Personal profile

Overview

My name is Liam McLoughlin, and I joined the department in 2021, having previously served at the University of Salford and Birkbeck, University of London. I am a Trustee and member of the Executive Committee of the Political Studies Association, and a committee member for the new Technology, Internet, and Policy (TIP) specialist group.

My research relates to the ways in which new communication platforms have changed the way we conduct politics. For example, I have researched and published on how social media has changed theories of representation between citizens and those who seek to represent them. Relatedly, I have published on how digital platforms facilitate new communicative practices through memes, or abuse towards politicians. If you asked me to summarise my research into five key areas, I’d probably go with: political communication; social media; MPs & parliament; platform governance & representation theory.
