ABSTRACT

The Whitehall studies of British civil servants, running from 1968 until the present day, are some of the most influential in twentieth century public health. Believing that the stratification that they observed among civil servants was replicated in wider society through the class system, the Whitehall researchers argued that inequality was a powerful force in society, literally embodied by incidence of disease. But as politicians and sociologists questioned the continuing relevance of class, this article explores how these studies reflected and were in conversation with prevailing social attitudes about inequality in end-of-century Britain.

“您还能从饱受阶级折磨的英国身上期待什么？”：怀特霍尔研究与健康不平等现象，1968年至2010年约

摘要

怀特霍尔（Whitehall）对1968年至今的英国公务员的研究是20世纪公共卫生领域最具影响力的研究。白厅大学的研究人员相信，他们在公务员中观察到的分层是通过阶级制度在整个社会中复制的，因此认为不平等是社会中的强大力量，实际上是疾病发病率所体现的。但是当政治家和社会学家质疑阶级的持续意义时，本文探讨了这些研究如何反映和与世纪末英国不平等现象的主流社会态度进行对话。
