Dr Joe Redmayne

Dr. Joe Redmayne is a British social and labour historian. His research deals with British social history in the twentieth century, focusing on transnationalism, labour movements, and the contentious politics of class. He has particular research interests across three connected themes:

  • Transformative events and subsequent processes of unity, division, radicalisation and demoralisation;
  • Transnational cycles of protest, contentious politics, and intellectual itineraries in historical actors and social movements;
  • Contradictory global legacies across themes of political economy, empire, radicalism, urban/rural identity, and industrial heritage in former industrial cities/towns.
