OT: Inside the ivory tower |
Inside the ivory tower

Blogging is allowing academics to develop and share their ideas with
an audience beyond the universities. But as Jim McClellan reports, not
everyone is convinced

Creating a blog to track the progress of your PhD thesis might seem
like the ultimate delaying tactic - a way to avoid ever actually
writing the thing itself. But for Esther MacCallum-Stewart, currently
doing a D.Phil thesis on popular culture during the first world war at
the University of Sussex, the opposite has been true. She began
blogging about her thesis (www.whatalovelywar.co.uk/war/) in February
2002, initially to keep track of the ideas she was developing. "I
realised I was making notes all over the place, and they weren't
making any sense at all."

Why would anyone care about popular culture at one Brit university?
