Keele University are considering plans to make redundant 38 out of 67 academic staff in the School of Economic and Management Studies (SEMS). This development, if it goes ahead, will have adverse implications for labour history research in the UK not least because Keele's plans could threaten the future of the renowned journal, Historical Studies in Industrial Relations. Academics from the School have also been extremely active in their use of archives at labour history institutions.
