SUMMARY:British Intellectual Conservatism: Past and Present
DESCRIPTION:DOWNLOAD THE CONFERENCE PROGRAMME \nThis conference seeks to analyse the British conservative intellectual traditions that often go unnoticed in the background of C/conservative politics. \nThere is a strand of thought that posits the Conservative Party and conservative thought as anti-intellectual. Indeed\, within the party there used to be a suspicion towards intellectuals\, due to the modernist temptation of intellectuals to determine politics without a democratic mandate. Yet\, there is no high-quality policy making without intellectual work invested. Since the time of Edmund Burke serious intellectual work has been done to meet the challenges that C/conservatives\, and in general\, Britain had to confront. This conference aims to give an overview of this work and analyse the past\, present and future of British intellectual conservatism \nREGISTER \nACCOMMODATION OPTIONS

SUMMARY:Policies for Neighbourhood Renewal
DESCRIPTION:WATCH THE EVENT RECORDING\nOur latest report ‘A Modest Proposal for the Restoration of Neighbourhoods’ calls for a radical shift in the UK’s approach to regeneration and renewal\, one that can give residents a genuine stake in their neighbourhoods by building asset wealth. \nThe report argues for longer-term place-based strategies\, powered by Mayors and devolved authorities\, to deliver new homes and distribute the private ownership of property\, land and productive assets\, among our most disadvantaged communities. \nWe are bringing together an expert panel to discuss and debate the report’s ideas and recommendations: \n\nProf. John Denham\, former SoS for Communities and Local Government\, and Director of the Centre for English Identity and Politics\, University of Southampton\nStephen Jones\, Director\, Core Cities\nMark Morrin\, Head of Policy & Research\, ResPublica (Report Author)\n\n
