Public sociology in action! My first time as a scholar featured in our local newspaper, Cambridge Independent. Alexandre Trindade and I being interviewed by the lovely journalist Mike Scialom.

Journalist Mike Scialom interviewed us for an article about the event we organised at the Faculty of Education, which drew an unusually large and diverse audience. Many attendees travelled from London, and a significant number were non-academics, joining scholars from Cambridge in this vibrant gathering.
