n<br>
\nThe Task Force is not the only develop
 ment prompting my interest in the topic.  Changes and challenges domin
 ate the agenda as well of the Division of Social and Behavioral Scienc
 es and Education (DBASSE) at the National Academies\, on whose Advisor
 y Committee I sit.  Significantly\,  my service as the inaugural head 
 for the Social\, Behavioral\, and Economic Sciences(SBE) at NSF clearl
 y prompted me to attend to developments across these fields\, related 
 especially to research and policy making.  My time as Deputy Director 
 at NSF (and two stints during that time as Acting Director) enabled me
  to see beyond these fields to activities affecting and affected by sc
 ience and engineering writ large.
