Global Justice Academy
Description
The Global Justice Academy is an interdisciplinary network that supports research, teaching and knowledge exchange on global justice issues. It seeks to build on, consolidate and expand the work of existing centres and collaborations at the University of Edinburgh.
In particular, the Global Justice Academy aims to provide:
- An interdisciplinary hub for the exploration of what global justice is;
- An intellectual meeting place for the discussion of novel ideas regarding a more just world;
- An institutional forum for dialogue with practitioners engaged in justice issues locally and globally.
The Academy is active in facilitating discussions to enable individual academics and existing centres and networks to expand their scope.
The goal is to allow the members of the Global Justice Academy to broaden their horizons with regard to research, teaching and knowledge exchange. In the medium-term, hopefully this will lead to collaborative research projects, new teaching initiatives and original forms of engagement with the public at large.
The Academy has an active research agenda and broad teaching remit, which includes:
- Conflict and Peace Research
- Human Rights and Social Justice Research
- Urban Justice Lab
- Gender Justice Lab
- Measurements and Indicators Research
- Global Justice Theory Research
