Centering the voices of the silenced
Through Critical Inquiry
Whether its the murder of unarmed Black men and women by the police, and the Black Lives Matters (BLM) protests that erupt in hundreds of cities across the US and the globe or the sex abuse scandals swirling around men like Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein, which viral under #MeTOO we bring a critical lens to understanding the most complex social issues facing the United States today. We fight for voices and lives so that they can be seen. So that they matter.

As sociologists, our focus is less on individual people, though individual stories are our data, and we often tell the compelling stories of people we’ve interviewed, like Keisha who was shackled while she delivered her newborn or Darryl who spent 20 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
