From October 2013 Dr Mark Haliwood will be a Lecturer in Early Modern British History at St Hilda’s College, Oxford, following a year as a Lecturer in Early Modern British History at Cambridge. Prior to this he spent the summer of 2012 as Francis Bacon Fellow at the Huntington Library, California, where he was working on my first monograph: Alehouses and Good Fellowship in Early Modern England, which is due for publication with Boydell and Brewer in 2014.

The book grows out of his doctoral research, undertaken at the University of Warwick (2007-2010). Since completing his doctorate Mark has held an Institute of Advanced Study Early Career Fellowship at Warwick - during which time he co-founded the Warwick Drinking Studies Network - and teaching posts at Cardiff University and the University of Bristol.

In 2011 Mark was the Economic History Society Tawney Fellow, jointly based at the Institute of Historical Research in London, and the University of Exeter. This fellowship allowed him to develop his new research interest: the history of work in early modern England. During the fellowship he focused in particular on the occupational identity of the ‘tradesman’ in the seventeenth century, and in future he plans to undertake a project on work activities and time-use.
