Congratulations to our colleagues Dr Emma Dolan, Politics and Public Administration and Dr Breandán Anraoi MacGabhann, Geography along with Dr Kellie Morrissey from the School of Design on their project’s success at UL Citizens’ Assembly Awards which took place on the 25th May.  

Their project ’Mapping gender equality in public spaces’ was one of four University of Limerick research projects seeking to tackle sustainability issues which were awarded €10,000 each following their selection at the first UL Citizens’ Assembly.

The UL50 Citizens’ Assembly brought together 100 community stakeholders and citizens from Limerick city and county to select four UL projects that they felt “will best contribute to building a sustainable future” for the region.

‘Mapping gender equality in public spaces’ is an interdisciplinary, community-based project which will deploy a map-based survey to quantify the problem and also use pop-up design events with the overall aim of envisioning a safer, more sustainable Limerick City.
