Transforming Justice: A Joint National Conference of Critical Perspectives: Criminology and Social Justice and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Justice Studies, May 14th to 16th, 2025
The departments of Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Victoria (UVic) and the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies’ (CAEFS) Centre for Research into the Processes & Outcomes of Incarceration (CRPOI), in collaboration with the Critical Perspectives: Criminology and Social Justice national committee and the University of Winnipeg’s Centre for Interdisciplinary Justice Studies (CIJS), are hosting a conference titled Transforming Justice, May 14th to 16th, 2025, at the University of Victoria. This conference is also the launching event for CRPOI, and we invite all attendees to learn more about this national network here.
Registration is free, and attendance is open to everyone. We particularly welcome participation from people with lived experience of criminalization and incarceration, students, faculty, advocates, activists, community-based practitioners, and other interested community members.
Transforming Justice is the 14th National Conference on Critical Perspectives in Interdisciplinary Justice Studies. We invite proposals for individual papers, thematic panels, artistic or creative and visual submissions that address the theme described below, as well as proposals that engage more broadly with the critical study of law, crime, order, and social justice.
