Roger Bullock, Social Research Unit at Dartington
Roger Bullock is Emeritus Professor of Child Welfare Research at the University of Bristol and Chair of the Board of the Warren House Group, the charity that shelters the Social Research Unit.
Roger Bullock began work in 1965 as a researcher at the Research Centre, Kings College, Cambridge on a project into the effects of boarding education. In 1968, he moved to Dartington, Devon, to help establish the Social Research Unit. He was its Director until 2001 and is now a fellow of the Centre for Social Policy in the Warren House Group at Dartington, a set of research, development and dissemination activities concerned with children in need. He is also commissioning editor of Adoption and Fostering. His work is the subject of a Festschrift publication, Forty Years of Research, Policy and Practice (Axford, N., Berry, V., Little, M. and Morpeth, L. eds., Wiley, 2005).
Roger was Peter Townsend’s first graduate at the University of Essex, completing an MA in Social Administration in 1965 in the University’s first year of operation. As there were no undergraduates qualifying and as his name begins with B, he was first on the list of awards. Peter’s generous, conscientious and stimulating teaching and research during that year provided a model to follow.
