We are committed to supporting individuals from communities that have historically been marginalised and discouraged from progressing to academic research through structurally embedded forms of exclusion and bias. We particularly encourage submissions from researchers from Global Majority communities and researchers working in the Global South.

We look forward to welcoming you.
