ODA Summer Workshop 2023
Our inaugural summer research workshop brought together a series of presentations on the Group's new and upcoming research, including:
- The impact of electoral reforms on Parliamentary behaviour (Martin Hansen)
- Public support and opposition to voting rights tested in a series of survey experiments (Jeff Karp and Laura Sudulich, Essex)

We were pleased to welcome Prof Rosie Campbell to discuss her work on audit experiments and measuring MPs' responsiveness (how to do it and stay out of trouble).
