Research

A social and cultural historian and oral history specialist, Dr Hazley's current research focuses on the human history of war and migration in the twentieth century. He has published widely on the Irish Diaspora in Modern Britain and the social and cultural history of the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’, and has in the past worked on the history of public housing in post-war Britain. He is the author of two books, including Life History and the Irish Migrant Experience in Post-war England: myth, memory and emotional adaption (MUP, 2020), and is currently researching a new monograph addressing the legacies of the Troubles in England, provisionally entitled Civil War & the Self: the Troubles in Post-Imperial England.
