In February 2010 colleagues in the department were delighted to learn that their work in developing links with academics and urban professionals in China has been recognized by the award of the China Business Award in February 2010.
The Faculty's submission included Angela Maye-Banbury's oral housing history research with China Agricultural University, the development of an international symposium with the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) in Beijing, taking place in July 2010. and the annual field trip to Shanghai which is undertaken by students undertaking the Global Perspectives On Regeneration module.

Parent abuse symposium
In the UK child-to-parent abuse remains one of the most under-acknowledged and under-researched forms of family violence.
In order to develop collaborative partnerships to explore this under researched issue in March 2010 Judy Nixon hosted an international symposium at Sheffield Hallam University for an invited audience of senior academics to explore how parent abuse is conceptualised within different policy domains and to discuss new avenues and perspectives for research.

Symposium on Marine Spatial Planning
In May, Dr Stephen Jay organised a symposium on the topic of marine spatial planning, thanks to the availability of Sheffield Hallam University research funds. This brought together 23 people, mainly academics, from throughout the UK and from Ireland, France, Germany and the Netherlands, to discuss some of the latest ideas and developments in this new area of planning research and practice.
14 draft papers had been pre-circulated, and were presented in two streams on the day, allowing for in-depth discussion of each contribution. The emphasis was upon inter-disciplinarily and engagement with spatial planning history and theory.
The symposium will result in several publications, including a special edition of a planning journal, and an ongoing forum on the topic. Feedback from the participants was extremely positive. Many of the presentations given on the day can be viewed in the research outputs section.
