Ruth First Exhibition Cabinet has found a new home at Mill Hill Lane.

The Sociology Department has put up the Ruth First Display in the lobby of the Department's new home at Mill Hill Lane, next to the Mill Hill Lane Cafe. Nancy Cartwright put this collection together and took care of it for years before it was donated to the Sociology Department this summer. 

Recently published book "Research & Activism: Ruth First & Activist Research” (Eds Saleem Badat & Vasu Reddy, ESI, 2025) is the latest addition to the collection.
