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.

We kickstarted Season 2 of ‘It’s Just Research: Critically Questioning the world we live in,’ with our hosts catching up. And on this episode we have our first guest of the season, Dr Sophie Perry.
Hosts Dr Pippa Sterk and Liam Cini O'Dwyer are joined by Sophie Perry, a Lecturer in the School of Education, Communication and Society. Sophie shares with us her research into transformative educational practices and why she thinks education must change in order to address growing inequalities and accelerating social and environmental issues.
We also dig deep into the prevalence and problematic nature of ‘grind culture’ in the education sector, where Sophie challenges the presumption that ‘grind culture’ is the only way to make meaningful change.
