Thank you for sharing and for the book recommendation, Rachel! True change and shifts come about when we uplift others as well as ourselves, and it's important not to forget the small gestures as well as the big ones! 

Great reflections about 'Leading from Behind', Koshiki! 

I'm very much looking forward to working with you too, Stana! 😊

Kirsten, this was such a fascinating journey into the experiences of white lesbian communities from 1945-1970. It was shocking to me to hear that half of American women had had their 1st child during this time. I was really interesting to read about the impact of mother-daughter relationships on the daughter's progression to her lesbian identity and the importance of peer groups for these communities, varying depending on class. It's eye-opening to realise that many young women were living at home as it wasn't so common to purchase a house as a single woman! Really excited to see the continuation of your research and your LiA next year, creating better support systems for young queer people. 

Alice, this is such an interesting examination of Chinese Cuban Diaspora, particularly in the context of Sojourner theory! I found it fascinating to follow the story of Guillermo and his adherence and deviation from the theory, as well as all the external factors such as the turbulent politics in both China and Cuba. It was also interesting to hear about the history behind communities such as China town, and the reasoning behind individuals choosing to immigrate to Cuba over Mexico or Peru. It was also super fascinating to her about Pedro's nuanced identity, being part of the second generation. 

Really enjoyed reading your research reflecting on global methods tackling climate change and how Labour can learn from these, Yotam! There is a lot Britain can learn from Australia, Britain and Europe, such as establishing a green bank to invest renewable energy and clean technology, with the aim of lowering bills. Your research is all the more relevant in context of the new labour government!

Eavan - this is a really interesting study showing how perspectives surrounding multilingualism and monolingualism have evolved throughout time! It's really crucial to bear in mind ways the myth of monolingualism is used to marginalise immigrant communities and important to acknowledge nations and languages as fluid rather than fixed. Your solutions for overcoming these issues and supporting diverse realities and ethnolinguistic communities are truly inspiring! 

Sandy - this is some really inspiring research looking into child malnutrition and all the complicated and nuanced factors that play into it. It's particularly fascinating how much of an impact cultural background, tradition and cultural practises have on ideas and beliefs about child nutrition. A really fascinating read!
