Geographies of Justice Research Group

The Geographies of Justice Research Group (GJRG) was formed in January 2010 and became a Research Group in April 2012. The Group aims to provide a forum for exploring the wide range of issues of relevance to justice within contemporary human geography.

GJRG's specific aims include:

• To advance a broad view of the geographies of justice
• To bring together and provide a separate forum for geographers working in this field, to provide the level of focus this work justifies and to foster greater communication, networking and sense of community among scholars
• To foster dialogue and collaboration between geographers working on issues of justice in the Global North and South
• To interrogate the place of policies affecting geographies of justice across a range of spatial scales at varying levels of formality, including governance, social movements and community-led action
• To promote research practice which informs and promotes geographies of justice, including the development of appropriate methodologies, the transformation of personal practices, the exploration of linkages with pedagogy, and modes of research dissemination, influence and academic engagement within and beyond the academic community of geographers
