My LSE activism students are breaking out of the classroom into real life. First Sofia Kellogg introduces the team behind the Impact.ivist, an Instagram account started by a group of the students to highlight social justice issues and activism around the world. 7 issues already up, on everything from subversive tattoos in Myanmar to the LGBTQI+ movement in Ghana or the age of consent in France.
