Thomas Lionel Hodgkin was born at Mendip House, Headington Hill, near Oxford. Named after his grandfather, the historian Thomas Hodgkin, he was the son of Robert Howard Hodgkin, Provost of Queen"s College, Oxford, and Dorothy Forster Smith, daughter of the historian Alfred Lionel Smith.
Hodgkin was educated at Winchester and Balliol College, Oxford, before using a demyship at Magdalen College, Oxford, to travel, spending 1932-1933 on John Garstang"s archaeological dig at Jericho.
From 1934 to 1936 Hodgkin was in the Palestine civil service, for some time being a personal secretary to High Commissioner Wauchope. There, Hodgkin started to become critical of British imperialism. Resigning from the colonial service after the April 1936 Arab uprising, he hoped to stay in Palestine but was ordered to leave by the British administration.
In 1939, declared ineligible for military service on medical grounds (he suffered from narcolepsy), Hodgkin became a Workers" Educational Association tutor in north Staffordshire.
In September 1945 he became Secretary of the Oxford delegacy for extra-mural studies, and a Balliol fellowship Befriending Kwame Nkrumah in 1951, he published a pamphlet for the Union of Democratic Control supporting independence for the Gold Coast.
In 1952 Hodgkin left his Oxford job and travelled in Africa. He took part-time appointments at Northwestern University in Illinois and McGill University in Montreal, was joint secretary of a commission on reform of Ghana"s universities, and in 1962 returned to Ghana for three years to head the new Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana.
From 1965 until his 1970 retirement he was Lecturer in the Government of New States at Oxford University.
