PSA 2025 ✅

Had a great time in Birmingham. Great to catch and meet up with so many colleagues and friends and see and discuss so much brilliant research.

My first ever trip to Rome. Loved it! 🇮🇹 ☀️ 😎

Easing myself in to work this morning by finally reading the full White Paper.

First review in from my gran on my latest book: Territorial Politics in Catalonia and Scotland: Nations in Flux

Fantastic event organised by colleagues at the Heseltine Institute tonight with @andyburnham.bsky.social and @lcrmayor.bsky.social discussing the legacy of Hillsborough, the prevalence of place-based leadership and the need for a radical rewiring of the UK

Yesterday, the PSA Territorial Politics group held an online discussion: ‘Across Borders: A Comparative Look at 2024 Multilevel Elections’

We had a stellar panel who shared their insights from four fascinating cases 🇧🇪 🇫🇷 🇮🇳 🇬🇧

Thanks again to all panelists and guests for joining us.
