Marc Kidson

Born and raised in Somerset, I attended comprehensive school and Sixth-Form College before getting a place at St. John’s College, Oxford to read PPE.

I have been President of the Oxford University European Affairs Society, and the St John’s philosophy society. I worked as a mentor for disadvantaged students in a school in Banbury last year and I am currently the Comment Editor of the Cherwell newspaper in Oxford.

I will be sitting my Finals exams in June, including modules in Ethics, sociological theory and social policy.
