Abstract

In an online Zoom event aimed at queer Early Career Researchers (ECR) we used LEGO®and craft boxes sent to attendees to think through how to make space for ourselves in academia. This facilitated conversations on how it is we make space for ourselves, and find others, in academic contexts and how those external contexts shape those experiences.
