Steve is a well known international author and Professor and has worked at numerous universities around the world. Steve lives in Adelaide in South Australia with his wife Professor Tara Brabazon. This website showcases Steve’s output to date – books, chapters in books, articles, podcasts, vodcasts, reviews, social media, all freely downloadable – and rolling reviews of all his eighteen books. It features a regular blog on what he has called ‘Theoretical Times’, his label for the contemporary post-crash cultural condition we live in today.

Steve is currently working on two new books: Three Coups, a socio-legal/criminology study of the JFK Assassination, Watergate and Trump Election victory, and New Realisms and New Materialisms, a critical look at how new realisms in methodology and philosophy complement the new materialisms in contemporary theory.
Reviews
With intriguing insights…Redhead’s collection is a think tank of opinion on the importance of culture and music in modern, alternative writing.
The changes in international football fan culture and the wider shifts in society that they mirror form the basis for this innovative book, mixing academic research with current happenings on and off the pitch
Redhead’s gentle interviewing technique proves to be a winner: he manages to unearth information more aggressive hacks could not. It is engrossing to read Warner and Welsh’s confessions…and it is amusing to discover that Roddy Doyle is supporting a Belgian opera based on The Commitments.
