The fight for equal pay: Glasgow City Council, 2018

...determined to fight. Spurred on by the injustice and inequality, a group of women sought the support of private solicitors, Action for Equality (AFE) and Stefan Cross QC. By 2017, the success of this group led GMB and UNISON to join forces with them. What followed was a textbook lesson on how trade unions can organise and through that process build the confidence,...

The ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa

...determine the internal structure of Europa (Figure 2). Models have suggested that Europa has a metallic core surrounded by a rocky layer, like the Earth. This, plus an understanding of the moon’s physical properties, such as density and radius, have allowed scientists to constrain the depth of Europa’s ocean. Current estimates suggest the water-ice layer is ~100 km...

...determination and reform (Koch, 2006, 2015). PAR gives participants a voice to tell and find understandings of coping in their digital stories and deliver outcomes as co-researchers, rather than through the imposition of pre-determined actions (Bradbury, 2015; Dick, 2004; Koch, 2015). The cycle in the image below describes the processes of using PAR within digital...
