On Friday, 30 May 2008 the Centre for Women's Studies will host a one-day conference on Violence against Women in honour of Jalna Hanmer, a long-term researcher and activist in this field as well as in Women's Studies. Gabriele Griffin, as well as many other members of staff in the Centre for Women's Studies, the University of York and beyond have enjoyed many collaborative ventures with Jalna Hanmer, and we would like to celebrate her life and achievements, as well as the long way that work on violence against women has come in the last forty years or so.

Among the confirmed speakers at the conference are renowned international researchers in the field including Prof Catherine Donovan, Prof Jill Radford, Prof. Liz Kelly, Prof. Jeff Hearn, Prof. Marianne Hester, Julie Bindel (journalist and activist) and many others. The topics to be addressed will include issues in domestic violence; rape in war and war crimes; men and violence; violence and representation; and histories of activism and research in violence against women.

The cost for the conference will be £23.50 to include morning/afternoon tea and coffee, as well as lunch.

We very much hope that many of you will attend this event, and will come on 30 May 2008.
