Craig Heron is a Professor of History at York University. Influenced by E.P. Thompson,[citation needed] he is considered to be one of the founders of the "New Labour History", which brought Marxist theory to the study of Canada's working-class.[1]
In the 1970s Heron was a key member of New Hogtown Press, a left-wing Canadian publisher pioneering the field of activist-oriented working class and social history.
The author of numerous works on the Canadian labour movement, Heron has recently shifted towards the more fashionable cultural history field, authoring Booze: A Distilled History in 2003. He is past president of the Canadian Historical Association.
