Mike has been in and out of educational institutions for most of his life. After studying at four universities in Wales, including Swansea where he gained a PGCE (History), Mike worked as a postgraduate research assistant on a project on processions in urban south Wales at the Board of Celtic Studies, Aberystwyth, before joining LJMU in 2006. Mike is a historian of Modern Britain and specialises in sub-national place identities and strange/weird/supernatural history. That said, he has published work on a number of topics including political ideologies, masculinity, national days and rural history. In addition to teaching his own modules at L5 and L6, Mike contributes to team-taught modules at undergraduate and Masters level.
