Walking as Critical Pedagogy a feminist walk in Cork

A Walking Pedagogy Tour of Cork City (Theme of Diversity and Inclusion) was led by Professor Maggie O’Neill as part of the UNIC Engaged Research Strategy Forum that took place in Cork City with participants from research, community organisations and CityLabs coordinators from across the UNIC Consortium.

The walk ended with a coffee conversation hosted by the Cork Centre for Sexual Violence. The group were interested to take the conversations around the issue of violence against women, the need for safe speaces in our cities forward and CityLab co-ordinators committed to facilitating a virtual meeting to enable the group to connect again, with each other and with invite extended to other interested researchers and civil society organisations.
