[MEDIA] Social Creatures for @ManMetUni #DigitalParenting

The week after my operation, I contributed to this article … my quotes pretty much open/close it:

Read the magazine online via issuu. Other stories in Man Met Magazine include a ‘focus on health and wellbeing and you can read about healthcare devolution in Manchester, the training of nurses, improvements in social care and tackling disease. Plus we have interviews with our sports scholar and Paralympic star Kadeena Cox, the Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham and Professor Michael Callaghan, who undertakes physiotherapy roles at the University, in the NHS and with Manchester United FC.’

Best of British: Past and Present

One for the nostalgics… interesting to see how history is reconstructed, especially in a magazine which is popular overseas! “The UK’s best-read nostalgia monthly: Founded in 1995, Best of British celebrates our glorious past – and all that’s best about Britain today. The blend of cherished memories from yesteryear with features celebrating the people and the places that make Britain so special as established Best of British as a firm favourite with folks all around the world.”

History Today

History Today is a unique cultural institution, bringing the best in historical writing and research to a wide audience. The magazine created the concept of popular history, mixing styles, genres and periods to achieve a fusion of intellectual excitement and readability.

As the world’s premier, and probably oldest, history magazine, we have been published monthly in London since January 1951. Our founder was the enigmatic Brendan Bracken, Minister of Information during the Second World War, publisher of the Financial Times and faithful lieutenant of Winston Churchill. We have been independently owned since 1980.

History Today publishes essays on all periods, regions and themes of history, many of them by the world’s leading scholars. All are carefully edited and illustrated to make the magazine a pleasurable, as well as an informative, read. The depth of our archives can be explored via the search option at the top of each page.”

One of those journals that spans the gulf between academic and popular, maybe getting an article in here is not so well regarded as that of an “truly academic”, but inspiring others to be interested in understanding who they are and how they got here (historical/cultural understanding) – I regard that as key. I have fun following History Today on Twitter!
