A great #PSA25 including the conference dinner at the magnificent Birmingham Town Hall. It was an honour to help present the @polstudiesassoc.bsky.social Founding Fellows with their awards.

Great to meet up with Joe Baldwin from Bridgend College and Unloc to discuss a Changemakers Academy for Wales. Delighted my Changemakers research could feed into this discussion: fass.open.ac.uk/research/pro... @oupolitics.bsky.social @cerithrhys.bsky.social
