About

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Justice Studies is housed in the Criminal Justice Department at the University of Winnipeg.

The Centre was founded in 2007 with the mandate of encouraging dialogue between various disciplines in the study of justice. The impetus for the Centre stems from the disciplinary tensions that emerged as the department attempted to create a “foundations based” curriculum for its criminal justice program.

While the CIJS is interested in fostering sociological and criminological approaches to justice, it is also interested in encouraging dialogue with legal, political, philosophical, historical, linguistic, instrumental and international approaches to justice studies. The CIJS is also interested in developing pedagogies of justice studies.

To nurture this dialogue the CIJS endeavours to hold regular conferences and roundtable proceedings. This inauguration began with the conference entitled: Theorizing Justice: Interdisciplining the Divide hosted at the University of Winnipeg between April 23-25, 2009. The tradition continued with Practicing Justice: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Crime, Law and Justice (May 13th to 15th, 2010) and Questioning Justice in Interdisciplinary Times (May 12-14, 2011).
