This talk examines how the humanitarian debate in Oxford during the Spanish Civil War reflected broader tensions between political ideologies and moral responsibility. It explores how civil society groups, academics, and local advocates engaged with questions of food aid and relief, navigating propaganda and competing narratives to shape public discourse and action. By focusing on Oxford’s unique role in these debates, the talk sheds light on the interplay between local activism and global humanitarian concerns.
