IARS. Annual Conference 2013 Agenda. 'Listening To Community Evidence: Race, Gender and Restorative Justice'
IARS. Annual Conference 2013 Agenda. 'Listening To Community Evidence: Race, Gender and Restorative Justice'
Friday 6th December 2013 10:00- 16:30 Honourable Society Middle Temple Main Hall, The Parliament Room London EC4Y 9AT
About the conference In a changing social landscape certain community groups are relegated to the bottom of policy and funding agendas. To prevent the most marginalised voices from being drowned out, the call for action is greater than ever. Without such, our efforts to build a fairer and more inclusive society will prove futile. The IARS Annual Conference 2013 will bridge this gap by launching new research and debating recent developments in three main areas: race & the criminal justice system, gender & abuse, and restorative justice & rehabilitation. Academics, community leaders, politicians and representatives of key organisations will come together to explore these issues. The conference will open with keynote speeches which will then be complemented with three expert panels structured around IARS 2013 research programmes.
Venue
The event will take place in the spectacular surroundings of the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple.
Complimentary Books
Delegates will also receive two new IARS books featuring our latest, cutting-edge research which will be launched at the event, each with a RRP of 9.99.
