It’s Just Research is a podcast produced by the School of Education, Communication & Society (ECS) at King’s College London, that demystifies research while offering a critical outlook onto the global challenges we face in the 21st century.

Bringing to light the behind-the-scenes of research, the interviewees will unpack the research concepts, theoretical and methodological approaches, and ambitions for social change driving their diverse interests – from sociolinguistics, education technology and its effects on social inequality, youth work, post-colonial community building, health ethics, to science and mathematics, sustainability and ecological approaches to education.

A new episode is released on the first Tuesday of each month.

Hosted by ECS academic Dr Sara Black and PhD students Liam Cini O'Dwyer and Pippa Sterk; executive produced by Sylvie Carlos, PhD student in ECS and audio producer.

Three activists. Their ideas, their work, their lasting importance.

In this special short series of audio essays from the Sociological Review Foundation, three expert guests introduce us to key figures in the story of UK anti-racism, illuminating how they show us what that term really means – and what it takes – but also how their work and ideas speak to sociology, too, and deserve to be better known.

Starting the series, John Narayan – Chair of the Council of the Institute of Race Relations – explains Ambalavaner Sivanandan’s take on global technology, exploitation and anti-racist resistance. In the second episode, A.S. Francis celebrates Gerlin Bean as the “mother of the Black women’s movement” in the UK, whose life of committed activism exemplified theory in action – and whose story leads us to ask how we represent individual activists who so passionately valued the collective. And in the third episode, Hannah Ishmael – former archivist at Black Cultural Archives – describes the importance of the determined archivist and educational activist Len Garrison, whose work raises crucial questions about history and identity, self-esteem and self-recognition.

Yelling at concrete isbi-weekly podcast for coffee and conversation, taking a look at the life and interests of the guests who chat with me as well as taking an introverted look at topics I'm interested in!

Graham is an artist and passionate creative who thrives on generating conversation and discussion in a more abstract manner than just posing questions so three weeks out of each month with a one week breather he sits down to have a cuppa and chat. When guests come they bring their own topic so every episode is lead by the guests interests and what they want to discuss and the solo casts are wandering thoughts on subjects which interest Graham. The goal is keep the subjects diverse and give people a space to just have a chill and talk about what's really going on.

You can catch the show three times a month on a Friday and follow it through the year as Graham brings you a range of guests and topics. The key word is conversation so we don't edit we just talk and that allows us to relax and really get into subjects. I hope you'll join us.

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!

The Psychology Report is a discussion of current news and views in psychology, education, law enforcement, religion, social justice, and politics. Research and the writings of experts will be drawn upon for material used on the podcast

Sociology of Everything exists to give voice to the unseen. In a world where opportunities often favor the already influential, we uncover the overlooked talent, stories, and perspectives in today’s car culture. Elevating everyday enthusiasts and experts, we challenge the status quo by showing that meaningful insight and true talent come from every corner of the scene, not just the spotlight.

Sociology of Cars is a journey into how cars reflect people. Beyond the machines, we explore the social perceptions, identities, and personal stories intertwined with every vehicle. By focusing on both the driver and their world, we uncover how automotive culture is shaped not just by what people drive, but by who they are and how they are seen.

Sociology of Cars Podcast evolved from our video journey. While some stories are best seen, others, whether from pro drivers, behind-the-scenes realities, or the nuanced social dynamics and politics that visuals can’t capture, are best told. The podcast offers an audio space where we explore the psychology, unspoken dynamics, and personal reflections that add depth to car culture, beyond what a camera can capture.
