Kevin Manton is lecturer at SOAS and Birkbeck, London, is an active researcher and has published numerous articles and three books on various aspects of British political history. The first of these was his PhD: Socialism and Education in Britain, 1883-1902; while the more recent are called Population Registration and Privacy in Britain, 1936-1984 and The Modern British Data State, 1945-2000. These both reflect his growing interest in how and why the state uses data.
