Prof. David Clark

Also known as

Prof. David Clark is Director (Interdisciplinary Studies) and Associate Academic (Institute of Health and Wellbeing) in the University of Glasgow. "I was educated at the Universities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Aberdeen. Following early postgraduate studies in the sociology of religion, my subsequent research interests centered upon sociological aspects of family life, with a particular interest in aspects of marriage, divorce and re-marriage. Whilst working at the MRC Medical Sociology Unit in Aberdeen in the early 1980s, I began to develop an interest in the sociological aspects of health and illness, which has remained my major research focus. I was appointed Professor of Sociology at Sheffield Hallam University in 1993 and in 1995 became Professor of Medical Sociology at the University of Sheffield. I founded the International Observatory on End of Life Care at Lancaster University in 2003 and moved to my present post at the University of Glasgow in October 2009. I am currently engaged in a number of studies concerned with service evaluation relating to the provision of end of life care and with issues of policy development and the international growth of palliative care. I have a particular interest in the historical development of modern end of life care movements and have written a book about the history of the Project on Death in America."
