Press Release – Labour History Review
Liverpool University Press is delighted to announce that it will be publishing the journal Labour History Review on behalf of the Society for the Study of Labour History from 2012.
Since 1960 Labour History Review has explored the working lives and politics of ‘ordinary’ people. It has played a key role in redefining social and political history.
The journal’s emphasis is on British labour history, though comparative and international studies are not neglected. The editors welcome contributions which dig deeper within the traditional subject matter of labour history, but they are also keen to expand the parameters of the subject and the range of approaches taken to it. They are particularly interested in articles which engage with issues of gender and ethnicity or race, as well as class.
The journal will be published alongside the book series Studies in Labour History, which has also moved to LUP and is edited by Dr Alan Campbell. The series provides reassessments of broad themes along with more detailed studies arising from the latest research in the field of labour and working class history, both in Britain and throughout the world.
Founded in 1899, Liverpool University Press (LUP) has a strong track record of producing distinguished scholarly publications. Relaunched and refocused in 2004, the Press has undergone a period of unprecedented growth, book publishing has doubled; journals publishing has tripled.
LUP Commissioning Editor Alison Welsby said, “We are delighted the journal has moved to Liverpool University Press, accompanying its book series, Studies in Labour History, to further enhance our reputation in the field of British labour history.”
More information will be available on the LUP website very soon, but please do contact me for any questions or queries.
Thank you,
Clare Hooper
