Drawing on empirical data, the book is a call to action which argues for a moral and personal duty to address social injustices using our privilege as academics. Research as activism requires you to go beyond the four walls of your university to actively respond to socio-political injustices.

It speaks to academics, students, and practitioners interested in LGBTQ+ identities, hate studies, online safety, and research as activism.
