Social Justice: Politics, Technology and Culture for a Better World

Egg-heads in an ivory tower? Dreary boffins carrying out useless research at the tax-payer’s expense? Computer-nerds? Do such figures make you think of people working in humanities and social sciences in universities?

This book shows just how wrong such representations are!

These articles foreground the essentially political nature of such research - ‘political’ in the broad sense of being concerned with differences of power between people - as individuals, groups, races, sexes, nations. All of these articles show a strong commitment to a democratic sharing of power - to social justice.

The authors collected here represent a range of cutting-edge research in the Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Adelaide.
