Get Involved

Thank you for your interest!

If you are a student or member of staff at Newcastle University and you’ve recently been to a conference or event, taken a study trip, or have some interesting research findings to share, we’d love you to write about it. We also welcome reflections on current events.

How to get involved

  1. FIRST, send a quick e-mail to us at sociologyblog@newcastle.ac.uk with one or two sentences about the event or topic you want to write about and what you plan to say.
  2. We’ll let you know if we think it’s right for the blog and give you feedback on your ideas and angle. We’ll also discuss some potential headlines for your blog at this stage, so you know what to aim for.
  3. We’ll agree a deadline that works for everyone involved. You can then write your 600-800 word blog.
  4. Once you’ve submitted your blog, we’ll review and edit it. We may also come back to you with requests for revisions.
  5. Your blog is published
