Past event
This online event hosted by the Social Justice SIG celebrated how colleagues have had an impact through their research and work. All change achieved through our research is important. Change we achieve through research can affect a small number of individuals, a single class, a university, a community or even a broader group. This session shared experiences of how researchers have brought about change and any tips and advice others can achieve through their work.
