Department of History: Emeritus Professor John Ramsden (Obituary)
The Guardian p.33

Emeritus Professor John Ramsden has died aged 61. Professor Peter Hennessy described him as “a powerful force in the rise of arts and humanities” at the College, where he was a leading historian of the Conservative Party of his generation. “He was a great servant of his college, whether it was in running the halls of residence wardens' committee in the 1970s or during two stints as head of department, during the first of which he was instrumental in blending the history departments of Queen Mary and Westfield, when the colleges merged,” said Professor Hennessy. The Times Higher Education Supplement said Professor Ramsden "transformed understanding of British conservatism".
