Steve Mills

I took the devil's shilling and retired seven years before originally envisaged: Keele made me and other aging colleagues a deal that would not be repeated. Continuing cultural revolution was starting to get to me, so I took off - to teach historical methods and historical controversies while supervising student research projects at Ruskin College Oxford - for the fun of it - until summer 2012 when they moved to a new site, a further 30 minutes added to a 2 hours 30 mins rail journey each way. Now I'm finishing a series of my own research projects, while learning to be a real grandpa.
