How can we engage constructively with politics, while simultaneously holding our leaders to account? How do we respond to populism and distrust in elites as an academic institution, and as politically engaged individuals? How do we approach social media and disinformation, in the context of impartiality and free speech?
Join Mary Hockaday, Dr James Wood, Dr Lee de-Wit, and Jo Coburn (who you may recognise from the BBC’s Politics Live) to discuss how we can make politics better, together.
