The CIJS
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.
CIJS publishes a peer reviewed journal - The Annual Review of Interdisciplinary Justice Research..
