Career[edit]
Hodgson completed his BA (Hons) and MA at Teesside University and then completed his PhD at Northumbria University under the supervision of Joe Street and Tony Badger. Hodgson was Badger's 37th and final PhD student before his retirement as a professor.[1] His thesis was titled "Californians and others: marginalised children and the Golden State during the Great Depression." The fifth chapter of the thesis implicated the state of California in covering up the circumstances of children's deaths in custody at Whittier State School.[2]
Hodgson has subsequently lectured at Northumbria University and the University of Roehampton.[3] He currently serves as an ECR Board Member of the journal History: The Journal of the Historical Association.[4][5] In 2022 he was awarded the Scottish Association for the Study of America's Ellen Craft Prize.[6]
Journalism[edit]
Hodgson's work has appeared in major news outlets including Business Insider, Newsday, the San Antonio Express-News and the Washington Post.[7][8][9][10]
In January 2020 Hodgson criticized U.S. Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin in the Washington Post over his comments about climate activist Greta Thunberg's age and education.[11] Multiple academics cited Hodgson's article to argue that there was such as thing as juvenile ageism and discrimination against young people in elements of society and the pattern of belittlement of youth activists by adult politicians.[12][13] In January 2022 Hodgson criticized New York Governor Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams for their dismissive response to student protests in New York schools over a lack of measures to combat rising Covid-19 transmission.[14] In May 2022 Hodgson described the U.S. Supreme Court as a front for "Christian white nationalist minority rule" in the magazine New Politics after the leaked draft ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade.[15] In November 2022, Hodgson's essay in the Washington Post accused U.S. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh of hypocrisy over his condemning child labor abroad but not taking action over child labor in U.S. agriculture, which Hodgson's essay traced back the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act.[16]
Academic publications[edit]
Hodgson's work includes cases studies of children's history such as analysis of Harry Eisman and other children's Communist activism as part of the Young Pioneers of America and the theory of researching and writing about the history of childhood. He advocates for historians to use children's drawings in their research in order to incorporate more youthful perspectives into the historical narrative.[4][17][18][19]
