Contakt Magazine

Contakt is about our communities and the issues that impact on our lives. It is intended to be interactive reporting of the news, fostering debate, sharing and learning about key policies and practices. It’s about equipping us to make change on all the issues across all the equality strands.

In this issue, we are giving significant space to the challenges presented to Bristol by the Rev. Jesse Jackson during his Economics of Colour Tour. How should we understand racial justice? What should Bristol do to properly deal with its past? And what role do women play? Our equality strand focus is on Gender. We look at the relationship between spirituality and gender and review two important pieces of work looking at the interaction between gender, race and education.
