CIJS to Announce Conference Information

We are delighted to report that we have accepted 60 proposals for Placing Justice.? Of these proposals, we have also accepted two art installations. In the coming few weeks we will post a draft schedule. We are excited to see participation from coast to coast and from as far away as Africa this year. Panelists range from leading academics in Criminology, Sociology, Law and Geography to graduate and honours students. CIJS.ca and Critical Perspectives Ottawa welcome all to attend the conference without charge.
