On 3rd October, the @universityofessex.bsky.social team took part in Freshers’ Fair, welcoming new and returning students to the Colchester campus. We asked: What does intersectionality or equality mean to you? The responses reflected a rich diversity and highlighted how vital these concepts are.

Join us in Coimbra or online for this seminar on intersectional equality (law) in public life. I look forward to discussing intersectionality in the private sphere, and to catching up with colleagues from the @eu-ciembly.bsky.social project: www.uc.pt/en/fduc/univ...

Looking forward to this workshop tomorrow at City Law School on the topic of EU Law for a Volatile and Uncertain World, and to meeting new colleagues. I will be discussing all things intersectionality and citizens' assemblies, including the deficiencies within the existing EU equality law framework.
