Episode 4: Andrew Hunter

  • Summary

  • In this week’s podcast, Michael is joined by Andrew Hunter, a fourth year PhD student at King’s College London, to discuss his research on how elections are used as an effective tool in a representative democracy to achieve democratic objectives. 

    Michael delves into what this means in relation to Andrew’s latest paper on ethnic minority candidates, the implications of this, what inspired him to study this for his PhD and what he wish he’d known before starting.
