Meet Matt!
Meet Professor Matt Ryan, Professor of Governance and Public Policy from Southampton University, who will be visiting on 28 January 2025, 2-3pm for an ‘in person’ talk and networking session on the Talbot campus. His research crosses several disciplinary boundaries and focuses on democratic innovation, participation in politics and policymaking, as well as improving social research methods.
This event is part of our university’s preparations for the Future Leader Fellowship. Since January 2020 he has been a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow (keep an eye out for our upcoming UKRI Future Leader fellowships workshop) leading the Rebooting Democracy project, which aims to understand which innovations in public participation restore and sustain democracy. Matt has held visiting positions at the University of Canberra, as JQYA International Fellow at Geothe University- Frankfurt, and as a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. He is founding co-director of the Centre for Democratic Futures and Policy Director at the Web Science Institute.
