Great CTSG event today as part of the University of Brighton’s Knowledge Exchange week. CTSG members shared their brilliant and diverse research projects all with addressing inequalities at their core. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
Inspired by the diverse, interesting and important work of my @ctsgbrighton.bsky.social, unified by their interest in people and enabling #SocialChange! With the state of global politics, it feels like a huge privileged to have this space, and the work itself - an ongoing act of #Resistance.
