Description: We're delighted to congratulate Dr Lucy Jones and her project Words We Live By for winning Best Public Engagement Initiative at the 2025 University of Nottingham Policy Impact and Public Engagement Awards. This year's Best Public Engagement Initiative award was given to two fantastic projects, Dr Jones for Words We Live By and Dr Hongwei Bao (CLAS) for 'Poetics of Migration', a project that foregrounds migrant experiences through poetry and participatory arts. "I'm delighted to have received this award for the Words We Live By project," said Dr Jones, "we tried to create something which would increase understanding around using language inclusively and sensitively to talk about gender and sexuality; this feels so important right now, at a time when LGBTQ+ people face increasing hostility and marginalisation."
