DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Social Science Ideas Panel Committee\, Daniel 
 Lichter and Valerie Hans\, Co-Chairs.\n\nAs an elite Land Grant university\
 , Cornell has embraced public engagement and state and community outreach a
 s fundamental missions.   Cornell is home to New York State’s Cooperative E
 xtension Service\, which extends basic research to its state-wide constitue
 ncy\, and to Cornell’s Experiment Station\, which supports applied public p
 olicy research in service to the public\, both within the state and across 
 the United States.  The public policy faculty—broadly conceived—provides a 
 bridge between Cornell’s traditional academically-oriented departments and 
 faculty and the public.  Indeed\, translational research is on the ascendan
 cy at the National Institutes of Health (i.e.\, Bench to Bedside).     In t
 his regard\, Cornell’s social science faculty from City and Regional Planni
 ng\, Policy Analysis and Management\, Industrial and Labor Relations\, Gove
 rnment\, and the Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research provide n
 ew possibilities for synergistic research and training—radical collaboratio
 n—across the various social science disciplines.\n\nBut public policy and e
 ngagement is not limited to interconnections among social science faculty a
 nd programs\, but also involves programs outside the traditional social sci
 ence disciplines.  As an example\, Cornell is known from its strengths in t
 he environmental sciences\, natural resources\, and sustainability (e.g.\, 
 Atkinson Center).  Social scientists are actively involved in research on t
 he behavioral and economic consequences of climate change (e.g.\, populatio
 ns displaced by drought\, or changes in the suitability or productivity of 
 hybrid seed crops\, such as coffee or grapes).  Changes in the digital envi
 ronment and social media also call for a better understanding of ethics\, r
 egulatory policy\, and social and political impacts of new forms of communi
 cation and social influence (e.g.\, fake news and propaganda). For example\
 , linkages between the Department of Communications (mostly involving psych
 ologists) and Computer and Information Sciences represent a real strength a
 nd opportunity in the social sciences at Cornell.  Other on-going research 
 involves new collaborations between transportation engineering and the deci
 sion-making sciences\, including psychology\, marketing\, and regulatory ec
 onomics (in PAM).    Social scientists are also well-suited to address ques
 tions about the adoption and diffusion of new technologies (e.g.\, driverle
 ss cars).\n\nFor more information\, visit our website.
