PSA Conference 2015: Specialist Group Events
Over PSA Conference 2015, we have a number of events schedules, including three panels, our specialist group meeting, and a reception.
The group organised a re-launch reception in the Palace of Westminster on the 25 November 2014, with guest speaker Angela Eagle MP (pictured below). With new convenors for the group and plenty of activity planned and implemented, we wanted to mark the re-launch of the group and, as a result, place the study of Parliament at the centre of political research.
