Since its creation in 2002, SPW has had the partnership and collaboration of more than a hundred researchers and activists. Many of them have participated in advisory groups, an even larger number have collaborated with our various transnational research projects, as editors of research reports, as trainees, as partners in the many intersectional initiatives in which we have been involved or even as participants in events and debates that we have promoted over these many years. It is not possible to name all these people here, some of whom have already passed away. But to all of them we leave our immense gratitude for their trust and generosity.
