39. Enlighten’s Impact in Economic and Social History “Enlighten is really important to our mission to widen access to our research. As social scientists, we believe absolutely in the value of our work in terms of enhancing understanding of the issues and problems faced by contemporary society and, as historians, we are convinced that solutions to those problems must be informed by knowledge and understanding of the past. There is no point undertaking this research if it is not publicised as widely as possible, and Enlighten plays a very valuable role in disseminating our results and raising the profile of our department.”
