Crisis and Scandal
The history of public health in the United Kingdom is often based around local responses. Historians have noted that political and medical alliances effectively determined the character of public health provision. The importance of this can be measured by the fact that Northern Ireland had traditionally lagged far behind the rest of the United Kingdom in the years following devolution. However, between 1939 and 1944, this began to change and woul…

The heretic in Darwin's court
Cleansing Rural Dublin
The South Dublin Poor Law Union, the subject of this short pamphlet, covered one of the most populous districts of Dublin together with an extensive suburban/rural hinterland. It was particularly afflicted by all the problems of urban development and poverty experienced at the end of the nineteenth century, its mortality rates being some of the highest in Ireland
Alfred Russel Wallace, Robert Owen and the theory of natural selection
Whereas there has been considerable debate about the social context of Darwin's theory of natural selection, much less focus has been placed upon Alfred Russel Wallace. This article looks at Wallace's socialism and, in particular, the influence upon his thought of the early nineteenth-century socialist Robert Owen. It argues that a case can be made for seeing Wallace's thought about nature and natural selection in the years up to 1858 in the cont…

Eugenics in Ireland
In 1927 a classic textbook of human genetics made the following remark: We are coming to recognise more and more clearly that racial factors and especially hereditary mental factors, although they work (it cannot be too often repeated) in conjunction with other factors, are among the most influential in determining the course of a nation’s history . . . What historians regard as degeneration, sickness and ageing of a nation, what they look on as …

British scientists, Lysenko and the Cold War
This study describes the impact of the Lysenko controversy in Britain. In particular, it delineates the way in which it became part of the means by which science and ideologies about scientific work were restructured during the forties and early fifties. As such the Lysenko controversy in Britain had, like its Soviet counterpart, social and political roots and effects

The social history of Darwin's Descent of Man
This paper covers two major contentious points in the history of the relationship between the sciences and social thought - the question of the character of ideological intervention within the sciences and the effect of a scientific discovery upon the ideological and cultural milieu in which it appears. In particular it uses the construction of Darwin's Descent of Manto illustrate a number of general points about this relationship
