Intersectionality in Criminology

The 2024 ANZSOC Conference is a comprehensive gathering designed to explore the dynamics of crime, justice, and social identities. With a strong emphasis on intersectionality, this conference highlights the interconnected nature of social identities and systems of oppression or privilege. It provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and activists to engage in critical dialogues, share research insights, and propose innovative solutions that address the diverse and intersecting factors influencing crime and justice outcomes, particularly focusing on the experiences of Māori, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, and First Nations peoples.

Submission themes

This could include the following themes (but is not restricted to):

Instructions for submission

The ANZSOC annual conference brings together researchers, academics, students, professionals, practitioners, policymakers and people with lived experience, so we expect a variety of different abstracts to be submitted. This guidance provides some instructions and tips on how to structure your presentation in order to improve the chances of your proposed contribution to the conference being successful. Please note that there is a limit of two abstract submissions per person. Note: abstracts will be blind reviewed so do not use any identifying names in your document.

Instructions for the structure of abstracts
