John Belchem is an emeritus British professor whose work covers popular radicalism in 19th-century Britain, Irish migration, the Isle of Man, and modern history.[1] He has a special interest in the history of Liverpool.[2] He was made a fellow of the Royal Historical Society[3] in 1987 and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.[4]
Academic career
[edit]Belchem served as head of the School of History, dean of the Faculty of Arts and pro-vice chancellor of the University of Liverpool.[5][1] He is presently vice-president of the Society for the Study of Labour History.[6]
Belchem's 1985 work on Henry Hunt made a "major contribution to our understanding" of political strategies of progressive movements in 19th-century Britain.[7] Industrialization and the Working Class (1990) was viewed as a "lucid and wide-ranging survey of recent works on working-class movements and their context."[8] Popular Radicalism in Nineteenth-Century Britain (1996) was reviewed as an "excellent work" and a "valuable guide" to the literature on Chartism and the origins of the Labour Party.[9] Merseypride (2000), a collection of essays on the history of Liverpool, is considered to be a "valuable work...of a consistently high standard."[10] His Irish, Catholic and Scouse (2007) was noted to have made a "vital contribution to the historiography of the Irish in Britain."[11]
Other activities
[edit]Belchem worked on Liverpool's successful bid for UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2004.[12][13] In 2017,[14] he was appointed to the Liverpool mayor's task force, which assisted in efforts that ensured the city's status was not lost when under review by UNESCO in 2018.[15][16][17]
He was an adviser on Mike Leigh's 2018 film Peterloo.[18]
