    Throughout the 1970s, the Overseas Students’ Bureau (OSB), a working group within the Sheffield University Students’ Union (SUSU), supported overseas students studying in Sheffield. Through a range of actions and activities it encouraged overseas students to become more involved in the students’ union and to build friendships and ‘integrate’ with British students in Sheffield. By the second half of the 1970s, however, these activities were placed…

  • Nicholas J. Barnett. Britain’s Cold War

    Open AccessJODI BURKETTARTICLEThe American Historical Review2020

    Over the past few decades, cultural histories of the Cold War have increased in number and popularity. While initially they focused on the cultural impacts of the Cold War on the United States, there is now a growing field of work that examines these impacts on other parts of the world, particularly Europe. The two books discussed here focus on Britain, specifically England. Neither of these volumes really engages with geographical variety within…

  • The National Union of Students and transnational solidarity, 1958–1968

    JODI BURKETTARTICLEEuropean Review of History Revue…2014Cited by: 4References: 8

    In 1968 student activism and the international connections between students became a source of interest and concern throughout the world. These international connections, however, were far from new. Internationalism has always been at the core of the National Union of Students of England, Wales and Northern Ireland (NUS), the largest student organisation in the UK. The NUS represented the majority of British students, although their policies were…

  • Contesting the Moral High Ground

    JODI BURKETTARTICLETwentieth Century British History2014

    In this book, Paul T. Phillips sets out to provide ‘a historical analysis of the moral philosophies and agendas of a quartet of prominent figures who reached the apogee of their careers during the long sixties in Britain’ (p. 3). He aims to explore the context of their ideas, how these ideas were transmitted to the public, and, as much as possible, their impact (p. 3). While this book does successfully analyse the moral philosophies of four promi…

  • The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and changing attitudes towards the Earth in the nuclear age

    Open AccessJODI BURKETTARTICLEThe British Journal for the…2012Cited by: 1References: 14

    The nuclear age had a profound impact on politics and international affairs. More fundamentally, it altered the way people saw the planet and their relationship with it. These attitudes changed gradually in the post-war period, with the 1960s a key transitional moment. This article explores these changing attitudes towards the environment within the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). At the beginning of the 1960s CND's concerns about nuclear…

  • Re-defining British morality

    JODI BURKETTARTICLETwentieth Century British History2010Cited by: 6

    This article examines the articulation and reflection of Britishness by leaders and members of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in the 1960s. Members of CND believed that Britain had a distinctive world role which was founded on, and informed by, their morality. This morality, like the British character it helped to define, was not static but ever changing. CND was thus not simply reflecting existing ideas and attitudes to Britishness—a…

  • After the Bomb

    JODI BURKETTARTICLETwentieth Century British History2010

    Matthew Grant is quite right to assert that ‘the cold war must be seen as a dominant backdrop to British history after 1945, as dominant as the story of economic decline which traditionally haunts any discussion of contemporary British history’ (p. 3). This book does an excellent job of showing the importance ascribed by several governments to the Cold War and planning for nuclear war. After the Bomb traces the pattern of thought on these questio…
