HHB welcomes Evan Roberts - Professor of Population Studies at the University of Minnesota - as a HHB Researcher. His research interests are in the social and economic history of Australasia and North America in the 19th and 20th centuries. His works are focused especially on the United States and New Zealand, but also on Australian and Canadian history for its connections and comparisons with them. His current research projects are about (1) health and living standards in New Zealand from the early nineteenth century to the present, and (2) married women's work and the family economy in the United States between the Civil War and World War II.
