City St George's, University of London's School of Policy & Global Affairs is delighted to join 'Pint of Science' for the first time in an evening of 'Pint of Social Science' and we look forward to engaging with our Clerkenwell community and sharing our research and knowledge exchange activities, from PhD students to Profs, on the night.
We'll start with a quick PechaKucha-style format to share what some of our PhD candidates are working on and then settle in to hear from at least one Senior Research Fellow/Senior Lecturer and one Professor of Sociology & Criminology.
Drinks and nibbles too…

An Instagram animation campaign to raise awareness about violence against women and girls in Iran
Dr Ladan Hashemi
(Senior Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer. Her research focuses on the intersection of gender, gender-based violence, childhood adversities, and health. A social epidemiologist, she contributes to policy development through international collaborations. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges public health and social science, promoting trauma-informed approaches to violence and public health challenges.)
The United to End Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) campaign represents a collaborative effort to bridge research and advocacy, using animation as a powerful tool to raise awareness and drive social change. This initiative brought together researchers from UK universities, a London-based domestic violence service provider (IKWRO), and Iranian NGOs and animators to highlight the urgent need for action against VAWG. Led by Ladan Hashemi and Professor Sally McManus at the Violence and Society Centre, City St George’s, the campaign was launched on 25 November 2024, aligning with the International Day for the Elimination of VAWG. This presentation delves into the research that informed the campaign, the multidisciplinary collaboration behind its animation development, and the campaign’s impact in engaging diverse audiences. The campaign also intends to educate young persons on what it means to have healthy relationships.
