New Society
''New Society'' was a weekly magazine of social inquiry and social and cultural comment, published in the United Kingdom from 1962 to 1988. It drew on the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, psychology, human geography, social history and social policy, and it published wide-ranging social reportage.

The idea was to create a comparable magazine about the social sciences. The cultural commentator Robert Hewison wrote that ''New Society'' became "a forum for the new intelligentsia", created by the expansion of higher education in Britain from the early 1960s.

Timothy Raison, its founding editor (1962–68), was later a Conservative MP fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
