James Hood

I am a 19-year-old Politics and International Studies student at the University of Warwick. I am a reliable, hardworking, and conscientious individual with a strong interest in politics and diplomacy. I am seeking part-time or summer employment where I can develop transferable skills and gain practical experience.

I have a keen interest in non-fiction, particularly military history and contemporary political affairs. I have written for my school's SGS Historian magazine on the 1979 Iranian Revolution and its relevance to the wider Cold War. Additionally, I contributed an article to Perspective magazine at Warwick, analysing rising anti-MAGA sentiment within the Republican Party.

I am eager to pursue further writing and research opportunities. I am available to start work immediately and will have full availability from late May onwards.
