Description
Our world, through the eyes of sociologists. Brought to you by The Sociological Review Foundation.
The podcast that casts a sociological lens on our lives, our world, our crises. Each month, we sit down with an expert guest and grab hold of a commonplace notion – Anxiety! Privilege! Burnout! Fat! – and flip it around to see it differently, more critically, more sociologically. A jargon-free space, led by hosts Rosie Hancock and Alexis Hieu Truong, to question tropes and assumptions – and to imagine better ways of living together. Because sociology is for everybody – and you certainly don’t have to be a sociologist to think like one!
