Blogging- The new research dissemination strategy?

We spoke to a real life ‘pracademic’ (n. someone working at the interface of research and practice) on the value of blogging for research dissemination. Blogging has come a long way in recent years, becoming a platform for many academics previously accused of inhabiting ivory towers, who now advertise the potential or real impact their research can have on society. Martin Webber is our ‘pracademic’ who has created a successful blog on the ‘holy trinity’ of social work-research, practice and education. Here he discusses the power of blogging as a research dissemination tool.
