@AHRC_India @expertbyexp Thank you so much, that would be great! I'm happy to send across an email with more details about the publication. Feel free to share/DM your email address or if easier, email us at - hello@voicesofcolour.org

@expertbyexp @VoicesofColour1 I could see if one of the UAL libraries are interested in a copy if you like? A lot of our students are interested in socially engaged practice and would be interested in seeing this. Do you have more detail on the publication?

We're due to launch a book on South Asian women's experiences of community, healing & joy in collaboration with @VoicesofColour1 Can folks on our timeline identify any libraries (contacts would be deeply appreciated) where we can freely place our limited 100 copies? 💫

At today's #HiveMinds webinar, Indy Sira @VoicesofColour1 says it's important to challenge preconceptions about how knowledge is created and where the balance of power lies. #CitizenScience bit.ly/46Ez9iS
