Conference

The Biennial Conference of the International Society for Justice Research provides a forum for the exchange and discussion of knowledge related to the multiple facets of justice and fairness.

The ISJR 14th Biennial Conference will be held in September 2012 at The
School of Behavioral Sciences, College of Management, ISRAEL, which is
located in Rishon LeZion, Gush Dan (Tel-Aviv) metropolitan area.

Please keep the following dates in your records:

The Call for Abstracts and poster presentations is open until the end of
January 2012 at the conference webpage,
http://social-justice.colman.ac.il/finished_site/index.html. Three general
themes were selected for the conference by the organizing committee in order
to highlight major facets in the complexity of social justice, and provide a
contemporary context for an inter-disciplinary dialogue. These themes are
not meant to highlight a single focus, but rather to provide a basis for a
panoramic view of social justice in a complex reality. Focal themes that
will be identified as emerging from a plurality of submissions will provide
a basis for organizing relevant new sessions thus contributing to an even
wider panorama of contemporary views of social justice. The final program is
expected to be publicized around March 2012 in the conference website after
receiving and organizing all the submissions. We are happy to have Prof.
Frances Raday, Chair of the Concord Research Institute for Integration of
International Law in Israel at the College of Management and Elias Lieberman
Chair in Labor Law at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Emerita), as a
keynote speaker for the conference; additional keynote speakers will be
publicized shortly in the conference website.

We are expecting an international and inter-disciplinary array of speakers
fostering discussions of new ideas, research, and theories relevant to
justice phenomena. We encourage the participation of scholars from a
diversity of disciplines including social psychology, sociology and
anthropology, law, education, philosophy, ethics, social work, and other
professionals involved in the study of justice. COMAS - The College of
