What is the effect of mobile phone ownership on civic and political engagement? With the spread of low-cost hand-held phones to all corners of the globe, the impact of the mobile technology revolution on politics is of great importance. Existing observational studies generally find a positive association between mobile communication and civic and political participation, including on violent and non-violent mobilization. Experimental evidence has been lacking on this question, however.

Three group sessions on Mindfulness in Politics will be held in Seminar Room A, Manor Road Building at 12:00pm on Monday 19 February, Monday 26 February, and Monday 5 March.

These sessions are designed to deepen your experience and understanding of mindfulness, and to explore its utility for increasing wellbeing and managing stress and overload at work and in studying. Participants will learn a variety of evidence-based mindfulness practices, the theory behind them, and how to integrate them into their day.
