  • Fermenting Futures: An Artistic Exploration of Yeast Biotechnology

    Alex May, Anna DumitriuARTICLELeonardo2022References: 3

    The Fermenting Futures project is a body of artworks by the authors that explore the importance of yeast from cultural, scientific, ethical, and aesthetic perspectives. The project was created through an embedded artists’ residency at the Institute of Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria. Yeast’s ability to ferment alcohol and make bread rise has played a key role in th…

  • Empire loyalists and ‘Commonwealth men’: The Round Table and the end of empire

    Alex MayCHAPTERBritish Culture and the End of…2017

    The fringe groups such as the League of Empire Loyalists took very different views of the 'multi-racial' Commonwealth. The Round Table was founded, as an early fund-raising document put it, with the 'one and only purpose' of orchestrating a movement 'to bring about the closer union of the British Empire'. The Round Table's commitment to imperial union dissolved rapidly in the 1940s, as a result primarily of the changes in the international system…

  • The Commonwealth and Britain’s Turn to Europe, 1945–73

    Alex MayARTICLEThe Round Table2013Cited by: 6

    British policy-makers in the decades after the Second World War sought to frame British foreign policy in terms of three 'circles', the Commonwealth, the US and western Europe . Moves towards European integration threatened to shut Britain out of one circle and severely diminish its influence in the other two. The pull of the Commonwealth was fading, but it remained the single most important issue in Britain's first negotiations to join the Europ…

  • Does the Commonwealth Need a Headship at All

    Alex MayARTICLEThe Round Table2012

    The Queen’s impact as Head of the Commonwealth has been a remarkable one. Catapulted into the job at the age of 25, she has filled it for more than 95% of its existence and has impressed it with he

  • The Round Table and Imperial Federation, 1910–17

    Alex MayARTICLEThe Round Table2010Cited by: 1

    The Round Table was founded in 1910 with the aim that it should eventually campaign for some form of imperial federation. Most historians have argued that it was doomed from the start, in particular because it was bound to run up against the rising tide of Dominion nationalism. This paper argues instead that the Round Table was divided internally over federation; that Dominion nationalism was but one of a number of problems confronting the organi…

  • The round table and the post‐war commonwealth, 1945–1966

    Alex MayARTICLEThe Round Table1997Cited by: 1References: 2

    The late 1940s were a period of rapid and profound change in the Commonwealth relationship. After heated debate, The Round Table abandoned its commitment to the long‐term goal of a Commonwealth federation. Thereby, it lost some of its original driving purpose. In some other respects, the character of The Round Table changed. Nevertheless, it continued to take a distinctive line on matters relating to the Commonwealth, and was prominent (and somew…
