Signature Events

Rosemary Brown Memorial Conference

Our annual conference was launched in 2014 as a means of bringing academics and students, service-providers, and the broader community together to speak on current issues of diversity, ongoing inequalities, and ways to create positive change. Our previous conferences drew capacity audiences, and we are expecting similar engagements with future events.
