Social Science Data as a Challenge for Contemporary History
Educators’ experiences of pivoting online: Unearthing key learnings and insights for engaging students online
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that online teaching in higher education became the default. Educators were, and often now continue to be, required to pivot to online teaching, necessitating them to adapt their teaching delivery, effectively engage students online, and apply existing skills to new and unfamiliar pedagogical contexts. This paper presents a small international case study, investigating the experiences of a diverse group o…

Penguin Books and Political Change: Britain’s Meritocratic Moment, 1937-1988. By Dean Blackburn
This is a tightly organized intellectual history of the middle decades of the twentieth century seen through the distinctive and culturally important lens of Penguin Books. The fact that it is available as a trade book from Manchester University Press is an added bonus. Although it does not purport to be a history of Penguin Books, it does draw many significant insights from the Penguin Archive now deposited at Bristol University. Shifts in edito…
Inter-group violence among early Holocene hunter-gatherers of West Turkana, Kenya
Intuitive eating is associated with glycaemic control in adolescents with type I diabetes mellitus
Social-Science Encounters and the Negotiation of Difference in early 1960s England
This article argues that exploring the interpersonal dynamics of social-science interviews can help us recast the conclusions of classic social surveys. Its focus is the original fieldwork undertaken for Goldthorpe and Lockwood’s influential anti-revisionist study of affluent workers in 1960s England. In this study, the class gulf between Luton car workers and Cambridge academics mattered more than is sometimes recognized, but its effects were su…
Class, ‘Affluence’ and the Study of Everyday Life in Britain, c . 1930–64
This article seeks to place the debate about affluent working-class people in the inter-war and post-war periods within the broader context of long-term economic and social change. It explores why important structural changes were ignored for a long time, and how they came into view as the focus of professional social inquiry shifted following the Second World War, only to be reconceptualized as a new 'social problem' in the politically driven co…
Pioneers of Modernity
Though it doesn't make it on to the cover, it is the sub-title that takes you to the heart of James Hinton's important new study of the private and public lives of nine Mass-Observation (M-O) diarists in the nineteen-thirties and forties. For sure, we follow each of his characters through the war years, but it is always the self, rather than the war, that looms largest in the telling. Hinton is clear that the war could offer new contexts and, for…
Identities and Social Change in Britain since 1940: The Politics of Method. By Mike Savage
Mike Savage has long explored the intersection of sociology and history. His influential first book, The Dynamics of Working-Class Politics (1987) adopted a rigorously materialist, structural approach to the study of class and class politics between 1880 and 1940, arguing that ‘people’s day-to-day practices are only weakly affected by any wider cultural values’ (p. 5). It is therefore striking that whilst his new monograph begins where the first …
County Borough Elections in England and Wales, 1919-1938: A Comparative Analysis. Vol. III: Chester-East Ham
This is the third in a projected series of eight volumes collating and analysing the annual municipal election results of all eighty-three English and Welsh county boroughs between the wars. With more than a third of the boroughs now covered (this volume takes the tally to twenty-nine) the authors are able to draw some interesting conclusions about trends in party support between the wars. Since only Labour consistently stood under its own colour…
