Event Durham

The first International Contextual Safeguarding Conference, hosted by Durham University in partnership with the AoCPP. This two-day in-person event will launch the Global Centre for Contextual Safeguarding and bring together practitioners, researchers, young people, policymakers and parents from around the world to explore how we protect adolescents beyond their homes.

This meeting brings together researchers from diverse disciplines and regions working on body image (broadly defined) and sociocultural appearance pressures.

The conference, which has met regularly since 1970, brings together established scholars of fifteenth-century studies with colleagues at the start of their academic careers. It seeks to act as a showcase for current research, encourage discussion and explore new directions of enquiry.
