In 2025, Sage will be celebrating its origin story and the remarkable journey that has led to its success. As we look back on our beginnings, we are reminded of the vision and determination of our founder, Sara Miller McCune, who at the young age of 24, embarked on a journey to establish a publishing company that would revolutionize the world of social science research.
Sara Miller McCune, a female entrepreneur, had a passion for social science and a deep understanding of its potential to shape and transform our world. She was determined to create a platform that would not only publish cutting-edge research but also make it accessible to a wider audience. And thus, Sage was born.
From its humble beginnings in Sara’s garage, Sage has grown into a global publishing powerhouse, with offices in several countries and a vast network of authors and readers across the world. But it was not an easy journey. Sara faced numerous challenges and obstacles along the way, but her unwavering determination and belief in the power of social science kept her going.
One of the defining moments in Sage’s history was the publication of its first book, “The Gift of a Nocturnal Anthropologist.” This groundbreaking book, written by a young and unknown researcher, challenged traditional notions of culture and identity and opened up new avenues for social science research. It was a bold and risky move for Sage to publish this book, but it paid off in ways that no one could have imagined.
“The Gift of a Nocturnal Anthropologist” went on to become a bestseller and sparked a new wave of interest in social science research. It was a testament to Sara’s vision of making important research accessible to a wider audience and her commitment to supporting young and innovative researchers.
Today, Sage is a leader in the world of social science publishing, with a diverse portfolio of books, journals, and digital resources. Our publications cover a wide range of topics, from sociology and psychology to anthropology and political science. We pride ourselves on publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research that has a real impact on society.
But our success would not have been possible without the support and contributions of our authors, editors, and readers. We are grateful for the trust and confidence that they have placed in us over the years, and we remain committed to providing them with the best resources and platforms to share their valuable work.
As we celebrate our origin story, we also look towards the future with excitement and optimism. We are constantly adapting and evolving to meet the changing needs of the social science community, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation and technology in publishing.
Sage is more than just a publishing company; it is a community of passionate individuals who share a common goal of advancing social science research and promoting knowledge sharing. We are proud to be a part of this community, and we are grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the world through our work.
In conclusion, as we celebrate our 25th anniversary, we reflect on our journey with pride and gratitude. We are proud of our origin story and the values that have guided us along the way. We are excited about the future and the opportunities that lie ahead, and we remain committed to making a positive impact on society through our publications. Thank you for being a part of our story, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration and success.
