第一次在你们两个ars, the Centre for Interdisciplinary Justice Studies (CIJS) at The University of Winnipeg, along with the Department of Criminal Justice and Centre for Access to Information and Justice (CAIJ), is returning in-person for their annual justice-series conference.
I think people working for community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, and even government may be quite interested in the presentations and keynote speakers.
Dr. Katharina Maier
消费正义：法律，犯罪，正义和消费is taking place May 11-13 at UWinnipeg, in conjunction with the 11th National Conference on Critical Perspectives in Criminology and Social Justice.
Over the course of three days,Consuming Justicewill offer a venue for scholars in the social sciences, humanities, and beyond to critically examine how issues of crime, law, and justice intersect with consumption and how justice itself is consumed through media, popular culture, and through research and collective action within and beyond the academy.
“We were interested inConsuming Justiceas the theme for different reasons,” said Dr. Katharina Maier, Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice. “One being the interdisciplinary nature of the theme, which aligns closely with our department, but also other social sciences such as environmental justice, green justice, food security, human rights, and more.”
International gathering
Speakers will be coming from across the world for this conference.
Maier says it will be a great opportunity to show academics not only what UWinnipeg is all about, but also the City of Winnipeg.
“Many of the participants have never been to Winnipeg,” she said. “I know they’re quite excited to see both campus and the city. We typically make a point to take people around town.”
And by drawing internationally renowned scholars, Maier says this conference is a must-attend for many local organizations.
“I think people working for community-based organizations, non-governmental organizations, and even government may be quite interested in the presentations and keynote speakers,” she said. “We have a very wide variety of scholars from different disciplines, which is exciting for us and exciting for the participants.”
