Well said @tesshart_. Leaving the building to calls of "shame on you" will be a lasting memory. History won't remember what awards we got for social responsibility, it will remember the actions we took to stand up against oppression. @SocialResponUoM#MaDAwards
It was truly inspiring to hear the breadth and impact of work recognised by @SocialResponUoM#MaDAwards. However, I left with mixed emotions. I am disappointed that the event failed to acknowledge the Manchester Camp of Resistance for Palestine that lies opposite the venue 1/
The second winner of the Outstanding contribution to local/civic engagement is @tesshart_ for ‘Echoes of displacement’- a comic book narrating the story of people growing older while seeking sanctuary in the UK Congratulations Tess! @PhDSoSS@uomhums@MUARG1@UoMEngage#MaDAwards
"confirmed my belief in humanity", reflection from one of the co-production collaborators. Brilliant work led by @lutilang and @skyarker. Being part of the project has given me me new perspectives on faith, community and collaboration. Lots of food for thought.
@LeverhulmeTrust
