Budding lawyers and criminologists will be shining a spotlight on social justice in a week-long series of events looking at a number of global issues including Ugandan child soldiers and Islamophobia.
Social Justice Week, organised by the University’s Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice, takes place from Wednesday 9 March until Wednesday 16 March at a number of venues across the city.
It includes a public law lecture (Wednesday 9 March) from Dr Clarke Jones from Australia National University, who will share his views on terrorism and radicalisation issues affecting universities across the globe. He is also widely-published in the areas of penology, prison gangs and terrorism.
Other events include two events on recovery and desistance from drugs, a seminar on Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Censorship on Tuesday 15 March at Sheffield Central Library and The Misconceptions Surrounding the Refugee Crisis on Wednesday 16 March.
Meanwhile, Sheffield’s Central Library will display posters by Sheffield Hallam English students considering aspects of censorship and freedom of expression such as taboo, obscenity and paternalism. This display is designed to provoke reflection on 20th and 21st century censorship practices in relation to literature mostly, but also in wider social contexts.
