Running from 12:00 to 18:00, the conference showcased a rich variety of research across a wide array of fields including language and literature, education and pedagogy, business and technology, history and cultural studies, philosophy and psychology, sociology and social challenges, and creative writing. Both in-person and online attendance options were offered, and family members were warmly welcomed to join as spectators, adding a supportive and inclusive atmosphere to the day.
The keynote address was delivered by Dr Martina Feilzer, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice, whose insightful reflections set the tone for a day of thoughtful and stimulating discussions.
Alicia Edwards, PhD researcher in Criminology and Criminal Justice and one of the conference’s co-organisers, reflected on the experience:
“This year's conference was a huge success. Working with Holly, Ricardo and Rifah has been a huge privilege as everyone has played a huge part in organising. By being a part of the committee this year I was able to see the work that goes into organising such an event and had opportunity to chair sessions, all invaluable skills that I hope to use in the future.â€
The School of History, Law and Social Sciences extends its congratulations to all participants and organisers on a successful event that highlighted the strength and breadth of postgraduate research at ¶º±ÆÖ±²¥.
