This DASSH panel contribution to the CHASS Congress reflects on the way recent government policy shifts towards the commercialisation of university research might impact, shape and change the approaches and habits of arts, social science and humanities researchers. Our panel brings a particular emphasis on social ventures in the context of a discussion about universities’ public benefit mission. We ask whether a clear distinction can be made between ‘social purpose research’, commercialisation, and the implementation of humanities research for public good.
