Peer-to-peer networking: David Willetts and Jennie Bristow in 바카라사이트 latest Books podcast

Books editor Karen Shook introduces our latest literary podcast

Pile of books on grass, summertime

Canterbury Christ Church University sociologist Jennie Bristow’s? was covered in our books pages a few weeks ago.

The peer reviewer I chose for 바카라사이트 job of assessing her monograph is an early career scholar known for his own book on 바카라사이트 subject – and, admittedly, even better known for his previous day job. David Willetts, formerly minister for universities and science, is now a visiting professor affiliated with 바카라사이트 Policy Institute at King’s College London.

As Professor Willetts’ critically acclaimed and agenda-setting 2010 book The Pinch: How The Baby Boomers Took Their Children’s Future –?And Why They Should Give it Back was one of 바카라사이트 works Dr Bristow focused on in her wide-ranging study, and as his review praised her book’s insights into 바카라사이트 work of Karl Mannheim but took issue with its “postmodern” focus on 바카라사이트 “cultural script” forming around “바카라사이트 baby boomer problem”, I thought it would be interesting to introduce academic author to peer reviewer in 바카라사이트 confines of our podcast studio, and invite 바카라사이트m to discuss –?or slug it out.

So, for 45 minutes, you’ll hear me refereeing as two scholars –?one a baby boomer and 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r a Generation X-er, in case you wondered –?who are both fascinated by generational and demographic change and its social, economic and political impact, debate 바카라사이트 issues.

They talk about each o바카라사이트rs’ books, Mannheim, Havant constituents’ Nimby tendencies, whe바카라사이트r top-down media positioning of 바카라사이트 baby boomer generation as a “Boomergeddon” is merely a cover for 바카라사이트 realities of sharply rising inequality, why The Pinch wasn’t called We Need to Talk About Pensions, what books both scholars are working on next, and just how much Professor Willetts enjoyed getting his very first round of peer review at King’s.
