Occasions like this are a brilliant time to relect, on the one hand, on what has been achieved in the inter- Cambridge vening period, and to consider on the other the progress still to be made. A hundred years after the expansion of sufrage, women in Cambridge hold powerful positions throughout the student body. his term, CUSU, the Union, TCS, the ADC, he Wilberforce Society, and others all have women at the helm. In the wider world, despite headline celebrates backsliding (you know who), recent years have seen a huge increase in the number of women leading parties and contesting for the highest political oice. But attaining power is only ever the start when sexism is so deeply built into the structure of our society. It has votes for taken 100 years since basic franchise to get where we are, and there is so much more to be achieved. To properly celebrate the legacy of Fawcett and Pan- khurst, we must recognise that their struggle did not start and end at formal, procedural equality between women men and women. hough a pithy statement, Feminism is more than ‘the radical notion that women are people’ – it’s a movement which seeks to rebuild our society by deconstructing the prison of gender norms. A cursory lick through the Varsity archives will show the efects of ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ traits, and the relative value given to each, on men and women in Cam- bridge. Only last week, we reported that there remains an 18.3% pay gap between the average basic incomes of men and women in the University.

  • Losing an Empire, Losing a Role?: the Commonwealth Vision, British Identity, and African Decolonization, 1959-1963
    LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 By Emily Lowrance-Floyd Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey . Dr. Katherine Clark . Dr. Dorice Williams Elliott . Dr. Elizabeth MacGonagle . Dr. Leslie Tuttle Date Defended: April 6, 2012 ii The Dissertation Committee for Emily Lowrance-Floyd certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: LOSING AN EMPIRE, LOSING A ROLE?: THE COMMONWEALTH VISION, BRITISH IDENTITY, AND AFRICAN DECOLONIZATION, 1959-1963 . Chairperson Dr. Victor Bailey Date approved: April 6, 2012 iii ABSTRACT Many observers of British national identity assume that decolonization presaged a crisis in the meaning of Britishness. The rise of the new imperial history, which contends Empire was central to Britishness, has only strengthened faith in this assumption, yet few historians have explored the actual connections between end of empire and British national identity. This project examines just this assumption by studying the final moments of decolonization in Africa between 1959 and 1963. Debates in the popular political culture and media demonstrate the extent to which British identity and meanings of Britishness on the world stage intertwined with the process of decolonization. A discursive tradition characterized as the “Whiggish vision,” in the words of historian Wm. Roger Louis, emerged most pronounced in this era. This vision, developed over the centuries of Britain imagining its Empire, posited that the British Empire was a benign, liberalizing force in the world and forecasted a teleology in which Empire would peacefully transform into a free, associative Commonwealth of Nations.

  • Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy
    Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy How do democracies form and what makes them die? Daniel Ziblatt revisits this timely and classic question in a wide-ranging historical narrative that traces the evolution of modern political democracy in Europe from its modest beginnings in 1830s Britain to Adolf Hitler’s 1933 seizure of power in Weimar Germany. Based on rich historical and quantitative evidence, the book offers a major reinterpretation of European history and the question of how stable political democracy is achieved. The barriers to inclusive political rule, Ziblatt finds, were not inevitably overcome by unstoppable tides of socioeconomic change, a simple triumph of a growing middle class, or even by working class collective action. Instead, political democracy’s fate surprisingly hinged on how conservative political parties – the historical defenders of power, wealth, and privilege – recast themselves and coped with the rise of their own radical right. With striking modern parallels, the book has vital implications for today’s new and old democracies under siege. Daniel Ziblatt is Professor of Government at Harvard University where he is also a resident fellow of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. He is also currently Fernand Braudel Senior Fellow at the European University Institute. His first book, Structuring the State: The Formation of Italy and Germany and the Puzzle of Federalism (2006) received several prizes from the American Political Science Association. He has written extensively on the emergence of democracy in European political history, publishing in journals such as American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic History, and World Politics.

  • The Conservative Party & Perceptions of the Middle
    THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY & PERCEPTIONS OF THE MIDDLE CLASSES TITLE: THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND PERCEPTIONS OF THE BRITISH MIDDLE CLASSES, 1951 - 1974 By LEANNA FONG, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Leanna Fong, August 2016 Ph.D. Thesis – Leanna Fong McMaster University - Department of History Descriptive Note McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2016) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: The Conservative Party and Perceptions of the British Middle Classes, 1951 - 1974 AUTHOR: Leanna Fong, B.A., M.A (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Stephen Heathorn PAGES: vi, 307 ii Ph.D. Thesis – Leanna Fong McMaster University - Department of History Abstract “The Conservative Party and Perceptions of the British Middle Classes, 1951 – 1974,” explores conceptions of middle-class voters at various levels of the party organization after the Second World War. Since Benjamin Disraeli, Conservatives have endeavoured to represent national rather than sectional interests and appeal widely to a growing electorate. Yet, the middle classes and their interests have also enjoyed a special position in the Conservative political imagination often because the group insists they receive special consideration. It proved especially difficult to juggle these priorities after 1951 when Conservatives encountered two colliding challenges: the middle classes growing at a rapid rate, failing to form a unified outlook or identity, and the limited appeal of consumer rhetoric and interests owing to the uneven experience of affluence and prosperity. Conservative ideas and policies failed to acknowledge and resonate with the changing nature of their core supporters and antiquated local party organization reinforced feelings of alienation from and mistrust of new members of the middle classes as well as affluent workers.

  • Lessons from the Marginals Edited by Jesse Norman
    Lessons from the Marginals Edited by Jesse Norman With contributions from: Nicola Blackwood MP Robert Halfon MP Richard Harrington MP Martin Vickers MP Conservative Home, 2012 CONTenTS Introduction Jesse Norman MP 1 Harlow Rob Halfon MP 8 Oxford West & Abingdon Nicola Blackwood MP 18 Watford Richard Harrington MP 25 Cleethorpes Martin Vickers MP 30 Hereford & South Herefordshire Jesse Norman MP INTRODUCTION Jesse Norman MP If the Conservative party is to win the 2015 General Election, it will need to hold a large number of marginal seats, and take more besides. As the 2010 election showed, the old laws of politics are breaking down. Seats which would normally have gone with the national swing somehow failed to do so; others swung like never before. As electronic media proliferate, trust and turnout decline and a new and far more politically eclectic generation comes to the fore, fresh thinking is needed. This collection gathers together essays from five members of the 2010 parliamentary intake: Robert Halfon, Nicola Blackwood, Richard Harrington, Martin Vickers and Jesse Norman. Together, they span a wide range of constituencies won at that election: North and South, urban and rural, taken from Labour and the Liberal Democrats, first time round or at the second or even third attempt. These seats are diverse, with diverse populations and challenges; and it is interesting to see how their different challenges are addressed in different specific ways. But what is actually remarkable is the consistency of the underlying themes to be found here. They point to a quite different approach to campaigning: accountable, energetic, personal, informal, independent- minded, rather non-partisan, and focused on social action.

  • Margaret Thatcher, Thatcherism and Education
    Commentary Reginald Edwards McGill University Margaret Thatcher, Thatcherism and Education The changes in educational policy in Britain that are being promoted by Margaret Thatcher's government are of such significance that educators in North America might be well advised to take notice of them. Professor Buck, in the Win ter issue of this journal, detailed many of these changes and compared them to the policies of Matthew Arnold. In this commentary, an attempt is made to examine the personal and political background of Margaret Thatcher and to draw sorne inferences about the origin of her ideas and policies, which have come to be known commonlyas "Thatcherism." Thatcher's personal background Margaret Roberts, born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, in 1925, began her education in a local primary school, and at the age of eleven began secondary education at the Kestevan and Grantham Grammar School for Girls. Admitted to Somerville College, Oxford, in 1943, she graduated in Science in 1946. In her final year she was the President of the Oxford University Conservative Association and, in this capacity, was invited to her first Annual Conference of the Conservative Party in 1946. She attended her second conference in 1948, as the representative of the Graduates' Association, and met representatives of the Dartford constituency. Asking to submit her name as a candidate for nomination, she was accepted, and she contested, unsuccessfully, the elections of 1950 and 1951 for that constituency. Through her political activities she met Dennis Thatcher, whom she married in an East London Methodist Chapel in December 1951. After marriage she began to study law, specializing in taxation law, and was adJTJitted to the Bar in 1954, one year after giving birth to twins.

Short term variations in the unemployment rate enable governments to gloat over the success of their economic policy, as has been the case in the UK since the beginning of 2014, or encourage the opposition to attack governments.
