Summary

My name is CJ Nicholson and I am a Global Affairs major at George Mason University, concentrating in global governance with a minor in Spanish. I am also a part of the Fall 2021 Global Politics Fellows cohort, and I am completing an internship with Democracy onAir this fall as well.

I became a member of Democracy onAir to help dispel much of the misinformation occurring in current politics in the United States. Democracy onAir’s goal to bring truthful, unbiased information resonated strongly with me and I wanted to assist to the best of my abilities in reaching that goal.

About

Christopher Nicholson 2As someone who comes from a rural area of Virginia, with many community members, friends, and family often misunderstanding elections, voting, candidates, etc. the goal of Democracy onAir is both very important and personal to me.

My freshman year, I studied abroad in Spain, which really began my first dive into the politics of another country. I had previously studied and kept myself updated with politics here in the United States, but being in Spain really opened new doors to me. I came back with a growing interest in what was happening around the world, and quickly went from being undecided to declaring a Global Affairs major. Being a Global Affairs major, I learn and study much about the relations between countries and their complex intricacies. However, it is just as important to have a complete understanding of local and regional politics as well, as these can often shape what direction international events play out on. Furthermore, just as in the United States, misinformation and more and more extreme politics have begun to become more prevalent abroad as well. Domestic and global events over the past couple years have only strengthened my want to help improve the state of politics as best as I can.
