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
The Conversation (UK) 
The Conversation is an independent source of news and views, sourced from the academic and research community and delivered direct to the public. Here you can read contributions from academic staff at the University of Glasgow.
