 | Jane is a Battle of Ideas Committee member and convenor of the Academy of Ideas Parents Forum. This was founded in October 2006 and looks at why the family has become such a focus in contemporary society and what consequences that has. Jane wrote the foreword to Standing Up to Supernanny which was shaped by the Parenting Strand hosted at the Battle of Ideas |
Standing Up to Supernanny [foreword] (Societas, 2009)
Can conservatism survive the 21st century?
"To contribute to Battle of Ideas is to add a few words to a giant, communal speech-bubble out of the gap-toothed mouth of British opinion. It is a strong reminder that the joys of free, uncalculated speech and the right to attack orthodoxies can in no way be assumed in 2012 – that we use them or lose them."
