We are indebted to the many current and former staff and students and others connected with Barnett House who consented to be interviewed. The book, however, is the views of the authors alone. We are grateful to our colleagues on the research team who have contributed their thinking and expertise, as well as trawling archives and conducting interviews – Dr Eve Colpus, Dr Katie Field, Jennifer Park, Kate Coxon, Katie Har and Antonina Santalova; and to the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (the latest of its many names, as readers of this book will find out) for their interest and financial help in producing this book, to the head of depart- ment, Professor Martin Seeleib-Kaiser, for writing a preface for us, and to administrative staff for their help, particularly Katherine Gardiner, Teena Stabler and Sarah Bryant. We owe special thanks to Sir Brian Harrison for guiding our steps in the last stages, and Anthony Weale, former secretary of faculties, who guided us in the matter of university administration (but cannot be held responsible for any remaining howlers); to Dr Jeremy Burchardt of the University of Reading; to John Hall, and Lawrence Goldman; and to Sir David Butler who gave us permission to use material from Violet Butler’s papers, the Carnegie UK Trust which has allowed us to use material and photographs, and Steve Bell for permission to use one of his early cartoons. We are grateful to the many archivists and librarians who have helped us find material, and allowed us to use material from their collections, including David Smith at St Anne’s College, Cliff Davies at Wadham, Oliver Mahoney at Lady Margaret Hall, and Clare Kavanagh at Nuffield College. We give very special thanks to Colin Harris and his colleagues at the Bodleian’s Special Collections, and to Alice Millea, Assistant Keeper of the archives in the Bodleian and her colleagues; to Helen Drury at the Oxford History Centre; and to Helen Ford at the University of Warwick’s Modern Records Centre. We also wish to thank the many individuals who have generously shared information, reminiscences, photographs and papers, and iv Acknowledgements helped with the construction of this book, including Bill MacKeith, and our long-suffering editors at DSM, Paul Stirner and Steve Moulds. We are deeply grateful to the Nuffield Foundation which has supported research projects at Barnett House for more than sixty years, and now this study. Its current director, Dr Sharon Witherspoon has watched over and encouraged us from the beginning, and its financial support has funded our research. The Nuffield Foundation is an endowed charitable trust that aims to improve social well-being in the widest sense. It funds research and innovation in education and social policy and also works to build capacity in education, science and social science research. The Nuffield Foundation has funded this project, but the views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the foundation. More information is available at www.nuffieldfoundation.org. We should finally underline that the book represents the views of the three authors, and not necessarily those of the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, the Social Sciences Division or the University of Oxford.

  • 'There's a Lot of People Who Say They Were at Rorke's Drift'
    ‘There’s A Lot of People Who Say They Were At Rorke’s Drift’ The problems which beset those trying to compile a definitive list of defenders. Ian Knight ___________________________________________________________________________ In his seminal work on the rolls of the 24th Regiment at iSandlwana and Rorke’s Drift, The Noble 24th (Savanah Books, 1999), the late Norman Holme observed ruefully that The defenders of Rorke’s Drift were comparatively few in number, furthermore the garrison mainly consisted of soldiers belonging to one Company of a particular Regiment. On the basis of these facts the accurate identification of the individual men present during the action on 22nd-23rd January 1879 would appear to be a relatively simple task; however, such is not the case. Indeed, it is not - nor, nearly fifteen years after Holme made that remark, and despite the continuing intense interest in the subject, is the task likely to get any easier. The fundamental problem lies with the incompleteness of contemporary records. The only valid sources are the rolls compiled by those who were in a position of authority at the time, and, whilst these agree on the majority of those present, there are contradictions, inaccuracies and omissions between them, and the situation is further complicated because it is impossible to arrive at a definitive conclusion on the question of who ought to have been there. The earliest roll of defenders seems to have been compiled by the senior officer at the action, Lieutenant John Chard of the Royal Engineers. As early as 25 January 1879 - two days after the battle - Chard produced an official report of the battle.

  • Henrietta Barnett: Co-Founder of Toynbee Hall, Teacher, Philanthropist and Social Reformer
    Henrietta Barnett: Co-founder of Toynbee Hall, teacher, philanthropist and social reformer. by Tijen Zahide Horoz For a future without poverty There was always “something maverick, dominating, Roman about her, which is rarely found in women, though she was capable of deep feeling.” n 1884 Henrietta Barnett and her husband Samuel founded the first university settlement, Toynbee Hall, where Oxbridge students could become actively involved in helping to improve life in the desperately poor East End Ineighbourhood of Whitechapel. Despite her active involvement in Toynbee Hall and other projects, Henrietta has often been overlooked in favour of a focus on her husband’s struggle for social reform in East London. But who was the woman behind the man? Henrietta’s work left an indelible mark on the social history of London. She was a woman who – despite the obstacles of her time – accomplished so much for poor communities all over London. Driven by her determination to confront social injustice, she was a social reformer, a philanthropist, a teacher and a devoted wife. A shrewd feminist and political activist, Henrietta was not one to shy away from the challenges posed by a Victorian patriarchal society. As one Toynbee Hall settler recalled, Henrietta’s “irrepressible will was suggestive of the stronger sex”, and “there was always something maverick, dominating, Roman about her, which is rarely found in women, though she was capable of deep feeling.”1 (Cover photo): Henrietta in her forties. 1.

  • David Donnison
    THE STEVENSON TRUST FOR CITIZENSHIP On the occasion of his 90th birthday….. Professor David Donnison ‘On Tap But Not on Top: Reflections on Academic Contributions to the Analysis of Social Problems and the Formulation of Social Policy’ Chair: Ruth Wishart With opening remarks from Professor Graham Watt, MD FRCGP FRSE FMedSci, Norrie Miller Chair of General Practice and Primary Care, University of Glasgow Tuesday, February 9th at 6 p.m. Sir Charles Wilson Lecture Theatre (Corner of Gibson Street and University Avenue) 2 INTRODUCTION It is a pleasure and an honour to introduce David Donnison. I have another friend, Dr Runa Mackay, who every November holds a fundraising event in Edinburgh for Medical Aid for Palestinians, a charity for which we have a common interest, regularly raising about five thousand pounds in a morning. When I commented how remarkable it was that she continues to do this at the age of 93, she was quick to point out that she was “only 92”. Our speaker this evening is “only 90”. No longer nimble on his feet, he continues to be nimble of mind. Since his 80th birthday lecture in 2005, he has completed two books and published a collection of poems in memory of Kay Carmichael. Emeritus professor, he is also a poet, painter, musician and occasional wild swimmer. He is described as “Britain’s foremost authority on social policy and administration”. The list goes on and on. David goes on and on. His CV includes schooling at Marlborough College, university at Oxford, academic posts at Manchester, Toronto, London and Glasgow, succeeding Richard Titmuss to the chair of Social Administration at the London School of Economics and chairing the Supplementary Benefits Commission, until it was abolished by Margaret Thatcher.

(2018) ‘Social Administration revisited – traditions of observational fieldwork and their value’, Social Policy and Administration Abstract This article revisits traditions of observational fieldwork inside welfare institutions which formed a core part of past Social Administration teaching and research in the UK. Drawing on archive materials, a historical exploration of journal contents and some supplementary interview data, it is argued that such approaches – though carried out in a less theoretically pluralist, more vocationally- oriented time for the subject of Social Policy and Administration – were at the same time valuable in facilitating critical perspectives on how welfare bureaucracies work.

    Notes Prologue 1 Haggard, Diary of an African Journey. 2 Rian Malan interview by Tim Adams, Observer Magazine, 25 March 2007. 1. Mehlokazulu’s fury: The killing of MaMtshali 1 The language spoken historically – with some regional variations – by the African people living in the area of modern KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. The reference to ‘Zulu’ of course post-dates the emergence of the Zulu kingdom as the dominant power in northern KwaZulu- Natal in the nineteenth century. 2 The supernatural ascendancy of men in battle was called ithonya, and the best diviners who specialized in warfare were said to be able to conjure mist. At dawn on 25 June 1879, at the height of the British invasion of Zululand, Zulus living on the left bank of the Thukela river launched a raid on African settlements and colonial outposts on the Natal side. The Zulu attack was masked by a dense mist which was said to have been conjured by one of the groups participating in the attack, the amaChube. Conversely, when a concentration of troops resisting the imposition of a poll tax in Natal, and led by the amakhosi Bhambatha and Mehlokazulu, was surrounded by troops at the mouth of the Mome Gorge on the morning in June 1906, the rebels attributed their complete failure to spot the approaching troops to the superiority of the Colonial forces’ ithonya. See C. de B. Webb and J.B. Wright (eds), The James Stuart Archive of Recorded Oral Evidence Relating to the History of the Zulu and Neighbouring Peoples, Vol. 3 (Pietermaritzburg and Durban, 1982), testimony of Mpatshana kaSodondo.
