We wanted to find a way to celebrate the work being conducted by these students and share their research with PSA members and the wider academic community. This Undergraduate Research Hub represents the hard work of a new generation of political-thinkers! We'll keep updating this page as and when we receive student research. Why not have a browse, find a subject you're interested in or something completely new!
