I have set up an academic initiative, Speaking From Margin, to engage with contemporary discourses in the social sciences. It seeks to build academic solidarity for social justice in higher education. We use this initiative to strengthen solidarity between researchers from different marginalised fields and to engage with the evolving knowledge paradigm of the social sciences.
