Dave Hill (Professor)
Encyclopedia
Dave Hill teaches at Middlesex University and is Visiting Professor of Critical Education Policy and Equality Studies at the University of Limerick, Ireland. His working-class background and consciousness fed in to his left-wing politics.
. His mother, a dressmaker, was from Spitalfields
and his father, a cabinet maker and carpenter, from Hackney. From teenage years he was brought up in Brighton in what was by then, a single parent family. His twin brother, John, also became a carpenter, (the fourth generation of carpenters in the family). His older brother, Roger, was also a carpenter for some years then latterly, a postman. He is also a talented artist.
At the age of 11 the twin brothers took the selective Eleven Plus
exam. Dave became the first in his family to pass the exam, and went to a grammar school, Westlain Grammar School in Brighton, unlike his brothers, who went to secondary modern schools.
This left him with a passionate hatred of selective schooling and of inequalities in education and society, as did his experiences as one of a minority of working class students at grammar school and at University in the 1960s. By then his parents had divorced, and the family lived in some poverty, with his mother leaving home at seven in the morning to work in a clothing factory, returning home at six in the evening. Both Dave Hill’s brothers left to work in unskilled and semi-skilled jobs at the age of 15. Dave Hill stayed on at school and received welfare benefits such as clothing coupons, free school meals, and the newly instituted grants for children from poor families to stay on at school after the age of 16. His brothers gave him pocket money.
He joined the Labour Party
on his sixteenth birthday in 1961, and at that age became Chair of Brighton Young Socialists
. In the same year, while a student at Westlain Grammar School, he organised and led the first of many demonstrations and protests- a protest against the United States naval blockade of Cuba - the Cuba Missile Crisis.
Dave Hill studied Politics and Modern History at Manchester University and subsequently gained Masters’ degrees in Politics, and in Education, at the University of Sussex
, and a PhD (a Marxist Analysis of Education Policy in Britain 1979–2002) at the London University Institute of Education, where his supervisor was Geoff Whitty
.
, the Conservative Member of Parliament. His results were particularly good and he was termed 'charismatic' by the local Sussex newspaper, The Evening Argus which also noted "as a vote winner, Dave Hill was almost unrivalled, and during the 1979 local elections he scored the highest vote ever recorded for a Labour candidate in Brighton".
As a Labour Party member, he was an elected East Sussex County Councillor (1977–1989), and, in the mid-1980s, Labour Group Leader on East Sussex County Council, where the Labour Group was one of the last in England to support a 'deficit budget' strategy, as supported by the Militant-led council in Liverpool. As Labour Group Leader he organized and led the largest peacetime political demonstration in the history of Lewes
, the East Sussex county town{ndash}a march and rally of 3,000 protesters as part of the 'Campaign Against the Cuts'. This was at the time of the Thatcher Conservative government’s cuts in public spending and restrictions on local government.
He was also a Brighton Borough Councillor (1975–76, 1979–83). During the 1970s and 1980s he led a number of campaigns, including for funding for the Battered Wives' Refuge, for the local Anti-Nazi League
, for expansion of free state Nursery Education. He was southern regional (higher education) Chair for NATFHE, the lecturers' Union for a time, and a long-time local official of his union branch, leading, in 1990, an unofficial walk-out by academic and secretarial support staff in support of ambulance workers who were on strike.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s he was a part-time photo-journalist for some of the Left Press in Britain, covering elections in Portugal, Spain and France for New Socialist, Labour Weekly and Tribune
.
Having started in the Labour Party as a working class left social democrat, he became, in the 1970s a local leader in Brighton of the group within the party that opposed Militant, then influential in Brighton Labour politics. As such, he was, in the 1970s and early 1980s, identified by the local media as a "Labour moderate". However, during the Thatcher years he became more radicalized. He opposed what he saw as the increasingly rightward drift in the local and national Labour Party, which included expulsions of Militant supporters and other leftists. On announcing he was leaving Labour electoral politics in 1988, the local newspaper had the headline, "Hero of the Left to Quit Politics".
Hill was influenced by the ideas of Marxist Trotskyite
ideas of the Militant tendency
(later, The Socialist Party) (see his obituary of Ted Grant, leader of Militant, online at www.ieps.org.uk). Although opposed to some of their methods (such as `resolutionitis’, and sectarianism) he became a Marxist in the early 1980s. His then wife, Marylyn Hill, was, in the mid-1970s, secretary of Brighton Labour Party, a party of 2,000 members at that time, and also a Brighton Labour Councillor, who had been close to Militant through the internecine Labour struggles of the 1970s and 1980s.
