Abstract
This article considers the links between local activism and internationalism through the case study of Elizabeth Wilson, a pacifist and humanitarian activist in Huddersfield (United Kingdom) between 1943 and 1990. Her activism was the link between a local organization – Hudfam – and the growing international organization, Oxfam. Her trajectory between humanitarian and pacifist activism illustrates how local humanitarian organizations could be connecting with the major debates of the era. This article rooted in a biographical case study is part of a wider research project on grass-root humanitarian activism.
