Thomas Humphrey Marshall (1893 to 1981) was an English sociologist, best known for his essay "Citizenship and Social Class," published in 1950 from a lecture given the year before, which introduced the idea that full citizenship includes civil, political and social citizenship. Born in London into a wealthy, culturally minded family, he was educated at Rugby School and read history at Trinity College, Cambridge. He was a civilian prisoner in Germany during the First World War, won a fellowship at Trinity in 1919 and stood unsuccessfully as the Labour candidate for Farnham in 1922, an experience that brought him close to working-class life. He became a tutor in social work at the London School of Economics in 1925, headed its Social Science Department from 1944 to 1949 and held the Martin White Professorship of Sociology from 1954 to 1956. He then headed the Social Science Department at UNESCO from 1956 to 1960 and was the fourth president of the International Sociological Association from 1959 to 1962. He died in Cambridge in 1981.
