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.

In this episode, hosts Dr Sara Black and Dr Pippa Sterk speak with Dr Tania de St Croix and Louise Doherty about their research into how youth work is being reshaped by impact measurement and policy reform.
Having started off as youth workers, both Tania and Louise journeyed into academia through their desire to research the field within which they worked, which has been the subject of continual budget cuts and changes implemented by policy. They joined forces on the research project ‘Rethinking impact, evaluation and accountability in youth work’ in 2017.
Drawing on their article “Embers and Fragments,” they reflect on the pressures of proving value in a field rooted in trust, relationships, and voluntary participation. Together, they challenge the rise of a deficit-based model that demands evidence from marginalised young people, and explore how creative, critical research can help protect the future of youth work.
