About my position
I organise weekly public debates – formerly in Parliament Hall and now on YouTube – and oversee the general running of the Union Debating Society, which also offers competitive debate workshops, national and international competitions, and weekly socials.
How my position affects you
The SAF Debates Officer is ultimately responsible for the speakers and topics of public debates, and making sure the Debates Board delivers the best experience for the student body.
About me
I’m passionate about promoting discourse, whether through organising UDS public debates, encouraging people to try out competitive debating or pontificating about Star Trek or Roman politics over a pint. I'm a fourth year studying Ancient History, with a particular focus on Roman politics and strategy, and I'm from Pinner in Middlesex, England. I look forward to meeting many of you at UDS events throughout this year!
Groups I lead
I'm President of Union Debating Society (UDS), which means I lead the Board of Fifteen. I also sit on the SAF, Museums Advisory Panel, and Association Executive Committee.
