Conferences

The aim of the programme is to give researchers, including research students from a range of backgrounds, a grounding in planning and undertaking research with children, young people and families.

The summer school is delivered by world-leading researchers based at Edge Hill University. 

They will lead talks and small group sessions in their areas of expertise.

The summer school aims to equip researchers, or those interested in undertaking research, with skills to work with children, young people and families too.

The Critical Studies in Television Conference (8-10 July 2025) is now an established annual conference which brings together the global network of television researchers in one place. This year, we are celebrating 20 years since the inaugural conference that started the journal after which the conference itself is named.

The conference will take place in a blended format, with most participants attending in person in Manchester, while some scholars will join us online. We are expecting around 50 attendees in person.

There are several options available for publishers to advertise:

Physical Stand: The conference utilises a common room between the presentation rooms where lunches and coffees will be served. Publishers can book to have a stand there to showcase books and liaise with potential new authors. Food and drink is not included, but we can offer a reduced rate for food and drink. We will provide one table and a chair. Please let us know of any other requirements.

Advert in the programme brochure: The brochure will include the full programme and will be utilised by all scholars, including those attending online and even potentially curious others. The programme will be printed and made available online via the conference webpage. The advert would cover the whole A4 page.

Do you work or research in an area linked to our conference theme? If so, we would be delighted if you could join us for two days of learning, professional development, and identifying how we can collaborate in the future to improve life chances and make hope possible through education.
