About Us
REPRESENT is the Research Centre for the Study of Parties and Democracy. REPRESENT focuses on three key research themes: populism, participation and democracy support.
Events
Throughout 2018, REPRESENT will host a seminar series (alternating between the two universities) and a high-profile conference, ‘Political Parties in the Age of Populism’ (to be held in Birmingham in April 2018).
POPULISM: Can we fix it?
On 26 April 2018, leading academics, politicians, activists and practitioners will offer up their ‘big idea’ for responding to populism in a series of three-minute pitches, with the audience voting for the winning idea. Join us to debate whether we can – or should – ‘fix’ populism.
