To celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month and show solidarity, the Leeds Human Rights Journal (LHRJ) held a fundraising event featuring a range of Leeds based LGBTQ+ music artists.
The event raised money for AKT - a charity that supports LGBTQ+ young people aged 16-25 in the UK who are facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment.
Days of Celebration and Significance.
Rushna Ali-Sadler (PhD student in the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies). Project Mentors: Catherine Long (Equality and Inclusion Unit) and Dr Leah Henrickson (School of Media and Communication).
February 16 is Sangha Day, a key Buddhist holiday celebrating a gathering of thousands of arhats (disciples) to hear the Buddha’s first sermon. But what does it mean for Buddhists in our Faculty community?
This project will showcase our religious and cultural diversity by exploring why special days (religious and secular) are important.
South Asian Feminist Society.
Saminda Sidhu (Film, Photography and Media). Project Mentor: Beth Johnson (School of Media and Communication)
