As public engagement (PE) activities continue to rise in parliaments, our (w/@DT_olorunshola & @_boluajibola) article explores how @ParliamentofRSA shows good practice by institutionalising PE, & how these strengthen its relationship w/ the public.

At the climax of a very eventful period doing a PhD on parliaments and public engagement in Nigeria, I was elated to have been named Faculty of Social Sciences' Postgraduate Researcher of the Year. Thanks to @estrangeirada@A_Beresford@FemiMimiko@akakanni1.
Published tomorrow, with contributions by @A_Meakin, @BYMYong, @CourtenayIlbert, @_Emma_Crewe, @DrHannahWhite, @LucindaMaer, Didier Caluwaerts and Daan Vermassen. Thank you to all contributors for embarking in this reimagining journey with David and me.

What a conclusion to what has been a journey indeed! - a journey of unlearning and relearning, and advancing ideas about legislatures and publics. Many thanks to @estrangeirada & @A_Beresford for the excellent supervision, and to everyone at @POLISatLeeds.
I must have been the luckiest doctoral researcher (studying legislatures) on the planet! - supervised by @estrangeirada, examined by @LordNortonLouth. Thank you for the immense opportunity to learn; and what an honour to be standing in-there😊.
And nearly 30 years ago I came to the UK to do my PhD with @LordNortonLouth. There was a certain beauty today in the symmetry in having my own supervisor acting as the external examiner of my own PhD student @odeyemiisaac. 😊

Just seen this guest post via @ScotParl's SPICe Spotlight blog, on tracking public engagement through the parliamentary process https://t.co/KpZIRydqvU
Nigerian legislatures have many challenges. The @nassnigeria, for instance, is widely perceived by citizens to be corrupt, unnecessary (in its current form, at least), insensitive, & wasteful. Some of the criticisms are, of course, justified;

I draw on my years of research on parliamentary public engagement across contexts, experience working on the research team for the 2022 Global Parliamentary Report (published by @IPUparliament & the @UNDP), & serving on the Exec of @IpenNetwork.
