14th IAWBH INTERNATIONAL Conference abstractsOur 14th International conference in Huddersfield, UK, from 25-28 June 2024, was an absolutely fabulous event with some amazing speakers. It was particularly wonderful and very inspiring to hear from our esteemed colleagues, Professors Stale Valatne Einarsen and Eva Gemzoe Mikkelson. It was also good to see the team from the International Labour Organisation (ILO) at our event. A huge thank you to Stale and Eva, to the ILO team, and also to Dr Frances McGregor and her team for putting together such a truly unforgettable and stimulating event which offered such a fine balance between excellent conference presentations and memorable venues for our conference social calendar (and yes, there was dancing!) We will have more to say in our upcoming July-August 2024 newsletter............ You will find the conference proceedings here.
