Abstract

In this introductory essay for the Special Issue on Uranium, we provide an overview of the state of the research and ways forward for researchers and practitioners. We focus specifically on research and developments in: uranium and social justice, focusing on giving a brief historical overview; the global political-economic context; and environmental and social injustices related to uranium. We conclude with an overview of contributions to this discussion made by articles in the special issue and highlight ways forward for social scientists.
