About the Conference​

​

UNSW Criminology Society's Virtual Crime & Justice Conference based on the theme "Southern Criminology" intends to address the cultural gap between the Western countries and the rest of the world, and decolonise criminological knowledge which is currently heavily based on Western context. The Conference embarks on a mission to bridge such intellectual imbalance by inviting guest speakers on an international scale, to come together and discuss critical Criminal Justice issues within their relevant countries. The 3-day conference will cover the following regions for each day – Middle East, Asia and Africa. Attendees will be exposed to a combination of live panels with Q&A, pre-recorded sessions and experience-based speakers covering their personal experiences with racism, gender violence and human rights violations.
