Making up for lost time
A small‐scale qualitative case study of students at a post‐1992 university in England sought to understand the nuanced experiences of returning to face‐to‐face study following the pandemic. Whilst much has been written about the effects of studying online, much less is known about how students adapted once they returned to campus‐based delivery. Specifically, the paper focuses on student motivations to pursue higher education, and the ways that t…
Beyond ‘the choice to drink’ in a UK guideline on Fasd
In many countries, official guidance promotes alcohol abstinence to women during, and also before, pregnancy, on the basis of concern about Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Guidance has moved away from reference to a ‘choice to drink’, claiming absence of evidence about safety of even ‘low level’ drinking as a justification. Scholarship drawing on sociologies of risk and uncertainty has drawn attention to problems with precautionary think…
Post-Brexit Boomer blaming
Following the UK's 2016 Referendum on membership of the European Union (EU), a narrative emerged positioning Baby Boomers as 'to blame' for the result, which drew largely on a pre-existing claim that this generation is responsible for a range of contemporary social problems. Using cultural script analyses of the 'Baby Boomer problem', this article considers the development of this narrative and its implications for the sociology of knowledge. A s…

Generational Encounters with Higher Education
The Corona Generation
What impact will Covid-19 have on ‘Generation Z’? Sociologist Jennie Bristow and her 16-year-old daughter, Emma, explore the symbolic significance of the Spring 2020 lockdown for the generation coming of age. Drawing on their own reflections, and a snapshot of young adults’ experiences in the UK and US, they reflect on the impact of isolation, cancelled exams, school closures and reliance on social media, in the context of a culture of fear and g…
Stop Mugging Grandma
Millennials have been incited to regard their parents' generation as entitled and selfish, and to blame the baby boomers of the 1960s for the cultural and economic problems of today. But is it true that young people have been victimized by their elders? This book looks at generational labels and the groups of people they apply to. It argues that the prominence and popularity of terms like ‘baby boomer’, ‘millennial’, and ‘snowflake’ in mainstream…
Stop Mugging Grandma
A decisive intervention in the "war" between generations, asking who stands to gain from conflict between baby boomers and millennials Millennials have been incited to regard their parents’ generation as entitled and selfish, and to blame the baby boomers of the Sixties for the cultural and economic problems of today.

Preliminary Data Linking American Consumer Perceptions with Unauthorized Migration to the U.S
The Sociology of Generations
This book suggests that the enduring problem of generations remains that of knowledge: how society conceptualises the relationship between past, present and future, and the ways in which this is trans
The making of 'Boomergeddon
High-profile claims about the problem of the 'Baby Boomer' generation, made in media and policy circles in recent years, have contributed to an awakened interest in the sociology of generations. While many claims focus on resource issues arising from the existence of a relatively large cohort (for example, pensions and healthcare), they contain an implicit moral critique of the generation associated with the postwar 'boom' of the Sixties. This ar…
Baby Boomers and Generational Conflict
The dominant cultural script is that the Baby Boomers have 'had it all', thereby depriving younger generations of the opportunity to create a life for themselves. Bristow provides a critical account o
Parenting Culture Studies

Reporting the Riots
This article reviews the results of a small study of the national British newspapers in the period immediately following the 2011 riots, which analyses the ways in which political and media discourse linked the riots to the problem of 'parenting'. It examines three discourses that arise from this linkage: (a) a generalised 'moral collapse'; (b) the specific problem of 'troubled families'; and (c) parenting policy and the problem of discipline. Fr…
Risk, health and parenting culture
In this Editorial, we have three aims. We mainly aim to highlight the key issues raised in the papers that follow, and orient readers to some thematic and methodological connections between them. We have divided the papers into three thematic groups: expert-led constructions of the risk-managing parent; risk society and the development of parental identity with reference to food; and extending ‘parenting’ backwards. We explain what we mean by the…
