I spent most of the spring in Bristol, UK, as a Colston Fellow, thanks to the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Bristol. I worked with an amazing group of people involved with the Productive Margins research programme. Here’s a link to my blog post on the IAS site, about the work I did with women activists on the Knowle West housing estate. It includes the “Tips & Tricks” that emerged from the interviews I conducted with the activists.
