British Society of Criminology Women, Crime and Criminal Justice Network. Critical Conversations on Criminology and Gender: Innovations in Research

Inspired by burgeoning developments in creative and innovative methodologies in criminology, the third annual WCCJN ‘critical conversations’ event will explore contemporary research on women and gender.

This one-day conference will showcase innovative ways of doing and communicating criminological research via visual methods, arts and documents and the positioning of the researcher therein.

Since its inception, researching women in criminology has demanded careful and critical attention to issues of power and politics. We intend that this one-day event continues this critical tradition by tackling questions such as: how can we make research that is meaningful? How can research representations contest marginalisation, stigmatisation and injustice? How can innovative and creative approaches to research help us better capture intransigent concepts like justice or harm?
