Biography
Callum Brown was born in 1953 and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. Following a brief period as a civil servant, he embarked on an academic career, teaching first at Lancashire Polytechnic (now the University of Lancashire) and then the University of Strathclyde from 1985 to 2004. He then moved to the University of Dundee, where he was Professor of History. Brown was latterly Professor of Late Modern European History at the University of Glasgow. In 2020 he celebrated his 30th year in the industry. In July 2025, Brown was among 92 academics elected to the British Academy's Fellowship, recognising their outstanding contributions to the humanities and social sciences. He commented that after over forty years working as a historian, he was âdelighted to be joining the British Academy.â "Though retiredâ, Brown said that he still âgot a buzz from discovery in the archivesâ, and that he âhoped to continue researching and writing twentieth century British history for many years yet.â He is married to fellow historian, Lynn Abrams. Research and Publications
Secularisation For fifty years, Callum Brown has studied the decline of religion, principally focusing upon Britain, but also Canada and the United States, and, to a lesser extent, Europe. In the first phase of his academic career, research concentrated upon the 19th century. His first monograph, the Social History of Religion in Scotland since 1730 adhered to a then current orthodoxy which envisaged the influence of religion having diminished during the late 19th century as a result of urbanisation. Later, Brown came to believe that this thesis was incorrect, and that secularisation did not properly take hold in Britain until the mid-twentieth century. 1] This first book was heavily revised for a new edition which appeared in 1997 as Religion and Society in Scotland since 1707. 2] The later edition argued that nineteenth century clergy had created a discourse of the 'unchurched' urban working classes which later influenced what historians believed, but that in reality, religiosity remained strong. It also drew upon then emerging trends in history writing, chiefly a burgeoning concern with identities. The book was perhaps the first Scottish history which related the marginalisation of a culture of puritanism in the 1960s and 1970s to arguments about changing expectations about leisure time. By the mid-2020s, Brown believed that the progress of secularisation had been sufficiently thorough in Scotland that if published today, Religion and Society in Scotland since 1707 might struggle to gain a significant readership due to low levels of public knowledge about churches, particularly amongst younger generations, coupled with the dwindling appeal of religious history.
Brown's focus then turned to reconceptualising secularisation in the twentieth century. His research moved beyond the borders of Scotland. He developed a central thesis which asserts that secularisation in the western Christian world has been both rapid and intense since the 1960s, but should not be regarded as confined to decline of churches, faith or religious behaviour. Secularisation, Brown argues, is multi-faceted. Eventually, he came to delineate five forms of secularisation which had previously been overlooked by historians, proceeding to research and write a book on each of them.
Firstly, secularisation was identified as the breakdown of hegemonic Christian culture, triggered by the collapse of conventional female piety in the 1960s, in The Death of Christian Britain (2000). Here, the âdeathâ of Christian Britain stands for the demise of the nationâs core religious and moral identity. For a thousand years, Brown reminds the reader, Christianity 'penetrated deeply into the lives of the people, enduring Reformation, Enlightenment and industrial revolution' by adapting. Then, in the 1960s, there was a âprofound ruptureâ which sent organised Christianity into a âdownward spiral into the margins of social significance.â When writing, Brown innovated using discourse analysis and women's history, both of which he had then recently been introduced to by Abrams, rejected the primacy of social class as insufficient to explain the magnitude of change in religious fortunes, instead alighting upon gender history. The Death of Christian Britain deployed a postmodern-inspired approach of discourse analysis and personal testimony study, combined use of which in religious history was then relatively novel. Secularisation has, Brown argues, been a gendered event, perhaps even 'highly feminine.'
Fourthly, secularisation was studied as a struggle between liberal and conservative moralities in the 1960s, considered in The Battle for Christian Britain (2019). This conflict, conceived of as a 'battle' between conservative religious morality and secular humanists, a 'tiny, but well-organised group who developed, between the 1930s and the 1970s, a specific ethical polity, based on the individualâs right to control over their own body.' Sex and morality were the site of âbattles galoreâ as humanist activists sought legislative change in sexual affairs, including decriminalisation of male homosexuality, medical abortion and attempted suicide, as well as marriage law and divorce law reform, liberalised access to contraception, and an end of literary censorship. âHolding this ethical polity together,â was, as lawyer Glanville Williams laid out in 1958, âa need to set the human body free from external, state endorsed theocratic control.â But for conservative Christians like Roman Catholic lawyer, Norman St-John Stevas, these policies 'represented a dangerous credo which would cut the human body adrift through theology, state control and sexual restraint.' Sex was, Brown argues, âcomplexly and intensely entwined in post-war conservative Christian thoughtâ, a âfuel for moral frenzy.â The ensuing âbattleâ was one with at least seven different front-line zones.â First, there was the âstruggle of conservative religionists to impose upon the British people a high degree of ignorance about the human body and sexâ through mechanisms of censorship in print, broadcasts, stage performances, film and education.â Secondly, the struggle waged by local authorities on behalf of the churches and their members to impose moral puritanism upon the people by means of the licensing system.
Oral History Brown was one of the earlier pioneers of the use of oral history in Scotland. He began using the methodology in the early 1990s, when teaching and researching at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. In 1995, he co-founded, with Arthur McIvor, the Scottish Oral History Centre (SOHC), based at Strathclyde, as a hub for training, expertise and archiving oral history. The Centre reached its 30th anniversary in 2025. A book resulted from Brown's oral history work at Strathclyde, co-written with Arthur McIvor and the late Neil Rafeek, the University Experience 1945-75: An Oral History of the University of Strathclyde. For just under a decade, between 2009 and 2017, Brown worked on a rolling programme of oral history interviewing for his âBecoming Atheistâ research project, which investigated individual stories of secularisation since the 1960s. He enquired into the lives of humanists, atheists, agnostics, sceptics, secularists, rationalists, and freethinkers. Beginning in Scotland with the humanist celebrant who married him and his wife, Brown recruited informants across the United Kingdom, in Canada, and the United States, as well as in India, France and Estonia. The resulting collection of 78 interviews, supplemented by written testimonies, were transcribed manually by a team of transcribers, and assembled into a compendium of 649,257 words. Both the interview tapes and the compendia will be deposited in the Bishopsgate Archive, London. Between 2018 and 2020, Brown carried out oral history interviewing in the Western Highlands and Western Isles, investigating, with researcher, Ealasaid Munro, memories of the Highlands and Islands Film Guild, an organisation which brought cinema to rural communities.
Religion and the Heterosexual Revolution Callum Brown's interest in secularisation led him to the history of sexualities. Drawing upon analysis of statistics for 'illegitimacy', he has argued for a 'short' sexual revolution as having taken place in England in the 1960s which proceeded the mass availability of the oral contraceptive pill. The 1960s, he has asserted, witnessed a sudden growth in pre-marital heterosexual intercourse, which implied a cultural rather than a technological cause for changing sexual behaviour. Examining social surveys, such as the published investigations by Geoffrey Gorer, Eustace Chesser and Michael Schofield, he found clear evidence of correlation between reported levels of religious activity and levels of pre-marital sexual activity. Finally, he argues that in the 1950s, the dominance of a conservative Christian culture in England restrained women's behaviour, but that attitudes changed in the 1960s, a shift led by the agency of single women. Changing female sexual behaviour and attitudes, accompanied by a collapse of 'respectability' and 'puritanism', Brown argues, constituted a significant instigator of the religious crisis of the 1960s.
Up Helly Aa A number of guizers in fancy costumes bearing torches in the Lerwick Up Helly Aa procession captured as they marched down King Harald Street. In the mid-1990s, Brown visited Lerwick in Shetland and became fascinated by Up Helly Aa, the large and spectacular winter fire festival for which the islands are famed. This interest resulted in his only book which is not concerned with secularisation: Up-Helly-Aa: Custom, Culture and Community in Shetland. Published in 1998, it was the first full study of the historical origins and contemporary significance of the festival. His interpretation drew upon Raphael Samuelâs concept of a âtheatre of memoryâ, âa community place where popular history is produced without academic learning, but in which the present Shetland community is celebrated by constructing perceptions of the past within a participatory festival.â
The book explores the origins of the festival in the early 19th century, Lerwick having previously been a town in which âcalendar rituals of inversionâ were unnecessary, because of the townâs nature as a âcommunity of misruleâ, an outpost of the Scottish, then British state in which insider status was demarcated by involvement in smuggling, drinking and sexual freedoms. When smuggling gave way to economic commercialisation after 1800, an effective internal hierarchy of power emerged, and chaotic yet ritualised misrule at Yule and New Year provided the town with a demonstration of plebeian power. Some of these rituals were spectacular and highly dangerous, involving guns, flaming tar barrels and home-made hand-grenades, as well as somewhat less threatening practical jokes.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the rise of a culture of restraint and respectability, fuelled by evangelical Christianity, pacified these events, and they were gradually reinvented. Up Helly Aa emerged as a ritual which combined the symbols of misrule with civic respectability. From the mid-1880s, the event took on the theme of Norse revival, with the arrival of the âGuizer Jarlâ, his squad, the burning galley, and songs of praise to medieval Norsemen. Throughout this development, Brown argues, the people recrafted their identity again and again. Up Helly Aa, he asserts, is 'authentic' heritage, not because of its symbolisms, but because it is a 'celebration of the spirit of freedom from bumptious and interfering authority upon which Lerwick was founded in the early seventeenth century upon the shores of the Sound of Bressay.' The following year, the book won the Frank Watson Prize for best book or monograph published on Scottish History.
Death of Christian Britain was widely reviewed when first published. Richard Holloway, former Episcopalian Bishop of Edinburgh, said it was a âbrave plunge into one of the most complex debates of the era,â while David L. Williams, writing in The Tablet, saw a âstudy which deserved the attention of all who are seriously concerned with the history of future of British Christianity.â Jeremy Morris, in The Historical Journal, said the book was, âa tour de force in the social history of religionâ and that âthis most provocative of historians has pulled off an extraordinary featâ (in reconceptualising secularisation from the 19th century to the 1960s) and which used a ârange of evidence formerly untouched by historians.â For Reviews in History, Sheridan Gilley found the book, âone of the most entertaining, moving and stimulating works on the subject.â
Hugh McLeod, writing in Social History, praised Becoming Atheist: Humanism and the Secular West, which appeared in 2017, for its innovative uses of oral history, saying that the âoriginality of Brownâs account lies not only in the highly detailed tracing of individual life stories, but also in showing patterns of similarity between accounts by those of the same nationality, ethnicity, gender or religious background.â McLeod found Callum Brownâs analysis of the impact of different ethnic or religious backgrounds upon journeys to humanism, such as those of African Americans and secular Jews to be âespecially interesting.â McLeod did however, offer some reservations, chiefly, that the book canvased the memories of members of humanist organisations, a small group, rather than a 'random sample of atheists.' They were, he asserted, a 'distinctive group', mostly 'elderly, many well-educated and containing no less than ten-percent former clergy or trainee clergy.' McLeod was also doubtful about the primacy in a book about 'the West' of the emphasis on the 1960s as a moment of religious rupture in Britain, which 'would have been impossible if he was writing about Germany or France.' While Brown had 'been successful in showing how committed humanists saw the world', McLeod said, there remained room for a 'more detached analysis.'
Religion and the Demographic Revolution was appraised by Todd Green, reviewer for Church History, to have âdelivered a persuasive argument for connections between demography, religion and secularisation. The sheer range of data he [Brown] draws on makes his case impressive.â Given the âneglect of gender in traditional accounts of religious change and decline in modern histories of the West, Green felt that âBrownâs book is an indispensable contribution to the fieldâ which would âgo a long way to helping bring gender as a crucial category of analysis from the periphery to the centre of the secularisation debate.â S.C Williams, for the English Historical Review, considered Religion and the Demographic Revolution to be a âfascinating analysisâ which brought together and studied the bonds between âthree powerful revolutions: the secular, the demographic and the revolution in womenâs identities.â She was more critical of the bookâs treatment of the demographic growth of âother religionistsâ, whose mass immigration from regions with faith traditions other than Christianity âhad become a vital characteristic of each of the countries studied.â However, Williams concluded it âremained the case that Brown had produced a watershed book which opened new ground in the social history of religion.â
The Battle for Christian Britain: Sex, Humanists and Secularisation, 1945-1980, which was published in 2019, was reviewed by Jon Lawrence in the American Historical Review. Lawrence considered the book a 'rich and original study, its local case studies (of London, Sheffield, Blackpool, Glasgow and the Isle of Lewis) adding an important new dimension to our understanding of post-war social and cultural history, not just by decentring London in the story of an increasingly sexualised and permissive culture, but also by reminding us of the continued importance of local religious, political and social traditions in the practical implementation of state policies in the era.â Lawrence also welcomed âBrownâs sustained focus on the role of secular humanists in driving social reformsâ, but questioned whether he had adequately explained the forces eroding the culture of social deference in post-war Britain, suggesting the one pertinent factor was an elite crisis of confidence in telling other people how to live their lives.
The Humanist Movement in Modern Britain, which Brown co-authored with David Nash and Charlie Lynch, appeared in 2023. Its main thesis is that organised humanism achieved a âdisproportionateâ influence on international affairs and domestic social policy in the mid-20th century, experienced crisis and retrenchment in the 1970s and 1990s, but recovered in the 21st century by 'championing a distinctive ethical approach to human rights, sexual liberty and the autonomy of the individual.' Nathan Alexander, writing in the Journal of British Studies, appraised the book as one which, while obviously appealing to scholars of non-religion, was relevant to historians of Britain because 'it describes a phenomenon which had seemingly happened under their noses. The majority of society had become non-religious, largely holding humanist values.' John Carter Wood, in Contemporary British History, was rather more critical, adjudging that with the authors âvery much on the side of their humanist protagonistsâ, the presumption that humanists formed the âethical vanguard of Britainâ made for a âsomewhat flattened storyâ which overlooked âdarker sides of secularist thought.â However, Carter Wood decided that while the book was âpartial in scope and partisan in its commitments, it was clearly a âsignificant achievement which offers a detailed and carefully researched study of key institutions of non-belief in Britain, effectively drawing out overarching patterns in organised non-belief.â
