Polyphony
Traditionally used to describe music, the term 'Polyphony' refers to the style of employing a range of individual melodies that, when combined, harmonise with one another. We feel it captures the aim of this economics and politics website, which is to expose our readers to a diversity of voices and viewpoints, ultimately encouraging their curiosity and engagement in fruitful debate.
Published articles explore topics ranging from current affairs to key economic and political ideas developed by scholars in the fields. However, this list is not exhaustive given the interconnected nature of these disciplines with so many others: history, geography and the sciences to name a few.
The website's unique feature is that all articles are written by students with a keen interest in politics and economics, for students who wish to broaden their knowledge of these subjects by reading accessible content. So, if you are interested in writing an article for the website, please contact an editorial team member (details below).
Otherwise, we hope you enjoy immersing yourself in this polyphony of economics and politics content!

Gauri Khanna
I'm a sixth-form student at Nottingham High School, studying maths, further maths, economics and Spanish. I love reading around the A-level economics curriculum and exploring its link with politics, particularly in the global context. This fascination with economics and politics is something I seek to share with my peers; as co-head of the school's PPE society, I have been able to discuss my areas of interest with other students and in the past, we have looked at topics ranging from game theory to political philosophy. An editorial role in Polyphony is therefore a fantastic opportunity for me to develop my enthusiasm for these subjects and hopefully, spread it to other readers. I look forward to reading your article submissions!

I am a sixth-form student at Nottingham High School, studying maths, further maths, economics, and history for my A-levels, and hoping to study economics at university. However, like Gauri and Otto, my passion for economics expands beyond the horizons of the A-level course. Having written many economics articles of my own, as well as tackling interesting questions for essay competitions, such as explaining the role of governments in managing economies, I love the feeling of having my own pieces of work published for others to see. Therefore, it is great to be able to extend this fulfilling opportunity to others, through my role as editor of Polyphony. I’m happy to answer any questions and I’m really excited to read your articles.

I'm also a sixth-form student at Nottingham High School. I study English Literature, History, and Politics, and lead the Humanities and Social Science club and co-lead PPE society. Typically, I find my interests directed towards big ideas and crucial ideological concepts – whether that be in politics, sociology, anthology, history or even philosophy. My interests are wide ranging, having led meetings on topics from Foucault to the Social contract to post-colonial theory. Moreover, I massively encourage Polyphony article writing participants, or anyone who interacts with the website, to take such topics further, really getting to the foundational core of many of the key ideas discussed, as I believe this is where the beauty of many ideas displays itself. One of the reasons I believe it is important to have the Polyphony, and websites similar to it, is the opportunity for students to constantly expand their learning, about key concepts but also about current affairs and social histories. As an editor, I truly believe that such a tool for enlargement helps to better everyone’s lives. Feel free to ask me any questions.
