Social Maps for Strange Times

I’m Matt Williams.  I’m a long-time social justice advocate. In the course of my activism, I got frustrated with the limits on what we were accomplishing and wanted to develop a deeper understanding of not only the causes of our social crisis, but also how to find ways to strategically solve them. That led me to get a PhD in sociology, with the goal of engaging in public sociology—making what I learned accessible to broader audiences and speaking to the social issues of today. The sociological ideas I learned provide us with useful ways to map the social world around us and navigate that terrain as people who believe a better world is possible. I want to share what I learned to empower folks to not just have a deeper understanding of the world around them, but also how we can all work together to transform social crisis into progressive social change.
