    Ep 4: What's the state of culture in Europe? With MEP Niklas Nienass, Constanze Itzel & Uroš Milutinović

    Welcome back to Generation Politics! Thanks again to everyone who voted in our poll and this time, we take on another of your most popular chosen topics: Intercultural exchange in Europe. We unpack this vast topic with three guests, but what lies really heart of this week’s episode are the questions: "what does it mean to be European in 2021?" and "what opportunities are there for young Europeans today to discover each other’s cultures?" We speak to Green MEP Niklass Nienass about the EU’s work on culture, Constanze Itzel, Director of the Europe-wide museum House of European History around the tensions in creating a museum that tells a unified narrative of a diverse continent, and Uroš Milutinović, a 18-year old pro-EU Serb, who tells us how both Euroscepticism and Europhilia are gripping Serbia’s young people today.

    Ep 3: What's the deal with Brexit? With Sir Stephen Wall

    Thanks again to everyone who voted for the political issues that matter most to them - this week, we take on another of your most popular chosen topics: Brexit. With only 2 weeks left to finalise a trade deal , the UK and EU seem to have made some progress in negotiations - but a Hard Brexit is still very possible. To help us cut through complexities, look past the technicalities and better understand an ever-evolving Brexit, we are joined by Sir Stephen Wall, longtime diplomat and the UK's former Permanent Representative (de facto Ambassador) to the EU.

    Ep 2: How are countries handling higher education during the pandemic? With Matilda Ernkrans

    Welcome back to Generation Politics! Thank you to everyone who voted for the political issues which matter most to them - this week, we'll be taking on one of the most popular chosen topics: how different governments across the world are approaching University students and University policy amid the pandemic. We zoom in on one government, Sweden - which gained international attention this year over its more voluntarist pandemic approach - and talk to Matilda Ernkrans, Minister for Higher Education and Research. We discuss whether the country's Covid-19 response was effective in retrospect, how Sweden is protecting graduate prospects in a coronavirus job market, if it is factoring students' mental health into its policymaking - and whether nations like the UK should reconsider tuition fees in a year where the student experience has been so different.

    Ep 1: How do we make sense of the US election? With David Runciman & Bill Barnard

    Welcome to Generation Politics - a new podcast and joint initiative by two Cambridge University societies, European Horizons Cambridge and Selwyn Politics Society. Across this series, our aim will be to help empower young people – and young Europeans in particular – by shedding light on the political issues which are most important to Gen Z, our generation. In our inaugural episode, we take on the recent US elections. We unpack this pivotal event with David Runciman, Professor of History and Politics at Cambridge and host of the hugely popular podcast, Talking Politics, and Bill Barnard, attendee to 7 Democratic and Republican National Conventions and former chair of the Democratic Party’s official arm in Britain, Democrats Abroad UK.  We tackle the implications of this election, on populism, polarisation, climate change and on many other issues.
