Brian Collier
I currently work at Bradford College, where I teach History, Sociology at A level and Information Technology at GCSE.  My early years were spent on the shopfloor, mainly in the chemical industry, which left me with an abiding interest in labour, working class and radical history (including feminist and green issues).  I finally got a chance to study these formally in 1979, when I gained my first degree at Manchester Polytechnic.  I went on to do an MA in Social History at Lancaster University, writing my dissertation on Chartism in my home town of Bury.  Currently I am working on a doctorate in historical sociology at the University of Leeds (the empirical work being on Bolton and Huddersfield in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries).
