LIVE RECORDING: Finding agency and building bridges in challenging times

So, there's a first: after years of zoom recording we had our very first LIVE recording in a room full of people. And not just any people, but a wonderful crowd of activists, researchers and others working to tackle inequalities and keen to 'do things differently'.
