The Centre for Policy Research on Men and Boys (CPRMB) is hosting a series of monthly one-hour zoom webinars (Autumn-Winter series and Spring–Summer series) featuring new research or publications from an academic on men and boys.
A core aim of the CPRMB is to play a covening role in the men and boys’ research and policy space – stitching and bringing together those carrying out research (academics) with those with the power to implement the findings (policymakers, professionals and organisations). And to influence wider society (opinion formers and the public) too.
The focus of the webinars will be on the research background, the findings and results, and importantly the conclusions and recommendations.
The webinars will be interactive – based on a presentation from the academic and then a Q&A session after. The webinars will be recorded.
Please click on this link (Webinar Link) to register for the webinar(s) of your choice on the dropdown. The list of webinars and related information is set out below.
If you require any further information and/or have men and boys’ academic research you would like to feature, please contact mark@menandboys.org.uk
