Chief Editor’s Introduction
Dear readers,
Welcome to Populo! We are incredibly pleased to share the next issue of Populo since the summer of 2021.
For those who are unfamiliar with the journal, Populo is a student-led undergraduate journal which aims to publish and showcase excellent first- class assignments. The name itself is Latin for ‘by the people’, but can also be translated as ‘for the people’, truly encompassing the ethos of the journal. As was the case for the previous editions, we received many high-quality submissions, from a variety of modules and degree levels. While the journal does hope to expand its reach into other disciplines for its summer issue, such as American Studies and History, this issue solely focuses on work produced within the Department of Politics, Philosophy and International Relations. This year’s editorial team, who worked alongside myself, consists of four dedicated students. I would like to thank Caitlin Brookes, Isabella Cave, Cai Ellerton and Sophia Thomas for their invaluable input in the journal. I would also like to express my thanks and gratitude to Zeynep Kilicoglu Kirca for her support and guidance throughout the process of completing this issue. Finally, on behalf of all the editors, I would like to thank and congratulate the students whose work is featured in this issue. We all believe that everyone from across the faculty, and wider school, will find the featured articles both thought-provoking and interesting to read.
I hope you enjoy reading this issue, Megan Salter, Chief Editor.
