Another Sociologist on TV

Last week it was Greg Philo of Glasgow University, this week it’s Anthony King, Professor at Exeter, who turned up on Newsnight earlier this week. King did a PhD on - I think - football hooliganism at Salford University, then got a job at Exeter. With an interest in masculinity King unsurprisingly gravitated to military sociology (Exeter is near to several large Royal Marine bases) and now here he is on Newsnight, spouting forth about Afghanistan. Rather unconvincingly I felt, but never mind that. It does show the possibilities for sociologists - the subject is very broad. So work hard and you too could appear on Newsnight.
