In this interview historian Professor Martin Daunton shares his experience of his honorary degree from the University. Professor Daunton is a leading historian of modern Britain, and is credited with having bridged the divide between economics and history in his writing and teaching. He read economic history at The University of Nottingham, where he found an interest in urban history which has continued to be a theme in his work, starting with his PhD thesis at the University of Kent and continuing in a study of housing, and the editorship of the modern volume of the Cambridge Urban History of Britain. He taught at the University of Durham and at UCL, where he was Astor Professor of British History, before moving to the University of Cambridge in 1997 as Professor of Economic History and, from 2004, Master of Trinity Hall. Professor Daunton received an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.
