Such an important message from Dr. Margaret Byron @uniofleicester at the @I_REACCH Research Culture Event — a timely reminder that 'community' is not a one-size-fits-all concept. Appreciating the depth and diversity of lived experiences is crucial for truly equitable research. 👏.
Dr Margaret Byron spoke at the @I_REACCH Research Culture Event on Friday 30 May 2025 encouraging Staff and Researchers to avoid simplistic ideas of ‘community’, highlighting the complexity of people’s lived experience on their 'Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Equity' theme.
