Biography
Stefan Ramsden is post-doctoral researcher at University of Hull, UK. After a decade working in the museums sector, he decided to pursue his interest in working-class history through returning to full-time study, and completed a PhD in 2013. Since then he has worked as a history teacher, lecturer and researcher in the University of Hull.
"Working-Class Community offers an important contribution to the history of affluence and the working classes in modern Britain that should appeal to researchers interested in the interactions between people, society and places. This long-term study shows that affluence was a time of both continuity and change rather than transformation, providing an analysis of different life stages and contexts to critique narrow conceptualisations of community. Reasserting the value of the local, Working-Class Community showcases the complexity that underpinned working-class sociability throughout the twentieth century." — Isabelle Carter in Contemporary British History, 33:2, 290-291.
