A-level Sociology Study Group 2023-2024

Thanks for the love(?)
Also. I'm just the messenger trying to make things more understandable (but I get it that it may not always seem that way...)
And if you think I made your life hard, remember I spent 9 long months writing the book just to make things easier for students. And also to make money. Probably more to make money, but we can probably agree it's the thought that counts.

I get that bit (inflation’s eating us all alive). I enjoy reading your stuff, there’s a lot of things in there that simply blow my mind off, and I never knew I could ever like sociology but here we are. I just hate that I have to memorize it all you know. But eh, that’s not your problem. Thanks for writing a resourceful book.

Hey, I'm glad you like Sociology. And remembering stuff is easier if you're interested in it and, most importantly, are curious about it.

I’ll take that advice. Just one question though, was it fun working with Jonathan Blundell?

The thing is, I didn't actually work with him.

I’m curious to know how that worked out. Did you guys just do your respective parts of research (on your own) and then combine it at the end or something like that?

I wrote all of the 1st edition of the textbook. For the 2nd edition that I didn't have the time or the inclination to update, Blundell wrote the new chapter on Globalisation and added whatever updates were required.

I guess the 2nd edition got a makeover in terms of page design etc. but I wasn't involved in that because because my day job at ShortCutstv was taking most of my time.

And interest, if I'm honest. It's much more enjoyable making films than it is writing textbooks. I still keep my hand in by writing a blog (shortcutstv.com/blog) when the film stuff allows.

It’s great to see you doing what you love. I hope to do the same someday.
