Career
Redhead held professorships in Canada and the United Kingdom, and a Visiting Professorship at Murdoch University in Australia. While his later scholarship focused on Paul Virilio and theories of accelerated modernity, he was known for his research on post-youth culture, law, critical criminology, and popular culture and football fanzines.
He held an LLB and LLM from Manchester University, and a PhD from the University of Warwick. Combining law and cultural studies, his scholarship focused on theories of deviance in both football fandom and dance cultures, along with current interests in speed, terrorism, football memoirs, war and theories of social change.
Redhead was known for a series of scholarly innovations, in theories of deviance, (post) youth culture and accelerated modernity.
