Beyond male role models? Gender identities and work with young men - End of Award Conference
Thursday 12th March 2015, 11:00 - 15:30
Followed by celebratory drinks 16:00 - 18:00
Hub Theatre - The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA
Research team: Dr Martin Robb (OU), Prof Brigid Featherstone (OU), Sandy Ruxton (Independent Consultant) and Dr Mike Ward (OU)
The Beyond Male Role Models? research project has provided a unique opportunity to explore how young men who use welfare services view the gender of professional workers, and how those workers themselves (whether male or female) see gender issues being played out in their respective relationships. Important findings have also emerged in relation to what supports effective work with young men.
This conference will report on the findings and examine the implications for practice and policy through presentations and a short film made as part of the research. Professor David Morgan<http://www.socialsciences.manchester.ac.uk/morgancentre/our-people/david-morgan/>, (Emeritus Professor, Manchester University) will open the event and chair the morning, along with a presentation by Kate Mulley from Action for Children<http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/> who also will be joining us.
This conference is free of charge.
Registration is Now OPEN!
