papers from IAWBH14, 2024 

Our 14th International conference was held in Huddersfield, UK, from 25-28 June 2024,. It was  inspiring to hear from our esteemed colleagues, Professors Stale Valatne Einarsen and Eva Gemzoe Mikkelson and also from the team from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as well as researchers and practitioners from across the globe. A huge thank you in particular to Stale and Eva, to the ILO team, and to Dr Frances McGregor and her team for putting together an  unforgettable and stimulating event which provided a great opportunity to network and to hear from so many researchers and practitioners. Here is a link to proceedings.
