Emeritus professors

Peter obtained his undergraduate and PhD degrees from the University of Cambridge. He has spent most of his academic career at The University of Manchester, including working as Head of the School of History and Classics between 1997 and 2002. Peter's research and teaching interests fall into two broad categories: population displacement in world history and the history of modern Europe.

Emeritus Professor Tony Redmond has co-ordinated responses to the conflict in Gaza, the Ebola crisis in West Africa and the earthquake in Nepal. In 1994 he established UK-Med, an NGO that provides international emergency humanitarian medical assistance which now hosts the UK International Emergency Trauma Register (UKIETR) and UK International Emergency Medical Register (UKIEMR). Tony has led an experienced medical team to the typhoon-hit Philippines as well as to earthquakes in China and Haiti.
