Recovery and the Arts
Liverpool John Moores University
September 3, 2019
The conference is organised by the Faculty of Science at Liverpool John Moores University and will take place in the Everyman Theatre.
To kick-start National Recovery Month 2019, our conference profiles the fantastic work of the UK arts-based recovery community.
The conference has several aims. It aims to provide a platform for community arts-based projects to display latest work; it hopes to enable those in recovery to share their experiences of art-based recovery; and for academics to present and discuss their research. While the conference serves as a valuable knowledge exchange opportunity, it also aims to provide an opportunity for delegates to identify ‘gaps and needs’ in the arts-based recovery community and develop a plan for action.

Howard League for Penal Reform
Two-day international conference to be held at Keble College, Oxford
Tuesday 31 March – Wednesday 1 April 2020
How social harms are understood, questioned and tackled can have a profound effect on how communities approach crime and justice. This conference comes at a time when communities across the world are experiencing change and uncertainly affecting how they understand themselves and challenges to the status quo. Coping with, responding to and supporting such uncertainty and change brings challenges for political institutions, criminal justice agencies and civic society in developing values, strategies and systems.
We will bring together academics, policy makers, practitioners and those directly affected by the criminal justice system to discuss, reflect on and suggest alternative strategies.
The Howard League’s conference will consider the intersection of issues relating to crime, justice and social harms. Building on the Howard League’s Commission on Crime and Problem Gambling and the burgeoning international concern around it, we are keen to explore the impact of problem gambling on patterns of crime and the societal harms that link crime and problem gambling.
We will be announcing speakers soon.
Call for Papers
The Howard League is looking for papers from academics, policy makers, practitioners, PhD students and researchers from within the criminological and legal disciplines, however we are also keen to include contributions from fields of study including philosophy, geography, political science and economics.
