As part of LGBT History Month, I work collectively with lecturers and students at Newcastle University to collect, analyse and display photographs that capture how spaces cultivate, shape, and impede LGBTQ+ inclusivity on campus. 

This project is a SACS EDI initiative supported by HASS EDI. It helps raise awareness of LGBTQ+ inclusivity on campus.

Results of the project are displayed as a gallery on the University website.

I worked as part of the Research and Education for Sustainable Development (PGRRESD) project. The project comprises a multi-disciplinary team of PhD candidates at Newcastle University. It aimed to create spaces for research students to explore sustainable development from different perspectives based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) Framework. 

In November 2021, PGRRESD successfully organised a four-day workshop called ‘Sustaina-WHAT?!’.

The outcome of the project was presented at various conferences, namely National Sustainability Symposium 2022, Learning & Teaching Conference 2022 at Newcastle University and Northumbria University.

In June 2022, the project was nominated and won the Environment Award in the annual 'Celebrating Success' event at Newcastle University.
