What a well-thought-out, inspiring & insightful workshop this has been at the @uff_bra Rio de Janeiro. Thanks to the Brazilian academics for hosting us with much love and grace & to the Modern Marronage team for bringing us together & forging meaningful connections/friendships🙏

An absolute pleasure and priviledge hanging out in Rio this week with the 'Modern Marronage- The Pursuit and Practice of Freedom' team and others. Thinking about work in other contexts immeasurably enriches our own work.
