According to Dr Pabst, \u2018Blue Labour\u2019 is the most significant attempt to renew the wider Labour movement and to shift British politics away from the neo-liberal consensus that has dominated the last 40 years. This is part of Adrian\u2019s ongoing research on post-liberal politics, and he will bring prominent speakers to Kent for a series of debates in the run-up to the 2015 General Election.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font: 13px\/1.5em arial, verdana, sans;margin: 0px 0px 2em;padding: 0px;color: #000000;text-indent: 0px;letter-spacing: normal;background-color: #ffffff\">Dr\u00a0Luca Mavelli will use his faculty grant of \u00a31,988 to travel to New York\u00a0in order to carry out archival research.
