About Me
There once lived a 23 year old blogger named Andrew Emmerson. He often liked to blog on current affairs, but often throws in academic work and the occasional personal blog.
He has just graduated from the University of Winchester in Politics and Global Studies, and now intends all being well to study a masters in International Politics covering Globalization, Poverty, and Development.
The mystical blogger often can be found tweeting under the name @AAEmmerson, and you can subscribe to his twitter blog account at @Yellow_Bastards.
He is keen to hear from you and loves it when guests leave comments.
