Gareth Stedman Jones FBA (born 17 December 1942) is an English academic and historian.[1] As Professor of the History of Ideas at Queen Mary, University of London, he deals particularly with working-class history and Marxism.[2]
Career
Educated at St Paul's School and Lincoln College, Oxford, where he graduated in history in 1964, Stedman Jones went on to Nuffield College, Oxford to take a DPhil in 1970.[citation needed]
He moved to Cambridge in 1974, becoming a fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and in 1979, a lecturer in history. He was a research fellow at Nuffield College, Oxford, from 1967 to 1970, a senior associate member of St Antony's College, Oxford, in 1971–1972, and an Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung Fellow, Department of Philosophy, Goethe University, Frankfurt in 1973–1974, before becoming a lecturer in history at Cambridge in 1979–1986 and a reader in history of social thought there in 1986–1997.[3] He has served as co-director of the Centre for History and Economics at King's since 1991 and held the post of professor of political science since 1997.[4]
From 1964 to 1981 Stedman Jones served on the editorial board of the New Left Review. He was a joint founder of the History Workshop Journal in 1976.[citation needed]
In 2018, reviewing Stedman Jones's intellectual evolution, historian Terence Renaud described a "journey from the New Left, through French structuralism, to a contextualist practice of intellectual history that leaves Marxism behind."[5]
