Overview

Welcome to the Department of Applied Social Sciences (APSS) Student Conference 2025, May 23rd, 2025


Nurturing the Strength in the Face of Adversity


In a complex and rapidly changing world, individuals often find themselves grappling with a myriad of challenges and uncertainties, which can evoke fear and anxiety due to a lack of understanding and guidance. This conference endeavours to shed light on two critical aspects: (a) understanding the antecedents of different types of adversity and (b) promoting effective interventions to facilitate change and navigate these adversities. By merging theory and practice, we aim to bridge the gap between understanding the antecedents of adversity and implementing effective interventions, ultimately empowering individuals to navigate challenges with resilience and create positive change in their personal lives and communities. We look forward to you joining us and contributing to this important discussion!


The language of the conference and presentations will be English.


All presentations will be delivered in person.


We are looking forward to seeing you in May!
