External Research Grants

In July 2008 the LHRU gained its first external grant when The British Academy awarded funding to Professor John Shepherd for his research on 'The British Winter of Discontent, 1978-79'. This project is based on a range of archival sources (including recently released Cabinet papers) and interviews with key witnesses (politicians, policy advisors, trade unionists and journalists). It will be published by Manchester University Press.
