This year the third annual Postgraduate Criminology Conference will be held at the University of Edinburgh Law School on September 15th and 16th 2011. This follows on from the inaugural conference at the University of Oxford in 2009, and the second PhD Criminology conference held at the University of Cambridge in 2010. In order for postgraduates from across Europe to engage in discussion about emerging research interests in criminology, papers for this conference have been drawn from across this broad field and will feature on themed student panels on the following topics; Researching the Vulnerable, Priorities in Policing Research, Recent Issues in Crime and Politics, Methodological Challenges in Advancing Criminology, Organised Crime, Understanding Penal Landscapes, The Prison Environment and Researching Fringe Criminality. As in previous years, the conference will also include plenary speeches and an expert panel on postgraduate issues. This year Professor Susanne Karstedt of the University of Leeds will be speaking on ‘European Ways of Justice? Exploring Common Values, Different Principles and Multiple Trajectories’ and Professor Fergus McNeill of the University of Glasgow will give a paper on ‘'Reflecting on Criminology with (some help from) Aristotle, Copernicus and Pascal.'  Our expert panel will this year focus on Post PhD Options and Opportunities: With Prof Fergus McNeill (University of Glasgow), Dr Anna Souhami (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Richard Jones (University of Edinburgh).  We hope that this variety of events will provide an ideal forum to meet other postgraduate criminology students and to gain an insight into research taking place across Europe today.  To register for the conference and book accommodation, please follow this link to the conference website:  http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/conferences/PhDCriminologyConference/  You will find information on signing up and getting to the conference there, as well as contact details in case you have any specific questions.  To avoid disappointment, please register as soon as possible, as spaces are limited.

Even though her parents (Clive Owen and Catherine Keener) think their daughter spends too much time chatting online, it seems like a harmless connection, sharing volleyball tips in a chat room. Annie agrees to meet him in person, and he is not who he claims to be. What follows results in events so traumatic that it forever changes the lives of the entire family. The director, David Schwimmer, has been committed to anti-violence advocacy for women for over 14 years. He made this film to raise awareness of child sexual abuse and exploitation, to promote discussion and highlight the impact on the whole family. He has especially focused on the father’s reactions. Following the screening there will be an audience/panel discussion and we are delighted to welcome to the panel, Karen Boyle, Lecturer Film & TV Studies, University of Glasgow, Chief Inspector Graham Goulden, Violence Reduction Unit and Liz Grattan, Team Leader, Family Support Project.

Gudrun works with Stigamot, a leading Icelandic feminist organisation. She is the Icelandic national expert to the EWL Observatory on violence against women and Chairperson for the board of Skotturnar, an umbrella organisation for the Icelandic Women’s NGOs. Stigamot is an education and counselling service for survivors of sexual abuse and violence. Icelandic feminist groups have led successful campaigns on male violence, including on incest, prostitution, and other forms of sexual exploitation. Iceland is one of the few countries to bring in legislation against stripping and lap dancing - and possibly the only one to do so because of concerns about exploitation. Gudrun will be sharing her experiences of developing campaigns in Iceland to legislate against violence and exploitation and on the impact these have had on attitudes towards women in Icelandic culture. This event will be funded through the Ingrid McClements Memorial Award No charge for attendance - donations welcome. If you would like to attend mailto:wsproject@btconnect.com or call 0141 552 2221 We anticipate that there will be a lot of interest so please book your place soon.
