Ben Griffin is an Associate Professor in Modern British History at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of History. His research focuses on the intersection of gender, masculinity, and political processes in Britain from the late eighteenth century onward. Notably, his book The Politics of Gender in Victorian Britain won the Royal Historical Society's Whitfield Prize (2012). He currently leads a project on The Gender Order and the Judicial Imagination, exploring legal knowledge's role in reshaping gender dynamics (1760–1960).
His work bridges historiography and empirical analysis, addressing how masculinity influences political elites and state institutions. Key themes include hegemonic masculinity, power structures, and legal frameworks shaping gender inequality. He has published widely in journals like Gender & History and Past & Present.
Griffin’s academic contributions span edited volumes, such as The Politics of Domestic Authority in Britain since 1800, and articles examining suffrage movements, parliamentary culture, and child welfare laws. His research underscores the necessity of integrating gender analysis into broader historical narratives.
