Exploring Harm and Justice Research at Brunel

The Harm and Justice Research Group (HJRG) is a new and exciting research group created this year. We would like to use the Research Festival as a launch event for our growing group of members to showcase the many ways and approaches we have at Brunel to studying harm and justice. The HJRG was initially created by member of the new Criminology Team to showcase the diversity and elasticity of the work done in the criminology discipline. This has meant growing our research group to include other disciplines to engage in a deeper exploration of the subject of harm and justice. 

In this session we aim to engage more broadly with the community in these conversations, to explore different forms of violence, vulnerability, and victimisation in our contemporary society and environment. We believe that the session will provide a valuable conversation that bridges academic silos, whilst engaging the community with discussion on the various ways harm presents itself, what is justice, and how to achieve it. 

This event is part of the Brunel Research Festival,which returns this May for a packed programme of online and in-person activities, celebrating how Brunel's research is changing society for the better. Free and open to all.
