About
I am a social and cultural historian specialising in the history of race and immigration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In particular, I am interested in the ways in which racial ideas have been formulated and disseminated. I have spent several years researching the place of race in science, research which led to my 2008 monograph, Racial Science and British Society. I am at present writing a major new book on race relations and the media, looking in detail at the BBC’s attempts to deal with racial issues on television and radio in the 1960s and 1970s. Alongside my work on race, I am also interested in the history of immigrants and minorities, Jewish history, and the social history of modern warfare, especially the Second World War.
