RCCWB’s Next Distinguished Speaker for the 2025-2026 Season

The Research Center for Child Well-Being is thrilled to share about our next Distinguished Speaker for our 2025-2026 season! During the academic year, we have national scholars visit us monthly and present about prevention science, child well-being, health disparities and other societal challenges, and methodological issues relevant to the Center and its research goals.

On Friday, November 7th, we will be joined by Dr. Warren Binford, the inaugural W.H. Lea for Justice Endowed Chair in Pediatric Law, Ethics, & Policy, Professor of Pediatrics, and Professor of Law at the University of Colorado. Dr. Binford will be presenting on “Preventing Online Child Abuse.” You can read more about Dr. Binford, her work, and her experience in her bio.

We have unfortunately cancelled our October 3rd event with Dr. Christina Weiland due to some unforeseen extenuating circumstances. We apologize for any potential related inconvenience or disappointment, but hope we will see any interested individuals at another Distinguished Speaker Series event!

If you’re interested in joining us for our November 7th presentation, make sure to RSVP on the Distinguished Speaker Series page of our website! You will also find the most up-to-date information included on the linked webpage.
