15. Running a Social Justice Consultancy

<html>Welcome to episode 15 of Justice Studio Sessions. In this concluding episode of series one, we have a frank discussion about what it means to run a consultancy focused on social justice. In this episode we discuss the challenges of running a small values based business in an industry that favours the big boys.For this episode Marianne Moore, foundress of Justice Studio, is joined by Dr Irum Ali a social scientist and consultant who runs the organisation Inclusive Growth with her co-founder. Irum has nearly two decades of experience in both the academic and charity fields, working on a range of projects across research, policy and evaluation areas. Her current areas of interest lie in diversity, equity and inclusion in the charity sector, the impact of poor public service provision on marginalised communities and race equality policy.In this no holds barred episode, Irum and Marianne talk about their personal experiences and frustrations running a consultancy committed to social justice and equity in a capitalist world. We hope the topics raised will resonate with other consultants and small business owners and can be a force for more community rather than competition amongst us.Links for this episode:Follow Irum on Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/drirumali/" target="_blank">Irum Ali</a>Visit her website: <a href="http://www.inclusivegrowth.co" target="_blank">www.inclusivegrowth.co</a>Justice Studio’s website: <a href="http://www.justicestudio.org" target="_blank">www.justicestudio.org</a>Follow Justice Studio on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/justicestudio/" target="_blank">@justicestudio</a>Follow Justice Studio on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/justicestudio" target="_blank">@justicestudio</a>Follow Marianne on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/creatrix.london?igshid=YzVkODRmOTdmMw==" target="_blank">@</a><a href="http://creatrix.london" target="_blank">creatrix.london</a></html>
