Thomas Humphrey Marshall (19 December 1893, London – 29 November 1981, Cambridge) was a British sociologist who was most famously known for his work on Citizenship and Social Class. He was born in 19 December 1893 and was educated at Rugby School and Trinity College, Cambridge.
He was a civilian prisoner in Germany during World War I.
He then went onto pursuing a Fellowship program at Trinity College, Cambridge on October 1919, where he entered into academia as a professional historian.
This was interrupted when he accepted an invitation to become the Labour Candidate in Surrey.
He later became a tutor at the London School of Economics in 1925.
He was promoted to reader and went on to become the Head of the Social Science Department at LSE from 1944 to 1949 and Martin White Professorship of Sociology from 1954 to 1956.
Then worked for UNESCO as the head of the Social Science Department from 1956 to 1960, possibly contributing to the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which was drafted in 1954, but not ratified until 1966. He was the fourth president of the International Sociological Association (1959-1962).
