The Centre for Global Indigenous Futures (CGIF) Macquarie University, and the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW), are holding a two-day event titled Decolonising Criminology and Crime Control: Critical Indigenous Perspectives. 

This event aligns with Workstream 14 - Racial Analysis and Anti-Racism Praxis. CEVAW is intimately connected to institutional violence and abuses of power. This workstream focuses on analysis and mechanisms for addressing institutional and systemic racism. Particularly, how racism occurs in the carceral system as well as in media, health, education and employment, and at the levels of policy, strategy and service provision. Research in this area applies racial analysis to VAW and the policies, services and organisations that respond to and feed into it.

Wednesday the 18th (9:30am-4pm) is dedicated to supporting HDR students interested in decolonising criminology and will involve interactive workshops.
Thursday 19 September 2024 (9.00am - 5:00pm) involves a critical analysis and commentary on the decolonisation project as it pertains to the discipline of criminology, and the criminal justice systems across so-called Australia and Aotearoa, New Zealand.
