Executive
President
Ananya Venkatesan
Vice-President
Alexander Fraser
Honorary Secretary
Jordan Hunter
Hailing from Ohio, Jordan has been a dedicated member to the society for three years. His resume includes being a former rower, Editor-in-Chief of the Glasgow Guardian, and breaking the society’s mace on his first day as macer. He is often cited as being the most American American, making him easily distinguishable in debates. When not writing the Glasgow Guardian and yelling in the union, you can find him watching hockey or American football, which he insists is the true football, and spouting random facts about Ohio which proves the world all Ohio, and always has been.
Honorary Treasurer
Sharath Nambiar
Sharath is a third year Law and Politics student hailing from the ~exotic~ city of Dubai, all the way from the tumultuous Middle East <insert gasp here>. Tired of their law degree, and while in a perpetual state of existential dread, they assure you that they can be trusted to be in charge of all the society’s finances. Outside of Dialectic, Sharath is a massive advocate for ice cream to become a staple within the food pyramid, and has fought long and hard for the edification of the populous regarding the moral superiority of red wine to all other sorts of beverages.
Ast. Honorary Secretary
Alex Palmer
Alex is a second-year Classics and Politics student who hails from a small town in Northamptonshire: a county he appreciates no one can place on a map. Originally elected onto Dialectic Board as a First-Year Rep, he can generally be found sitting with a cup of tea and his nose in one of the books he’s accumulated in that large pile on his desk. Other hobbies include getting inordinately lost on long walks, playing his violin (sometimes even well), and wandering around museums. He also enjoys learning ancient languages, so if you need to summon the dead, he’s your man.
Non-executive
Whip Secretary
Kajetan Puchalski
Publicity Secretary
Lauren Lilley
Lauren is a third year Theology and Politics student but all you really need to know about her is she loves aperol spritz and her dog. Like, she really really really loves her dog. She even wants Queenie to be made an honorary member of dialectic. She is famously ‘class on social media’ so is super excited to be the publicity secretary for Dialectic this year and can’t wait to attempt to teach old man Alexander some TikTok dances and embarrass herself on the internet for shock factor as she has no shame.
Macer
Duncan Henderson
Welfare Officer
Radoslav Serafimov
Social Convenor
Sarah Dewar
Sarah is a third year Politics and Economics student. She has previously served as an ordinary board member. When not involved in dialectic or debates she can usually be found declaring her love for Eurovision, baking ridiculous quantities of cookies or trying some new and obscure handicraft.
Charity Officer
Sophia Alvi
Sophia loves the sound of her own voice. And the Harry Potter BOOKS. ??

Past Dialectic President
Gwendolen Da Sousa Correa
Lennie is the longest serving Dialectic Board member having been on board since 2018. This makes her, in the Westminster fashion, mother of Dialectic board. She takes this responsibility very seriously and will be standing by at all events with juice boxes of the Dark Cherry variety and snacks for when peoples blood sugar is crashing. She also has numerous bits of generic advice for when the organised fun seems too much. She worked as a nanny for a summer so feels she is well suited to this role though is aware of the challenge as the 5 year old she looked after was very mature and the same can’t be said for all of Dialectic Board. Previously she has served as First Year Rep, Assistant Honorary Secretary, and as President.
GUU Convener of Debates
Joseph Hutchison
They didn’t elect me so they can’t kick me off! I am a 4th year politics student from Troon that reached my democratic potential in the dialectic society 2 years ago so has now chosen the undemocratic back door to get back on committee. I like old societies and reading archives and chinning pints. Yeehaw.
