Media and public sociology

Tymofii Brik has contributed to various media outlets internationally (The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, NPR), and in Ukraine (TSN, Suspilne, Babel, and Forbes). He has also appeared on various platforms and podcasts to discuss topics such as poverty, inequalities, values, identities, religiosity, trust in institutions, as well as providing insights on interpreting sociological data, sampling design, and questionnaires. In addition, he has delivered open lectures and workshops, and recorded video lectures for free online courses on platforms like Coursera and Edera.

Since 2024, Brik has co-hosted «Соціологія показала» (“Sociology Showed”), a Ukrainian-language podcast produced with Babel and its editor-in-chief Kateryna Kobernyk, now in its second season. Each episode takes a question already being argued about online — trust, money, love, generational conflict, identity — and answers it with what sociological research actually shows, not what feels true. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
