| Social science has always been central to the study and practice of development as a source of expert knowledge on how societies work and what makes societies change. But where you stand on social change depends on where you sit. When the whole world is on fire, and our collective future is at stake, we need to learn to expand our imagination of what community, society, economy, and change mean. This means taking part in a dialogue among scholars, feminist activists, anticolonial thinkers, and people at the grassroots. When we look at society through multiple lenses, the invisible sources of injustice, oppression, suffering, and disease come into view. | Social science has always been central to the study and practice of development as a source of expert knowledge on how societies work and what makes societies change.
