Access Academia

Founded in 2021, Access Academia is a student-led charitable initiative that promotes student research and community dialogue on issues of intersectional social justice, such as race, gender, sexuality etc. We are run by a team of 30+ students and researchers in the UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia and the US. We are in the midst of being registered as a charity in the UK. We publish the multidisciplinary Journal for Intersectional Social Justice and Intersections blog. Both publications champion student research that highlights topics under the umbrella of social justice, including but not limited to climate change, gender equality, queer rights, anti-racism, decolonisation practices, visibility of marginalised communities etc. In 2024, we launched the award-winning Social Justice Research Fellowship programme, fostering interdisciplinary research mentorship between undergraduate students and early-career scholars on topics of social justice.
