Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our Olive Gibbs event. Our brilliant panel helped to shine a light on a remarkable figure in Oxford’s history, whose legacy deserves more recognition. We’re also very grateful to our audience for sharing their personal stories of Olive Gibbs!

Very much enjoyed this discussion of New Labour and its legacy last night - our guest John Denham was in particular both critical and reflective, and I think our emergent views of the Third Way as history got pushed forward quite a way. 👍👍👍

Think Human @thinkhumanfest.bsky.social · May 8

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us yesterday evening for our New Labour in Power event! It was great to hear @jydenham.bsky.social and @gsoh31.bsky.social discuss the Blair governments and what lessons might be drawn for our current Labour government.
