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 nd 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.
