The Practical Justice Initiative is a major new UNSW Arts and Social Sciences research initiative focused on tackling some of the most difficult social issues that face our society and the globe today.
The Initiative brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from across the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, to better understand key social problems, and seek to solve them in innovative and creative ways.
UNSW's Practical Justice Initiative couples innovative research on the theoretical dimensions of justice together with a practical and applied focus on significant social and political problems such as climate change; health; and sexuality, gender and justice.
The Co-Directors and Stream Convenors of the Practical Justice Initiative are Professor Jeremy Moss (Co-Director and Convenor, Climate Justice Stream) and Scientia Professor Peter Aggleton (Convenor, Sexuality, Gender and Justice Stream).

The UNSW Arts & Social Sciences Initiative engages with community members, not-for-profit organisations, practitioners and policy makers in order to work collaboratively toward meaningful and sustainable social change.
