Meet Nirushan – our inclusive bursary recipient

At the end of 2024, 3 students joined the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences as recipients of our inclusive PhD scholarships.

The scholarship opportunities, which were announced at the start of 2024, promote the benefits of SHAPE (Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts for People and the Economy) researcher careers to more diverse communities.

Nirushan Sudarsan was one of the students awarded the bursary. Since then, he has been working with the School of Geography and Planning on his project, Inclusive spaces for future generations: Co-producing urban spaces and plans with children and young people from ethnic minority communities in Cardiff.

We caught up with Nirushan to find out more about his project and his motivations for working in this area.
