Our world afresh, through the eyes of sociologists.
Brought to you by The Sociological Review, Uncommon Sense is a space for questioning taken-for-granted ideas about society – for imagining better ways of living together and confronting our shared crises. Hosted by Rosie Hancock in Sydney and Alexis Hieu Truong in Ottawa, featuring a different guest each month, Uncommon Sense insists that sociology is for everyone – and that you definitely don’t have to be a sociologist to think like one!

I am an Associate Professor in the Criminology Department at the University of Ottawa. My research focuses on themes of mental health, violence towards women, transitions into adulthood and popular culture in Canada and Japan. I also specialise in research methods, both qualitative and quantitative.
I am a Lecturer and Co-convener of the Religion and Global Ethics programme in the Institute for Ethics & Society at The University of Notre Dame Australia. As a sociologist of religion, I research the engagement of religious actors in grassroots politics, specialising in environmental politics. I tweet @rosiejhancock.
