The team responsible for commissioning content for the publications will be bolstered by activist and researcher Yasmin Begum, strategic communications executive Theo Davies-Lewis, writer and psychotherapeutic counsellor Grace Quantock, as well as the winner of our Young Writers Competition, Hannah Watkin, who takes up a year’s membership of the group as part of her prize package.
Yasmin Begum said: “I am thrilled to be offered a position working with the Institute of Welsh Affairs on the welsh agenda. I’ve long been a fan of the work that the IWA undertakes and I look forward to creating, commissioning and editing exciting new work about the Welsh cultural and political sphere, working with the rest of the editorial group.”
Editor of the welsh agenda, Dylan Moore said: “We have long planned to expand the editorial group with the intention of broadening the content and appeal of the welsh agenda, as well as the range of contributors we are able to give platform to, both in print and online.
“I’m really excited about working with the new members of the team to take the publications to the next level. It’s a critical time for Wales in so many ways and these immensely talented young people will I am sure be at the forefront of public discourse in the next few decades. It’s a privilege to have them on board.”
Existing members of the newly expanded group include Rhys ap Gwilym (Senior Lecturer in Economics, Bangor University), Noreen Blanluet (Director of Co-Production Network Wales), Geraint Talfan Davies (former chair of the IWA and Welsh National Opera), Anwen Elias (Reader in Politics, Aberystwyth University), Gareth Evans (Director of Education, Yr Athrofa), Gerald Holtham (Managing Partner, Cadwyn Capital LLP) and Marc Thomas (CEO, Doopoll).
Funded by the Books Council of Wales and sent out to members of the IWA as well as being available in bookshops, libraries, museums and galleries across Wales, the welsh agenda is one of the country’s leading current affairs publications.
