*Join us for our first event of 2021!*

What you can expect:

During this interactive digital session, inspired by our summer blog post series , we will explore what it means to challenge interlocking systems of oppression in science, sci comm and research. Unpacking what ‘difficult’ means in this context, who benefits from making conversations of systemic power and oppression off limits and what strategies we might employ, to cope, keep going and disengage. 

Our Speaker:
