Theme: Multiple perspectives and interconnectedness of approaches in a context of domestic violence and abuse (DVA)
Nearly two decades ago, “What works in reducing domestic violence” was published in 2001 by Julie Taylor-Browne. This comprehensive work, aimed at professionals, summarised what was known about the successes of various initiatives and agencies in dealing with DVA, drawing on contributions from academic and non-academic experts.
Fast-forward to present day, conversations around evidence-based approaches continue to permeate discussions on DVA. Over the years, sophisticated and more pragmatic approaches have been marshalled to reduce/tackle DVA and to meet the needs of those experiencing DVA.
As an homage to this piece of work, the one-day conference aims to bring together professionals, students, trainees, and academics to further our understanding of domestic violence and abuse interventions; and by extension, how do multi-disciplinary approaches help in resolving the tensions surrounding the complexity of DVA?
‘Multidisciplinarity’ as a concept may be viewed as a pathway to advancing discussions and in achieving goals in research, policy and practice. Additionally, are there alternative interconnected approaches that provide richer understandings and greater public benefit?
We invite you to join us in this important conversation and look forward to welcoming you to Suffolk in 2020.
