Social Science for Public Good

Social Science for Public Good

Across the globe, practitioners are working to craft a more just and thriving world. Meanwhile, researchers are engaging in work fundamentally changing how we understand social dynamics. Unfortunately, there is not as much connection between these two spheres as there could be. The Social Science For Good Podcast aims to connect change agents and leaders to social science theories and research that might be relevant to their work in an accessible manner. Social Science for Public Good is a collaborative project of the Virginia Tech Institute for Policy and Governance and VT Publishing.
