Well done to Paula Wood, Prof. Alec Shepley, and Nina Ruddle for their accepted paper at the iPLACE 2026: Liveable (and Lovable) Places Conference in Southampton.

The paper is titled 'Belonging in Place: Understanding Place-Based Identity through Children’s Cultural Engagement'.

Smiling man in a white T-shirt seated outdoors, leaning on his arm with a wristwatch, relaxed against a sunlit backdrop of blurred trees and distant water. Smiling professional woman in a red blazer and patterned blouse, facing the camera in a head-and-shoulders portrait against a plain white background, conveying warmth and approachability.
