BoHS  
Representing the Human
Dimension in the Sciences
About BoHS
The Board on Human Sciences is an association of administrators of higher education units responsible for research/discovery, extension/outreach, and teaching/learning programs in the Human Sciences at universities across the country. Their members are committed to a national agenda that unifies disciplines within and beyond the human sciences to enrich people’s lives.
         
Human Sciences
Purposeful integration that addresses issues challenging individuals, families and communities Solutions to major issues facing individuals, families and communities typically cannot be found in only one discipline. The human sciences bring together multiple perspectives to address human needs. Professionals in the field of human sciences integrate the best thinking from various disciplines to address and solve important challenges that we face individually, as families and communities, and as a society. We integrate disciplines to solve practical, reoccurring problems that individuals, families and communities face.

   Impact of the Human Dimension
   Leaders of the Board on Human Sciences met with 
   administrators of the 
U.S. Department of 
   Agriculture National 
Institute of Food and 
   Agriculture in August 
2011.  The impact statement 
   resulted 
from that meeting.  The impact 
   statement
 focuses on the importance of including 
   the
human dimension, studying how and why 
   humans make decisions and conversely, how 
   systems impact individuals.
