About Joshua Chapman
I am a Politics and International Relations student at the University of York. My research project is titled: 'How do social demographic changes influence the spread of populism'. I will look at the Brexit referendum and Trump's election in 2016. These will be my focal points from which I hope to find broader trends about the causes for the growth of populism in modern democracies.
Please ask me about anything politics or international relations related, in particular, political behaviour and psychology; i.e. if something happens, what happens next and why?

    Standing on the shoulders of giants- the end of week four
      I am now starting to write up my report, although it's slow going. This quote that appears on the Google Scholar search engine seems apt, although I've seen it more times than I care to admit it this week!    
    
    Laying the groundwork
      This is the first post in my research project blog, which I aim to update weekly.    
    
    A moment to reflect
