Hard Problems in Social Science. 2010. [http://socialscience.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=socialsciencedivision&pageid=icb.page336066 Hard Problems in Social Science]. socialscience.fas.harvard.edu

Christakis, N. 2010. [http://stream.fas.harvard.edu/ramgen/permanent/dept/social_science/sequence_02.rm Expert Hard Problem 1]. (How and why does the "social" become "biological"? That is, how is it that social factors affect our bodies --as individuals and as a species? What genetic and epigenetic mechanisms might underlie such effects? Is it possible that social and cultural evolution affects our genes, perhaps as much as our genes affect social and cultural phenomena?) Cambridge, MA: Harvard Medical School

Swidler, A. 2010. [http://stream.fas.harvard.edu/ramgen/permanent/dept/social_science/sequence_02.rm Expert Hard Problem 2]. How do societies create or re-build effective, powerful, and resilient institutions (for instance, governments)? What do social scientists have to contribute to the analysis of why, for example, in Iraq or Afghanistan, certain local authorities such as chiefs or clan elders retain their influence, while many imported institutions fail?] Berkeley, CA: UC Berkeley.

Taleb, N. 2010. [http://stream.fas.harvard.edu/ramgen/permanent/dept/social_science/sequence_04.rm Expert Hard Problem 3] How can we be robust against "Black Swans"; that is, how can we (1) identify domains where these consequential rare events play a large role (these are too rare for any statistical models track them properly), and (2) instead of predicting Black Swans, build systems and societies that can resist their shocks?]. NYU/Polytechnic

Bearman, P. 2010. [http://stream.fas.harvard.edu/ramgen/permanent/dept/social_science/sequence_07.rm Expert Hard Problem 4]. How do we understand why social processes, in particular civil violence, either persist over time or suddenly change over time? Columbia University.

Bostrom, N. 2010. [http://stream.fas.harvard.edu/ramgen/permanent/dept/social_science/sequence_07.rm Expert Hard Problem 6]. How can one measure academic worth? Citation analysis? Panels of silver-haired luminaries? Is there something better? Oxford University.
