🗣️ Your Voice Matters
This launch event is focused on hearing from YOU! What kinds of activities would help you decompress? Arts and crafts? Campus walks? Mindfulness sessions? Taste testing? Coffee meetups? Your input will directly shape our future gatherings.
The PGR Sensitive Subjects Collective is affiliated with the Sociology department, but welcomes researchers from ALL disciplines across Warwick University.
