Activity: EventsWorkshop

Description

Workshop (University of Brighton)

The workshop will bring together feminist groups and projects confronting gendered/racialised/homophobic/transphobic harassment, epistemic oppression and silencing in academic institutions, in social movement spaces, and in interpersonal relationships.
