Regeneration Seminar Series 2013

Following on last years success, UL's Department of Sociology Seminar Series, 'Critical Perspectives on Youth, Community and Urban Regeneration' returns this February with an impressive line-up of speakers. Advance booking is required, contact ycsr@ul.ie

Wednesday 20th February @ 1pm: Kicking the Seminar off is Dr. Cliona Barnes with 'Exploring Community Safety in Limerick Regeneration Communities'. This will be of particular interest to residents of Ballinacurra Weston and Southill as the talk will focus on the Feeling Safe in Our Community report, the research for which was conducted by Dr. Barnes and Dr. Martin Power. The report was commissioned by the Regeneration Agency in 2011 and the recommendations of the report were largely ignored.
