A quick round up of good sociology blogs

At the moment there seems to be very little out there from the United Kingdom – most blogs seem to be American, so I have kept this to a manageable list  – I will add more sites as I deem appropriate!

http://tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/sociology/ – A good, UK focussed blog on sociology issues – covers some of the same ground I intend to.

http://www.polity.co.uk/giddens6/default.asp – The blog accompanying Anthony Gidden’s undergraduate text book.

http://averypublicsociologist.blogspot.com/ – I think this bloke might work in a university – very activist focussed and recommended! – This guy appears to be an info Junkie!

http://globalsociology.com/ – a good US blog full of book reviews.

http://thesociallens.wordpress.com/ – a US blog updated by two people – lots of topical issues all be it with a US focus.  

A word on information overload – don’t get freaked out by the sheer amount of information in these blogs – You can get the impression from some of them that these people know everything, when quite often they are just firing off quick links to other peoples sites. No one is superhuman (with the possible exception of Noam Chomsky) when it comes to digesting information – just process what you can!

Also, remember that quite often it can be better to learn a less knowledge in depth rather than spreading yourself too thin –specialise in one small area and let everything else flow from there…

  1. Came across your post about lack of UK sociology blogs. I do a twitter blog (@sociologyblog) and also have a linked blog on my personal website janepilcher.me.uk.

    Thanks for your efforts.
