Hi there! Welcome to my blog!
My name is James, and I am a third-year sociology student at Roehampton University. I have not been very politically engaged throughout my life, so I aim to use this blog as a place to discuss areas involving active citizenship and political socialization that I feel are underexplored. Particularly areas such as advocating for lowering the voting age to 16, and the political engagement of the LGBTQIA+ community. I hope you enjoy reading my blogs and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
To read up on the Votes-at-16 campaign visit: Votes at 16
This video outlines the debates around lowering the voting age to 16 and enfranchising young people.
