This PhD project will permit the consideration of occupational stress on a broad section of nineteenth-century society, and recognition of a de facto typology of occupational stress. It will build on work by Tomkins on medical practitioners to open out the study of occupational stress to the multiple white-collar workers of England, and foster comparisons between these men and another group (to be defined either by gender, work-type, age or other characteristic). The latter will be chosen in collaboration with the student, based on their own interests and in line with a cohort that proves to be prominent among Staffordshire asylum admissions. The student will begin by drawing on asylum admissions papers and casebooks to identify those patients within the scope of the research. The Staffordshire archives asylum collections include 22 volumes of patient casenotes for the first county asylum 1818-1919, and further volumes for Burntwood and Cheddleton (from 1864 and 1899 respectively). This material will be interleaved with existing datasets including census returns and death registration for contextual socio-economic information. The conflation of data about patients from multiple sources will allow the student to devise multiple partial biographies (i.e. prosopographical study) for the better exploration of occupational health.

这个博士项目将允许对十九世纪社会的广泛部分的职业压力的考虑，并承认职业压力的事实类型。它将建立在汤姆金斯对医生的工作基础上，向英国的多个白领工人开放职业压力的研究，并促进这些人与另一个群体（根据性别，工作类型，年龄或其他特征定义）之间的比较。后者将与学生合作选择，根据他们自己的兴趣，并与斯塔福德郡庇护录取中突出的队列一致。学生将开始通过借鉴庇护入学文件和个案簿，以确定这些病人的研究范围内。斯塔福德郡档案馆的庇护藏品包括22卷第一郡庇护1818-1919年的病人病历，以及Burntwood和Cheddleton（分别从1864年和1899年）的进一步卷。这一材料将与现有数据集交叉使用，包括人口普查报告和死亡登记，以提供相关的社会经济信息。来自多个来源的患者数据的合并将使学生能够设计多个部分传记（即Prosopographical研究），以更好地探索职业健康。
