The conference, "Marginalisation Processes 2012" was aimed at experienced academics, researchers and doctoral scholars and focussed on the sharing of current research activities. The conference was run by members of the multidisciplinary research group CCD/KKOM (Communication, Culture and Diversity) at Örebro University and is supported by the Swedish Research Council.
Alison's paper was entitled: "A Fairer Future, in search of new meanings of inclusion for young people - in their own words", based on her research with inner city young people in one of the most deprived boroughs in the country,
Örebro has the first and only upper secondary school for deaf students in Sweden. The university there has a correspondingly higher proportion of deaf students. Reflecting this, the conference included specialist translator/signers for the benefit of delegates with hearing impairment.
