Spark showcase
This year, RSA Spark attracted 100 submissions from 43 universities across the globe. They responded to one of four briefs, each co-developed with an industry partner.
The ‘Exclusion’ issue of the Journal examines the role of race in shaping British society, the clash of the generations over wealth, how councils can facilitate social connections, sexism in football, and much more
