Oxford Conservative Thought Reading Group (Week 6: Conservatism as an 'Ideology')
The Oxford Conservative Thought (OCT) Reading Group is a non-partisan group devoted to academic exploration of small-c conservative political thought. We welcome, and actively encourage, viewpoint diversity and constructive engagement across ideological divides (all good-willed participants are welcome!)

Each week we read one assigned text, and we recommend more for anyone who is very keen!

The OCT meets weekly in term time on Fridays from 4-5:30pm.

Week 6 explores the question of whether conservatism is an ‘ideology’, with a reading from Michael Freeden.
