Eliot Jones presents at RGS-IBG Annual International Conference 2021

In August 2021, third year PhD student Eliot Jones presented his paper, Brexit, rural identity and the pursuit of epistemic trust in the era of online agricultural communities, at the RGS-IBG Annual International Conference.

Eliot’s study looks at how members of the UK farming community engage online in the aftermath of Brexit. This research sheds light on the under-appreciated political influence of such online groups, which is made possible by under-researched digital technologies.
