S2 Ep.7 Campaigning With Josh Townsley

How to Win Arguments with Numbers

In this season we look at different issues surrounding elections. In the seventh episode we talk to Joshua Townsley from the University of Kent about campaigning. There is lots of research about campaigning in politics, but what do we actually know about its effectiveness. We talk about how parties aim to mobilise their supporters and the impact of the internet and social media. The University of Kent Q-Step Centre is part of a multi-million pound national initiative to foster a step change in the quantitative and statistical skills of social sciences undergraduates.
