Research Interests
John Welshman's research interests are at the interface of contemporary history, social policy, and public health. He was a member of the Wellcome Trust's History of Medicine Funding Committee (2006-09), and his current work falls into five main areas: · the use of autobiographical material in the writing of history; the history of the debate over transmitted deprivation in the period 1972-82, and its links with current policy on child poverty and social exclusion; the history of the concepts of unemployability and worklessness; the history of tuberculosis, medical examination, and migration, in both the UK and Australia; and the history of care in the community since 1948, especially for people with learning disabilities.
Recent articles have been published in Children & Society (2008 and 2010); Contemporary British History (2009); Economic History Review (2006); the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health (2006 and 2007); the Journal of Social Policy (2004); the Political Quarterly (2006); Social History of Medicine (2006 and 2012); and Twentieth Century British History (2005 and 2008).
His books include Underclass: A History of the Excluded, 1880-2000 (London and New York, Continuum, 2006), and a volume edited with Jan Walmsley, Community Care in Perspective: Care, Control, and Citizenship (London and New York, Palgrave, 2006). His history of the debate over transmitted deprivation in the 1970s has been published as From Transmitted Deprivation to Social Exclusion: Policy, Poverty, and Parenting (Bristol, Policy Press, 2007, paperback edition 2012). He has published a social history of the evacuation of schoolchildren during the Second World War, Churchill's Children: The Evacuee Experience in Wartime Britain (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2010). His most recent book is Titanic: The Last Night of a Small Town (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2012).
He is currently working on a second edition of his 2006 Underclass book, Underclass: A History of the Excluded, 1880-2000, to be published in 2013 by Bloomsbury.
Potential Doctoral Proposals
He supervises several doctoral students, and would welcome enquiries from students interested in any of his areas of research interest:
· the history of the debate over transmitted deprivation in the period 1972-82, and its links with current policy on child poverty and social exclusion
· the history of the concepts of unemployability and worklessness
· the history of tuberculosis, medical examination, and migration, in both the UK and Australia
· the history of care in the community since 1948, especially for people with learning disabilities
