So curious?thenSOCurious_PhD
SOCurious_PhD is a YouTube channel that brings peer-reviewed social science to where many of us actually go looking for ideas. Hosted by Dr. PK, a sociology professor. She is curious about why some ideas, work, and people get taken seriously while others get dismissed — and why that’s rarely about quality alone.

About
Meet Dr. PK
Dr. PK has had the good fortune to share her work at universities and professional associations around the world, including an invitation to speak at the Nobel Symposium in Stockholm (yes, that Nobel!).
Her research has been discussed in The Washington Post, The Times Literary Supplement (UK), The Nation, n+1, Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany), The New York Journal of Books, Quill and Quire (Canada), and Gawker, among others.
But now you can just catch her on YouTube.
With SOCurious_PhD, Dr. PK wants to help connect the rigor of social science to everyday life, conversation, and problem-solving — and to show what that can look like.
