Dimensions of Police Research, From Borders to Boroughs: A Showcase of Early Career Research
Calling all PhDs and ECRs researching policing!
Hosted by the Centre for Operational Police Research at the University of Warwick, this one-day event provides a platform for ECR and PhD researchers to share and discuss their work in a friendly and supportive environment. We welcome those working from a variety of perspectives and disciplines, be that theoretical, empirical, criminological, psychological, sociological or others. Sessions will be chaired by academic and policy colleagues, providing feedback and a stimulus for discussion.
Policing research can be challenging from the processes of obtaining ethical approvals and gaining access, to the emotional labour of researching difficult spaces. There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion, as well as networking with fellow ECR and PhD researchers.
The event is free of charge and bursaries are available to help cover the cost of travel if needed.
