Pauline Harris

Senior Associate

Pauline specialises in deliberation and public engagement on challenging and sensitive topics. Her background is in cross-cultural social research in Europe, and areas of expertise include climate change, migration and the origins of political worldviews. She’s passionate about deliberation as a way to bring people together to overcome polarisation, disinformation and the threats our democracies are facing.

This week, Pauline is working on the design of an exciting new project for young people’s involvement with government. She is also looking forward to facilitating workshops for the Genomics, Healthcare and You engagement programme in London this weekend.

Aside from social research, she has a side hustle in journalism, with a focus on culture and politics. She also spends as much time as possible outdoors with friends and family, and you’d want her on your pub quiz team is a round came up about wild mushrooms!
