On Saturday 21 November, the Law School’s Widening Participation Officer and Researcher Anil Awesti, was interviewed on BBC Radio Coventry and Warwickshire about the launch of our Writing Wrongs essay competition.

The Writing Wrongs Essay Competition is being run by the School of Law and Department of English and provides year 12 students with an exciting opportunity to see their work published in the University of Warwick’s Lacuna online magazine and gain a paid, month-long summer internship with the magazine.

In line with the magazine’s ethos of challenging indifference to suffering and promoting human rights, students will be given an essay title related to the theme of social justice and asked to write a 2,500 word essay. As part of the project, leading academics and writers from Warwick will provide students with advice and guidance on essential research and writing skills through intensive workshops and online resources.
