As an organisation founded on principles of diversity and inclusion, we condemn attacks on "wokeness" in scholarship and education. Teaching and research inspired by feminist, queer and antiracist thought and pedagogies have challenged and enriched our work and society. #EDI #InclusionMatters (2/4)
