Co-hosting discussions with diverse panels of women designers and creators working across the creative industry. These conversations are part of the work done by Dr Rebecca Gamble and myself at The Nottingham Trent University since 2020.
Recent discussions have been held both online and in person to mark International Women's Day and form part of our ongoing work around equity, diversity and inclusion within both education and practise.
The underrepresentation of women, non binary and minority gender identities is the core topic, and to ensure a range of perspectives are voiced and heard we always strive to bring together a diverse mix of people from different design and cultural backgrounds.
