After the UK voted to leave the European Union in 2016, a nationwide network of pro-EU movements and groups emerged. For many, the focus of their efforts was to convince both the public and government to reverse course and think again about leaving the bloc entirely.Other groups campaigned for a so-called 'soft Brexit', respecting the result of the vote but pushing for the UK to remain in a customs union or in closer alignment with the EU than many in the pro-Brexit camp had called for.But, when the UK officially left the EU on 2020, much of the discourse seemed to die away and campaign groups fell silent. So what changed and where are they now?In this episode of Call My Supervisor! we speak to PhD student Kai Steemers, whose research is focussed on the activities past, present and future of pro-EU movements in the UK.We also catch up with Kai about life as a PhD, his experience of teaching at King's and his advice for those thinking about pursuing their studies.
