: About Me

My name is Adam Hummel and I graduated last year from York University in Toronto with a double honours degree in Political Science and History.
I am currently living in London, England, working as the Education Officer for a large student organization, and am also working part time as a Tour Guide around London for the Big Bus Company.

I write frequently for various publications in Canada, and am trying to get some of my work recognized.

My passion is politics and through my writing, I try to learn more about various subjects in order to get more involved in the political process and put my knowledge to use, in order to eventually get involved in and find work in the fields of diplomacy and conflict resolution.

Hope you enjoy my work!
