DESCRIPTION:This workshop aims to discuss and reflect on the challenges f
 aced by academics/researchers working on equality\, inclusion and social
  justice in “hostile” contexts\, namely those increasingly characterised
  by a systematic attack to freedom of research and expression. This spec
 ific event will be based on a roundtable discussion after short presenta
 tions and will consider the implications of current US politics and poli
 cies on the individual experiences of scholars\, as well as for academic
  research more generally. It will also reflect on the emerging outcomes 
 in terms of social inclusion and social justice.\n\nThis event is organi
 sed by the Work and Equality Institute (WEI) in collaboration with the C
