This week, the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Aberdeen hosted an event featuring Kirsty Blackman MP.
Blackman spoke to students about her journey into Westminster, highlighting her commitment to campaigning and constituent casework. She was joined by her Parliamentary Adviser, Alma Moss-Bokare, who told students about her path to working in Parliament and her experience in internships at the UN and European Parliament. Students engaged in an extensive Q&A with Blackman and Moss-Bokare about current political trends, routes into representative politics, and the challenges facing women and young people today. The discussion provided timely insights into the evolving landscape of UK politics, giving students a valuable opportunity to learn about careers and the realities of parliamentary work.
