On this episode of ‘It’s Just Research: Critically Questioning the world we live in,’ hosts Liam Cini O'Dwyer and Dr Sara Black discuss Sara's PhD research into critical geography and the sociology of trust.

This conversation explores how education is deeply tied to social justice through the lens of time and space. Dr Black explains how schools act as a microcosm of our relationship with the state, revealing broader patterns of mistrust in public institutions. She also unpacks how critical geography helps us understand who benefits from education and who is left behind, touching on issues of wealth, class, and access. The discussion also delves into how poverty manifests in time—how far ahead someone can plan their future—and how this affects everything from school applications to daily commutes.
