Yann Beliardis
Yann Béliard is a Senior Lecturer in British studies at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University, France. His PhD, completed in 2007 under the supervision of the late François Poirier, dealt with class relations in Hull from 1894 to 1910. Since then he has edited a special issue of the Labour History Review (April 2014) revisiting ‘The Great Labour Unrest, 1911-1914’.
His research focuses on British labour in the age of empire, with particular emphasis on workplace struggles, transnational activism, and race. Recently he has explored more particularly Sylvia Pankhurst’s Workers’ Dreadnought years and produced a series of notices for the Dictionary of Labour Biography. He is currently working on the edition of a collective volume on British labour and decolonisation.
