Objectives
of the Society
Questions
about justice are ubiquitous in interpersonal relations, within and
between communities, social groups, organizations, and states. They are
at the core of social conflicts and they are essential for sustainable
conflict resolutions. A wide variety of scientific disciplines consider
issues of justice.
ISJR
was founded with three main objectives:
1.
to provide biennial scientific
meetings and further opportunities for the
exchange of scientific information,
2. to foster productive discussions of new ideas, research, and
theories,
3. to encourage international and interdisciplinary cooperation.

About the Society
The
ISJR was
founded with three main objectives: (1) to
provide biennial scientific meetings and further opportunity for the
exchange
of scientific information; (2) to foster productive discussions of new
ideas,
research, and theories relevant to justice; and (3) to encourage
international
and interdisciplinary co-operation in justice theory and research.
Questions
about justice are ubiquitous in interpersonal relations, within and
between
communities, social groups, organizations, and states. They are at the
core of
social conflicts and they are essential for sustainable conflict
resolutions.
ISJR’s membership consists of a network of scientists who work on
justice-related issues. Biennial meetings of the society provide a
forum for
the scientific exchange of theoretical developments and recent
research.
Research and knowledge on topics of social justice is rapidly growing
within
various fields in the social and behavioral sciences. The International
Justice
Conference allows for these various disciplines to meet and exchange
ideas and
research findings (both basic and applied). The conference and ISJR
listserv
act as major conduits in creating a network of eminent scholars from
around the
world. Scholars from many countries are represented at these
conferences, and
the range of disciplines represented is similarly diverse, including
anthropology, behavioral economics, law, psychology, political science,
sociology, as well as other areas.
