Remodeling the Ivory Tower: Social Science for Social Justice

Join us for an online roundtable discussion that will explore how to diversify knowledge production in an academic environment that often excludes and diminishes voices of color.

4:30pm GMT, 11:30 ET, 8:30 PT

This event marks the launch of SAGE’s Social Science for Social Justice book series. Our speakers, series editors Meredith D. Clark and Jason Arday, and authors Francesca Sobande and Tarek Younis will address questions including:

• How do we move beyond preconceived notions of what an academic text looks like?
• How do we define “expert” and why?
• What is the history and impact of gatekeeping in academic publishing?
• And how do we ensure that social science knowledge has influence outside of the academy to impact communities in a meaningful way?
