Social Science for Social Justice Podcast Returns for Second Season 

Sage (the parent of Social Science Space) and Surviving Society’s collaborative podcast series, Social Science for Social Justice, has returned for a second season. In three new episodes, podcast host Dr. Chantelle Jessica Lewis (Oxford University) interviews authors from Sage’s book series of the same name, exploring research into topics including racial trauma and the university, African feminist praxis, and eugenics.  

The Social Science for Social Justice book series was launched by Sage in 2022 to offer a platform for academics, journalists, and activists of color to respond to today’s pressing social issues. Providing rigorous analysis and radical thinking in clear, accessible language, this series continues Sage’s six-decade legacy of developing and investing in emerging areas of social and behavioral science research.
