I'm a third year History student at the University of York, with an interest in archives and public history. Improving the accessibility of history is of great importance to me, both in terms of access to resources and the historical narrative. I've had experience in archives ranging from the Cambridge Arts Theatre, dating from 1934, to St Peter's School, York, which dates back to 627 AD. Whilst at the Arts Theatre I also received accredited training from the Oral History Society, which I have since been able to apply to other oral history community projects.

Hello! I am a third year student of Human, Social and Political Science at the University of Cambridge specialising in politics and anthropology. My Laidlaw research project focused on what the presence of political microtargeting says about modern political engagement, and for my Leadership in Action project I spent 8 weeks volunteering at a refugee community centre in Serres, Greece!

My name is Saskia and I'm a first year Geography undergraduate at the University of Cambridge. I'm interested in all things physical and human geography, but in particular I'm passionate about exploring how these physical and human dimensions overlap when talking about Climate Change. I enjoy sports and socialising outside of work life!

Currently at the University of Cambridge studying Human, Social, and Political Sciences, specialising in Sociology. Experienced in law, politics, and campaigning. Interested in pursuing equality through social policy and human rights law.
