Mike Hardey | Sociologist
My outstanding father. Academic. Thinker. Sociologist. My fan until 2012.
Mike Hardey was a medical sociologist.
Before his sudden passing in 2012, Mike was researching and teaching students at the Hull-York Medical School (HYMS), and a friendly face around SATSU at the University of York.
To my mind, Mike was always a social theorist. Ever since his long-haired hippie days as a student at the University of Essex, where he graduated with his Masters, and when he unexpectedly was left literally holding me as a babe in arms. Mike was a father and a single-parent from the start, hence his first monograph: Lone Parenthood and involvement with the single parent organisation Gingerbread. He was a strong advocate for father's rights.
Covering all of Mike's research would, nicely, run to thousands of digital pages: from the social history of lone-parenthood where his research commenced and to (oh the irony) understanding men's health and self-diagnosis of illness as part of mHealth.
I've compiled a growing list of his works right here...
Mike was also responsible for ensuring I am an enduring fan of Apple Macs.
