The Activist-in-Residence (AiR) programme encourages mutual learning and collaboration between activists, students, and researchers to enhance public-oriented scholarship and community engagement around the consequences of racism and racialisation.
Our residency holders bring a history and an interest in feminist and racial justice activism and organising, action research, working with communities, educators, policy makers or students.
