Pauline Harris
Deputy Director
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 focused on reporting on the use of AI in local government and concluding workshops with the Ada Lovelace Institute on the use and governance of Advanced AI Assistants.
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 if a round came up about wild mushrooms!
