What is the role Australia (and other developed countries) has in southernising Criminology?
For the next meeting of the Southernising Criminology Discussion Group, we will welcome the distinguished Professor Kerry Carrington. In this event, she will address a frequently asked question: what is the role Australia (and other developed countries) has in southernising Criminology? The relevance of Australian academics in this movement has been criticised by some criminologists, and so this will be a great opportunity to discuss it openly. In so doing, Kerry will also touch upon other related issues, such as the meaning of ‘South’ and what some projects of southernising criminology might be.
To sign-up for the event, please fill out the following registration form, and the event link will be emailed to you ahead of time. Please note that the registration form will close 24 hours prior to the event, so please contact the event organiser after this time.
