The Influencing the Corridors of Power (ICOP) project promotes the impact of ongoing university-based research. The project aims to bring researchers and Westminster closer together to address the democratic deficit, which we believe results from encroaching government control over freedom of speech and assembly on SOAS and other university campuses. The project was born out of the five-year AHRC/ESRC-funded project, “Representing Islam on Campus”, and its follow-up, “Voices of Dissent”. We intend for this project to serve as a model for the higher education sector and for democracy more generally.
