About this Event

Sandi Toksvig, the award-winning author, broadcaster, entertainer and founder of the Women’s Equality Party, has been awarded the inaugural Q+ Fellowship for 2023-24, by the LGBTQ+ research programme in Cambridge University’s Department of Sociology.

As part of her Fellowship, Sandi will be developing a new Mappa Mundi project, with the aim of creating a digital resource documenting women’s position, achievements and struggles across the globe. Join us for an afternoon with Sandi to hear about the progress of the project, and how you can access inspriational stories from women around the globe.

"This new Mappa Mundi project will be a three-dimensional, interactive view of the globe from a female perspective, with the goal of changing the world by learning to see it differently. It will be story-led, data driven and allow women from all countries to present their stories, their hardships, and their triumphs."
