Contemporary British History MA

We are very to be offering our excellent MA in Contemporary British History to King’s students. I publish widely in the areas of social and economic history, Labour party history, women’s history and demographic history – for example, I’ve just edited a collection of essays on Unequal Britain: Equalities in Britain since 1945. Central London is a wonderful location in which to study contemporary history, with access to archives, libraries and the institutions which shape the modern world. As a co-manager of History & Policy (www.historyandpolicy.org) I contribute to events and briefings for politicians, civil servants and journalists as well as academics, and encourage students to consider how their work might contribute in a policy context.



My current work includes completing a book with Dr Tanya Evans on unmarried motherhood in twentieth century Britain, arising from an ESRC-funded project. With my colleagues, including Professor Richard Roberts and Dr Michael Kandiah, we offer outstanding teaching for the MA covering the political, social, economic, financial and diplomatic history of Britain in the twentieth century.
