Amen Kofi Gokah
NTU Postgraduate Researcher
Politics and International Relations
I am interested in becoming the ECN Communications Officer because I would like to serve as a channel for connecting the members of the Association and the public via social media. Being abreast and updated on the use of social media in this contemporary world to inform and propel the activities of organisations or associations like ours. Occupying this position will reflect my driven desire to constantly make meaningful connections, inspire actions, and contribute to a world where communication empowers, enlightens, and unites.
I am drawn to this role because I flourish on the power of words as an excellent communicator to link gaps and build relationships. My passion also dwells on constructing narratives that resonate, whether it's conveying a brand's message, sharing impactful stories, or fostering dialogue within communities.
By becoming the ECN Communications Officer, I aspire to use my skills to influence positive change, promote transparency, and foster collaboration through our social media.
Arvind Kumar
PhD in Politics
Royal Holloway, University of London
I am PSA ECN member, and recently achieved my PhD from the esteemed Department of Politics, IRs, and Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London. Concurrently, I hold a position as a part-time lecturer within the Department of Law and Criminology at RHUL. My responsibilities extend to overseeing the departmental website as ‘website champion’.
Additionally, I proudly serve as a Trustee, specifically in the capacity of Event & Outreach Coordinator, for the British Association for South Asian Studies (BASAS). My appointment would not only bring pertinent experience to the role but also align with PSA’s goal of fostering closer collaboration between professional associations to champion principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion. As a first-generation university entrant from a South Asian background, I believe my selection would significantly contribute to advancing these ideals.
