Populo - Volume 1, Issue 2

Chief Editor’s Introduction

Dear readers,

Welcome to the Summer Issue of Populo! After the success of our Spring Issue, we are pleased to showcase even more excellent work produced by Swansea University students within this issue. After expanding the journal’s reach to now also include American Studies and History, alongside Politics, Philosophy and International Relations as standard, we have been able to further disseminate diverse and high-quality pieces from across a variety of different modules. Dissimilarly to the previous issue, this time we have decided to include a featured piece . This was an element of previous Populo editions and we felt it would be great to reignite the tradition. Our featured piece within this issue is a final year group report centred around how differing levels of trust in political institutions affects the nature of political participation. The current editorial team, who worked alongside myself, consists of four committed students: Caitlin Brookes, Isabella Cave, Cai Ellerton and Sophia Thomas. We had wonderful support from Dr Zeynep Kilicoglu Kirca. On behalf of all the editors, I would like to thank and congratulate the students whose work is featured within this issue. As this is the final issue of the journal for the 2022-23 academic year, we would also like to thank those who have supported the journal in its return.

We are incredibly proud of what the journal has managed to achieve this year and hope that all of our readers have enjoyed what we have produced.

Megan Salter, Chief Editor.
