Join us for a special Welcome Week session featuring Matt Staples, Head of the School of Social Sciences and Global Studies (SSGS), and Dr Edward Wastnidge, Head of Politics and International Studies hosted by the forthcoming Politics, International Relations, and Policy Society. They’ll be sharing how the Open University’s teaching, research, and wider engagement in politics and international relations connect with the aims of our new society. Whether you're passionate about global affairs, policy-making, or political theory, this is a chance to hear directly from leading voices at the OU and discover how you can get involved with the new society.
The Politics, International Relations, and Policy Society unite to foster a vibrant, inclusive, and intellectually rigorous community. Our mission is to promote open dialogue, critical inquiry, and collaborative engagement on the pressing political and international issues of our time.
You are not able to join this society yet, as it is not set up with Open SU. We hope this will happen in the near future and that students will be able to join, but in the meantime, join this session as an introduction to the topic.
