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.

Torsten will focus on the immediate cost of living crisis, and the background for the country experiencing it: a living standards stagnation stretching back well over a decade. He will reflect on the role social science has played in recognising, understanding and solving these related but distinct developments.

The evidence-based policymaking movement has grown substantially over the past 25 years. Notwithstanding, there remain practical, methodological, and economic limitations to evidence-informed policymaking that must be addressed.

An event exploring the urgent need to combine both social and technological solutions in order to address the challenges of climate change.

In this episode, join Mark Peterson as he explores the sustainability practices that benefit companies, consumers and stakeholders holistically, and considers how this sustainable and macro mindset can be fully embedded in marketing pedagogy.

An eclectic mix of disciplines and research methodologies is crucial for theorising socio-economic, political, cultural, and religious domains. However, in a refreshed take on an old problematic, in a commitment to ‘post-colonial’ and ‘de-colonial’ frames, this lecture proposes these border crossings create opportunities for focusing a critical lens on existing disciplinary conceptual frameworks and methodologies.

Our talks will cover both the practical things that therapists can do, for instance working with war traumatised clients; challenging racism and a Eurocentric view of the world; and more theoretical explorations of the links between therapeutic ideas and conflict resolution practices.

The Campaign for Social Science and SAGE Publishing invite you to join our 2021 annual lecture by Will Hutton, President of the Academy of Social Sciences with a response from Baroness Minouche Shafik, Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

In this webinar, Financial Times journalist Andrew Jack led a discussion with Dr. Renate Meyer, Dr. Maura Scott, Dr. Usha Haley, and Mike Taylor as they analyzed the issue as part of a larger effort to inspire and change the current measures and find new ways to recognize societal impact.

The authors of Researching Family Narratives expand on the themes of the book; a text which guides students and researchers through the processes of researching everyday stories about families.

SAGE Publishing’s Critical Thinking Bootcamp is returning for another day of discussion, guidance, and shared resources to help librarians and professors encourage critical thinking in and out of the classroom.

In this hour-long webinar, four fellows of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) Peter Loewen of the University of Toronto, Adrian Raftery of the University of Washington, Prerna Singh of Brown University, and Robb Willer of Stanford University, joined The Atlantic‘s Alexis Madrigal to consider such questions and appraise the state of the art in social and behavioral science research, essential if we intend to prepare for and respond to future pandemics more effectively.

This one-hour webinar kicked off with a representative from SAGE sharing findings from a recent survey of academic librarians on how trends have changed since the pandemic began as well as concerns and challenges for the future. Then, academic librarians from the US, Canada, and the UK shared their own experiences and ideas for a better future for the library.

After a year of unforeseen crises, the business world has rapidly changed and is increasingly advocating for the needs of society and the environment. But how will these changes impact teaching in Business and Management? How can we use this as an opportunity to stop and rethink?

In this first episode, join SAGE author Oliver Laasch as he considers the opportunities of reinventing management in a responsible way and teaching students to shift “from doing more to doing better.” He will also be showcasing key findings from his most recent book, Principles of Management: Practicing Ethics, Responsibility, Sustainability.

This webinar in the MethodSpace Live series of online events reflects that website’s May and June focus on collecting data online. In this edition, MethodSpace’s own Janet Salmons talks one-on-one with the Luke Sloan of the University of Cardiff on their various approaches to conducting research digitally and at a remove from the subjects, often through social media.

Right-wing politics have entered the mainstream of European and American societies. But this is not a trend that began with Brexit or Trump. How did the normalization of xenophobic and populist rhetoric take place? How have various governments contributed to its rise? Does it pose a challenge to the future of liberal democracies?

These are questions we will be exploring with expert panellists who have carefully studied and written on this subject. Between them they bring a variety of angles including the use of language and the media, globalization, modes of governance and social attitudes. This is a free virtual event and a live Q&A session will be open to attendees at the end of the discussion.

Fake news is not a phenomenon that started with Trump nor will it end with his removal from office. Situating this concept within a wider social and political context will better equip us to understand and deal with fake news. In tandem with the publishing of What Do We Know and What Should We Do About Fake News? by Nick Anstead, SAGE Publishing will be hosting an event that discusses the topic by giving an introduction to what the term means followed by a sweep of what we know about it and crucially what we can do to tackle fake news.

Nick will be joined by journalists Irina Borogan and Salil Tripathi and moderated by The Conversation’s Stephen Khan. After a discussion that brings together academic and professional views and experiences, the floor will be open for a live Q&A.

The Social Science Research Council and SAGE Publishing are pleased to present a series of conversations—REIMAGINING SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS—a public forum focused on the work of cultivating equitable, anti-racist social institutions.
