Welcome to Academic Blogs

Welcome to AcademicBlogs, a network of research blogs at the University of Glasgow. The network provides an alternative and dynamic channel to engage with research at the University— ranging from single-author blogs that discuss activities in a discrete research area, through to multi-author blogs run by one of our research units. We also include several ‘adopted blogs’, which pre-date the network, but are official blogs for research units at the University.

The University has also recently partnered with The Conversation, which provides another outlet for discussion
